5.1 Tobacco Preparation

Proper tobacco preparation is crucial for optimal machine performance and consistent cigarette quality. Use tobacco that is dry and has a consistent cut. Tobacco that is too moist or has excessively long strands can lead to jams and uneven filling. It is often beneficial to air-dry tobacco for a few hours before use to achieve the ideal moisture level.

5.2 Loading the Tobacco Hopper

Open the lid of the tobacco hopper. Fill the hopper with your prepared tobacco. The large hopper is designed to hold enough tobacco for up to 30 cigarettes. Ensure the tobacco is evenly distributed but not overly packed in the hopper. Close the lid after loading.

Slide an empty cigarette tube onto the nozzle located on the side of the machine. Ensure the tube is fully seated against the machine for proper injection. The machine supports both King and 100mm size tubes.

5.4 Selecting Cigarette Density

The Powermatic III+ features a digital display that allows you to select your desired tobacco compression (density). Use the density selection button (typically located near the display) to cycle through available settings. Experiment with different settings to find your preferred cigarette firmness.
