Abstract: Featured for removing the cover sheet from a dry film laminated on a board is the combination of a knurling wheel action and an air blowing injector which work together in a single stroke to separate the cover sheet from the edge of the dry film, with which combination a sucking roll is provided in cooperative relation, and which, upon touching the surface of the board, starts to rotate whereby the cover sheet, already separated in an area thereof from the dry film, is sucked and peeled from the dry film by the sucking roll and with continued rotation of the sucking roll is removed in its entirety from the dry film.
