A method of operating a draw frame including a plurality of serially arranged roll pairs each defining a nip through which a fiber sliver passes from roll pair to roll pair. Each roll pair is formed of an upper roll and a lower roll. A pressing arm carries the upper rolls, and pressing devices are accommodated in the pressing arm for pressing each upper roll against a respective lower roll. The method comprises the following steps: during the working state of the draw frame, passing the sliver consecutively through the roll pair nips while the pressing devices press the upper rolls against respective lower rolls, and during an interruption of the working state the upper output roll is relieved of pressing forces to an extent that at the most only an insubstantial pressure is exerted by the upper output roll on the sliver situated in the nip between the upper output roll and the lower output roll.
