In an apparatus for manufacturing a bidirectionally openable slide fastener, a guide unit (42) is disposed between a pair of spaced first and second slider attachment units (26, 36) for holding taut an individual slide fastener length between the guide unit (42) and a chain gripper (32) even when the individual slide fastener length is severed from a slide fastener chain (10) after the threading of a first slider (12) on the first slider attachment unit (26) but before the threading of a second slider (13) on the second slider attachment unit (36). With this guide unit (42), the individual slide fastener length is tensioned properly, so that the second slider (13) can be smoothly and reliably threaded over the slide fastener length. |
