4.0 PERFORATING,
SCORING & SLITTING
In addition to folding, your 714XA can perforate, score
and slit.
WARNING
Be careful when handling perforator and slitting
blades. They are extremely sharp.
4.1 Perforating
The 714XA can be used to perforate either
the folded sheet (to assist in making a right-angle
fold) or to perforate sheets delivered flat.
BAUMFOLDER supplies one standard 41-tooth
perforator blade. Additional perforator blades are
available through the BAUMFOLDER Parts
Department.
The perforator blade should be mounted
loosely to the blade holder with the retainer collar to
give better support to the perforator blade. Always
be sure that the flat side of the blade is against the
blade holder. Loosen the brass-tipped set screws
in the perforator collar and blade holder before
attempting to place them on the slitter shafts.
Figure 4.1-1
The perforating blade holder assembly is then
slid onto the upper slitter shaft along with the
necessary pull-out tire assemblies. Then tighten the
screws holding the perforator blade to the blade
holder, aligning the blade to the holder. This allows
for free horizontal movement on the shaft.
Slide the grooved perforator collar onto the
lower slitter shaft along with the other pull-out tire
assemblies. The flat side of the perforator blade
should just touch the side of the groove in the
perforator collar. (See Figure 4.1-1)

TOP SHAFT
TOP SHAFT
Slide the perforator collar and blade holder to
the desired position on the slitter shaft. Then lock
the blade holder and perforator collar into position
with the brass-tipped set screw.
The perforator stripper fits onto the slitter shaft
bar in between or next to the perforating blade.
(See Figure 4.1-2) This strips the paper off for
delivery and prevents it from wrapping around the
perforator blade.
