7.2 Check Squareness of Fold
Examine the folded sheets on the stacker to make
sure that you are getting an even and square fold.
There is a skew adjustment on each plate to adjust
for a square fold on paper that is not cut square
(See
figure 6.4-1).
7.3 Use of Handwheel
The handwheel is used to help clear jams and for
setup. To use the handwheel, shut off the folder, pull out
the handwheel and turn it in either direction.
8.0 PERFORATING, SCORING
& SLITTING
In addition to folding, your 714 Friction can perforate,
score and slit.
WARNING
Be careful when handling perforator and slitting
blades. They are extremely sharp.
8.1 Perforating
The 714 Friction 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 8.1-1
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
8.1-1)

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
8.1-2) This strips the paper off for delivery and prevents
it from wrapping around the perforator blade.
