7.2 .......Setting up 

To set a perforator in the required position,  follow these  steps:-  

- Set up the feed bed as described previously in section 3.1. 

- Loosen the hub with the perforating blade fitted and all other  

hubs on the shaft.  

- Wind a sheet through the machine until the sheet is near  the 

blade.  

- Tighten the hub with the blade in the exact position to the job.  

- Wind the sheet out of the machine and set the stacker guides and 

backstop. ( see section 3.6 on page 13 ) 

- Set all the other hubs as shown in the drawings,(Figs 7.11 & 7.12) 

noting the gaps between upper tyres and lower hubs.  THIS 
SETTING IS IMPORTANT  to ensure perforating accuracy. 

- Fit a perforation stripper as close as possible to the perforating 

blade (as shown in Figs. 7.11 & 7.12.) This will prevent the sheets 
wrapping around the blade. 

See section 8.1 (Slitting) for an 

important note about setting stacker  guides & sheet smoothers.
