8.1 .......Slitting
Slitting is carried out on the output shafts and is very similar in
operation to Perforating as described in the previous section.( 7 )
As with the Perforators the Slitting Blades are split into two
matching halves,
(which should not be mixed)
but in this case they
are fitted to both the upper and lower output shafts, using the
screws supplied, as shown in fig. 8.11. An Anvil is not required.
When fitting and setting Slitters, refer to Fig 8.11 below and the
instructions for Perforating in section 7, starting on page 24.
NOTE ..... Having setup for Perforating or Slitting it is important that
the Hold Down Wheels, Stacker Guides, and Sheet
Smoothers are correctly set. If you experience any
straightness or alignment problems, check that the Hold
Down Wheels are positioned on, or equally about the
centre of the sheet, Stacker Guides are not touching the
sheet and that the Smoothers are not steering the sheet
before it is clear of the output shafts.
