How to adjust or replace the Perforation Blade 
(ADMIN)[online video] 

The perforation blade makes a dotted cut to divide the bags between the seals on the top and 
the bottom of each bag. The blade also makes a small “pre-cut” or “notch” to assist the end 
user with tearing the bags into single packets or strips of packets. This procedure describes 
how to replace the old perforation blade and heater rubber and install a new blade and heater 
rubber.  This document also includes inspection and adjustment procedures for the anvil 
assembly . 

Required Materials 

3 mm Allen Wrench 
1.5 mm Allen Key 

Anvil Assembly
