4.2 Scoring
The 714XA can be used to score a sheet and
deliver it flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds
have been made.
To ensure accuracy in making right-angle
folds, always score the sheet where the fold is to be
made. This applies in all instances when a perfora-
tor cannot be used.
Attach the scoring blade loosely to the blade
holder for mounting on the slitter shaft. Scoring
blades can be mounted on either the upper or lower
slitter shaft. Once on the shaft, tighten the screws,
aligning both the blade and the collar. This allows
free horizontal movement on the shaft. Scoring
blades should be placed so that the fold will be
made with rather than against the scoring, or, in a
continuing direction to the pressure of the crease
that has been applied by the scoring blade.
Figure 4.2-1
For a wide, well-rounded score, use the two
steel scoring collars. (See Figure 4.2-1) Sharpness
and the depth of the score can be controlled by
regulating the distance the collars are placed away
from the scoring blade.
The scoring collars can also be placed on
either side of the rubber scoring collar. The two
collars can be compressed against the rubber collar,
causing the rubber to bulge up for a deeper score.

4.3 Slitting
NOTE: Slitting accessories are optional on
your 714XA and can be ordered from your
BAUMFOLDER Parts Department.
The 714XA can be used to cut folded or flat
sheets apart. The general setup for blades and
collars is shown in (Figure 4.3.1). Two or more
cuts may be made if duplicate sets of cutters are
used.

Use care in mounting slitter blades to the
collars in order to avoid ragged edges during slitting
operations. Ragged edges can be caused by two
conditions:
1) Nicks or burrs on the collars or blades.
Remove carefully by filing or using a fine piece of
emery cloth.
2) Incorrect mounting of blades caused by
tightening with the wrong type of screw. Always use
flat head screws on the side of the blade and blade
holder collar, which are countersunk.
