1.5 Trimming a Strip from Center of Sheet
Figure 31 shows the setup for taking a quarter inch trim out of the center of a sheet. Two or more trims may be made
as long as duplicate sets of cutters and strippers are used and this setup adhered to.
A strip three sixteenths of an inch wide is the minimum trim. This is the thickness of two of the cutting blades placed
together and attached to a blade holder collar. Blades on the upper shaft, for all trims up to one-quarter inch, are
attached to one collar. If a strip wider than one-quarter of an inch is to be cut, each blade is attached to an individual
collar and any desired width may be cut.
To remove the trim, place the appropriate center stripper between two of the cutting blades, attached to a collar, as
shown in Figure 31.
Attaching blades to collars is very important and should be done with care. The bevel of the cutting blades on the
top shaft should always be directed toward the strip to be trimmed. The bevel of the blades on the lower shaft should
be directed away from the strip.
Before the cutting blades are tightened to the blade holder collars, slide both the collar and attached blade on the
end of the shaft so that they are accurately aligned. Place cutting blades on the upper shaft to the proper position
where the cut is to be made. Then place collars on the lower shaft so that the flat sides of the blades are pressed
snugly together. Too much space between the blades will give a ragged edge. Always examine blades for dullness and
nicks which will cause the same condition.
When blades are in the proper position, mount the stripper as shown. Be sure the stripper does not touch the sides
of the cutting blades.
With this setup, the trimmed out section automatically goes between the blades on the lower shaft, where it is
carried down and around and guided to the floor by the stripper wire.
1.6 Blade Installation
WARNING!!!
EXTREME CARE MUST BE TAKEN IN THE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF ALL
SLITTER, PERFORATING, AND SCORING BLADES. EXCESSIVE FORCE AND/OR MISUSE CAN CAUSE
PERSONAL INJURY, BREAKAGE, EQUIPMENT AND MACHINE DAMAGE
All blade attachment is performed in the same manner. The locking collar of the blade holder is removed using the
provided spanner wrench.
The blade to be changed is moved far enough along the slitter shaft to permit the blade to be twisted open and
slipped from the shaft via the slit in the blade.
Install the new blade in the reverse order. Twist the blade so that the slit opens. Slip the blade onto the slitter
shaft, replace and tighten the locking collar with the furnished spanner wrench.
