strips of paper. (The thickness of paper you are going to run).
You want a drag as you pull the strips. If you have a folder
with STANDARD TENSION SCREW ROLLER
ADJUSTMENT, loosen the TENSION LOCKING NUT and
turn the ADJUSTING KNOB clockwise to add tension on the
strip of paper or counter clockwise to reduce tension on the
strip of paper. Once you get an even drag on both strips of
paper, tighten the Tension Locking Nut so the adjustment
doesn’t change. Set the second roller with one thickness the
same as you did the first roller except when you turn the strip of paper in the second roll,
the rollers are turning forward so you do not have to rock it backwards. The third roller will
be set with one thickness the same way as the number one roller. The number four and
five rollers will be set with three strips, on top of each other, or three thicknesses using
the same procedure as with the number one and two rollers. When setting the number
five rollers, you should turn the sheets into the rollers and rock it forward to bring the
rollers back together after backing the strips of paper into the rollers.
4. If you have Baumsets on your folder, read the next
section on how to calibrate the Baumsets. Once
they are calibrated, then all you have to do is put
one thickness of paper in the right and left
baumsets on the number one, two, and three
rollers and three thickness of paper in the right and
left baumsets on the four and five roller.
5. Now replace the number one and three fold plates,
leave the deflectors up because the paper will go
into both of these plates. Lower the number two
fold plate and lower the deflector. We will be
deflecting the number two-plate. Raise the number
two-plate back into position.
6. Repeat the above procedure with the number four
fold plate. You may have a three-plate folder and
have a “dummy” deflector in the number four
position. If so leave it as it is.
7. The FOLD PLATE STOP is equipped with
THUMBSCREWS for major adjustments, and
MICROMETER adjustment for close adjustments.
Set the Fold Plate Stops at three and nine sixteenth and tighten the
