Appendix B:
How to install a Perforator
on a Baum 714
** UNPLUG POWER SUPPLY BEFORE WORKING ON ANY FOLDER **
The perforator blade is sharp. Extra care should be exercised to protect you from
a cut by the perforator blade.
* Underlined items are shown/noted on diagram page.
1. On the air feed and the 714 AUTOFOLD units, disconnect the air and vacuum hose and on the
AUTOFOLD, disconnect the electrical connection to the feed table. Lift up the rear of the feed
table and lift it toward you to remove the feed table. Under the feed table and just prior to the
stacker is the slitter shaft assembly. On the left side of the slitter shaft assembly is a screw or a
plunger that tighten against the frame to remove endplay (movement from side to side). Loosen
the screw or plunger. Carefully lift both ends up even and toward you and lay the slitter shaft
assembly on a worktable.
2. Loosen the socket head bolt from the end of the tie bar that fastens the left slitter shaft boxing
to the complete assembly and remove the boxing from the slitter shafts.
3. Loosen the setscrew in the left pullout tire assembly and remove it from the top slitter shaft. Do
not remove the right pullout tire assembly.
4. To prepare the perforator blade, remove the two screws from the blade holder collar and lay the
perforator blade onto the side of the blade holder collar and align the screw holes in the collar and
replace the two screws to fasten the perforator blade to the blade holder collar. Do not tighten the
screws at this point.
5. Slide the perforator blade and the blade holder collar to the center of the top slitter shaft and
tighten the brass point set screw. Now tighten the two setscrews on the blade holder collar.
6. Replace the left pullout tire assembly on the top slitter shaft and place it about three inches from
the perforator blade and tighten the brass point set screw to secure it to the top slitter shaft.
7. Keep all the brass point set screws in a line so if you have to move any one of them later, you do
not have to keep turning the shafts.
8. Install the perforator stripper on the tie bar so it comes from the front of the tie bar and down
and between the perforator blade and the bottom slitter shaft. Do not tighten yet.
9. Remove the left pullout tire assembly from the bottom slitter shaft by loosen the brass point set
screw and sliding it off the bottom slitter shaft.
