Baumfolder BAUM20: Perforating instructions - Manual (Page 2)

Perforating Continued:
To install the perforating accessories, first remove the
slittershaft housing on the non-operator side of the
folder. Loosen the holding knob and remove it from the
housing. Insert the holding knob into the tapped hole in
the side of the housing and screw it into the tapped
hole completely. Pull out on the holding knob and
remove the housing from the slittershafts. The
slittershafts stay in the folder. Use the 4mm hex allen-
key ball driver to loosen the brass tip setscrews that
are holding existing accessories in place. Slide the
accessories that need removed off of the slittershafts.
Install the perforating blades onto the blade holder.
Note that there are multiple spacers of different
thicknesses on the blade holder. These are for
mounting multiple blades at incremental center
distances on the same blade holder. These are helpful
for perforations that are close together.
When installing the perforating blades onto the blade
holders, be sure to mount the blade holders so that the
rotation of the shaft will not loosen the locking nut.
Use the “Y” spanner wrench that is included with the
tools for the folder to loosen and tighten the blade
holder nut.
The perforating blade is to have the flat side running
against the sharp side of the female scoring collar and
the bevel side is to be pointing toward the next folder.
The (2) grooves in the collar are for scoring only. The
flat, sharp side of the collar acts as an anvil just like a
pair of scissors. If the perforating blade is not against
the anvil side the perforations will be ragged and of
poor quality.
