 The  new  BAUM  1620  folders  include  a  new  design  of  fold  roll  gap  adjusting  gapsets  that  only  require  
the  operator  to  turn  the  gapset  knob  to  the  correct  number  for  the  thickness  and  proper  number  of  
sheets  required  to  effectively  drive  the  signatures  through  the  fold  rolls.  This  new  paperless  gapset  
design  does  not  require  the  operator  to  tear  strips  of  paper  and  place  them  into  the  gapsets.  

Safety:  

1. It  is  recommended  to  shut  incoming  power  off  to  the  folder  by  using  the  main  power  

disconnect  located  on  the  parallel  unit  or  disconnecting  power  to  the  machine  by  unplugging  it  
from  any/all    power  source(s).  
 

2. Due  to  possible  injury,  never  attempt  or  allow  anyone  to  attempt  to  set  the  fold  roll  gapsets  

while  the  fold  rolls  are  running.  
 

 Critical  items  that  need  special  attention  during  initial  build/rebuild  of  gapsets:  to  ensure  proper  gapset  
operation:  

1. The  5/16-­‐18  elastic  stop  nut  must  only  be  tightened  just  enough  to  where  it  touches  the  gapset  

knob.    
 
Note:  Any  torque  on  this  nut  onto  the  gapset  knob  will  cause  an  improper  gapset  calibration.  
 

2. The  gapset  rod/block  weldment  has  a  center  drill  spot  on  the  block.  This  center  drill  spot  is  

placed  on  the  block  to  indicate  which  orientation  this  black  is  to  be  placed  in  reference  to  the  
foldhead  frame.  
 
Note:  The  side  of  the  block  with  the  center  drill  spot  is  to  face  away  from  the  foldhead  frame  
such  that  when  the  gapset  assembly  is  complete,  you  should  see  this  center  drill  spot.
