3.1 Setting Perforating Block 1) Loose Thumb Screw and squeeze Release Levers by fingers to slide Perforating Block right or left. Refer guide scale. 1) Perforation Unit (2) Fitting and fixing Blade Receipt Roller - Loosen Roller Fixing Screw by Phillips Screw Driver and place Blade Receipt Roller fit to the Perforating Blade. - Then fix Roller Fixing Screw. NOTE： Before setting Perforating Block, make sure to place Blade Position Reference at center position so that fine adjustment may be possible after the Block is installed. Refer “3.4.1 Adjusting line location” CAUTION： Perforating Blade is designed always to be pressed against Blade Receipt Roller. Do not move the Roller without squeezing Release Levers. When Levers are squeezed, they give distance between Blade and Roller. CAUTION： While fixing Thumb Screw, press Thumb Screw towards Block Mounting Arm so that Perforating Block sets square to Block Mounting Arm. This helps the paper to be fed straight. CAUTION： Roller Fixing Screw must be fixed at the position where Transport Shaft has flat cut. Otherwise, the Blade Receipt Roller will not be fixed to the Shaft and the Roller may be damaged.

In this case, we have to live with single Rubber Ring. However, as much as possible, try to use two Rubber Rings at both sides for stable paper feeding. CAUTION： Press Thumb Screw to Block Mounting Arm when fixing the Perforating Block. This helps the paper to be fed straightly.

- Place Blade Position Reference to adequate position and perforate. - After first perforation done, reload the sheet to Paper Feed Tray reversing the paper position. - Then perforate 2nd line again. 1st Perforation 2nd Perforation NOTE： Scale graduation and Blade Position Reference are for guidance only. To perforate at the accurate position, use fine adjustment mechanism. Refer “ 3.4.1 Adjusting line location ” Further information： If desired to perforate two lines by one operation, add one additional perforating block (optional) to the transport shaft. Note due to frame size of perforating block, perforating too closed lines or too far apart lines may be limited. Refer “ 4. Adding Perforation Unit “

3.4.1 Adjusting line location 3.4.2 Adjustment of perforating angle In case perforation is not performed in the right angle, adjustment of angle may be possible. 【Refer to the figure on the right.】 - In case finishing of perforation is angled to right “a.”, turn Slant Adjustment Dial to the direction of “1”. - In case finishing of perforation is angled to left “b.”, turn Slant Adjustment Dial to the direction of “2”. - If the line is extremely out of desired location, Perforating Unit must be relocated. - If the line is away for approximately 5mm or less from desired position, fine adjustment may be possible without changing Perforating Block set up. Fine Adjustment Dial: While squeezing release levers, turn Fine Adjustment Dial to direction ① and Perforation position moves to right (direction ①) . When it is turned towards direction ②, Perforation position moves to left (direction ②) . NOTE: Before fixing Perforating Block, make sure to place Blade Position Reference to center position so that fine adjustment may be possible after the Block is fixed.

How to use Thick-Paper Perforating Unit (Option) １) How to install the Thick-paper Perforating Block (Optional Parts) ２) How to use Thick-paper Perforating Block Thumb Screw Loosen Thumb Screw and remove Standard Perforation Unit. Replace with Thick-Paper Perforation Unit. Then tighten the Thumb Screw to secure. THICK MEDIUM OFF : While keep installing Perforation Unit(Medium,Thick Paper or Narrow), Unit does not perforate paper. MEDIUM : When medium thickness paper is perforated, adjust position here around, watching perforated sheet. THICK : When thick paper is perforated, Adjust position here around, watching perorated sheet. ※Other usage is the same as the Standard Perforation Unit. Please refer to the “ 3. How to use “ and “ 4. Adding Perforation Unit “. NOTE: 1) While watching how perforated, adjust pressure. 2) Perforating Blade is extremely sharp, do not touch by bare fingers. By rotating Pressure Control Nut, adjust Perforating blade pressure. ・When Thinner Paper ⇒ Rotate Clockwise (Pressure lowered) ・When Thicker Paper ⇒ Rotate Counter-Clockwise (Pressure increased) Pressure Control Nut

When fed, thicker paper might be damaged because of the friction between a paper feed roller and a separator. You should change the separator with Thick-paper Separator in that case. Thick-Paper Separator is marked with red-line. Please refer to the following for how to replace the separator. Paper Separator How to remove a paper separator How to place a paper separator Raise the rear side to take out. ① Press the rear side to set. Fit the front side in the curve. NOTE: If paper still curves or other problem remains even when you operate the machine with Thick-paper separator, please turn over the papers you stack on the paper feed table and try again. NOTE: If you find the cut edge is not fine when you tear off along the perforation, fold the paper back and forth and tear it off slowly. Paper Feed Roller ② ① Paper Separator Brake Rubber ②

2) Scoring Unit (1) Scoring Position Move V-Groove of Lower Scoring Roller to the place where scoring. Then, fix the Roller by Philips Screw Driver.

7. Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy - Replace Paper Separator Paper Slippage - Replace Paper Feed Roller - Remove jammed paper by removing Perforation/Scoring Unit from Folding Machine. - Remove jammed paper. Then adjust mounting location of Roller. Make the Transport Rollers grip perforating/scoring paper at the both sides. Paper Jam - Slow down running speed - Make no play to the paper placed between the Paper Guides in the Paper Feed Tray of the Folding Machine. - Adjust by Slant Adjustment Dial. - Adjust mounting location of Transport Roller. Make the Transport Rollers grip perforating/scoring paper at the both sides. Slanting - Re-mount Perforating/Scoring Unit firmly to Block Mounting Arm. - Make sure to ride Perforating Blade on Blade Receipt Roller. Not Sufficient Perforation - Replace used/old Framed Perforating Blade to new one. - Upper Scoring Roller is too deep. Lift the Scoring Roller by Shallower/Deeper Adjustment Screw. Torn Scoring - Upper Scoring Roller is not matching with V-Grooved Lower Scoring Roller. Match the Upper Scoring Roller to V-Groove by Fine Adjustment Dial. Not Sufficient Scoring - Upper Scoring Roller is too shallow against V-Grooved Lower Scoring Roller. Lower the Scoring Roller by Height Adjustment Screw.
