Preparation before use

1. Remove 1st Folding Table to the
2. Remove the connector of 2nd Folding
3. Install Perforating / Scoring Unit to

(2 positions in right and left.)

the place where 1st Folding Table

NOTE： Insert the Connecting Plates of Perforator to the Guides of Folding machine.

(2 positions in right and left.)

4. Set the Paper Control Wire onto the center of Wire Mounting Shaft and place the

Wire Rubber Rings on the both sides of the wire.

How to use

1. Perforation Unit

Setting Perforating Block

1. Loose Thumb Screw and squeeze Release

Levers by fingers to slide Perforating Block

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”

Blade Position Reference

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.

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：

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：

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.

3. Setting Paper Transport Rollers, Upper and Lower, at proper position

Place the Paper Transport Roller where they can grip paper positively.

Firstly, loosen Lower Philips Fixing Screws on both sides.

Slide and position them to the appropriate location and fix them.

Then, loosen Thumb Screws of Upper Transport Rollers on both sides.

Slide and position them so that Upper Transport Rollers ride on the Lower Transport

Roller Fixing Screw

Transportation Shaft

CAUTION：

Press Thumb Screw to Block Mounting Arm when fixing the Perforating Block. This helps the paper to be fed straightly.

CAUTION：

Depending location of perforating line, it may not always be possible to place Upper Transport Roller riding on the two Rubber Rings. 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.

【Perforation Examples】

1. Perforating at the center of a sheet

• Place Blade Position Reference to 0 (Zero) position of the scale.

2. Perforating two lines on a sheet by single perforation block.

• Place Blade Position Reference to adequate position and perforate.
• After first perforation done, reload the sheet to Paper Feed Tray reversing the paper
• Then perforate 2nd line again.

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 “

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 ”

Method for changing operation mode

Refer to the “ 3.2 Method for changing operation mode ”.

2. Set papers on Paper Feed Tray, set Counter to “1” and press “START” Key.
3. Evaluate if the perforation is done properly as desired.

Fine Adjustment of Perforating Line

• 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.

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.

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) .

How to Replace the Separator with Thick-paper Separator

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.

② Press the rear side to set.

Raise the rear side to take out.

① Fit the front side in the curve.
