NOTE: The Perfmaster Dash is capable of handling many types of applications above and beyond the standard specifications. It is possible to feed quite a variety of jobs, from 30” sheets to die cut stocks. However, the performance of the Perfmaster Dash on these special applications is directly related to the experience of the operator.

SAFETY PROCEDURES

BEFORE USE:

• Read through the owner’s manual. Follow instructions CAREFULLY.

DURING USE:

• Keep fingers and hands away from score blades, perf blades, and rubber rollers.

BE ALERT! BE CAREFUL!

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The PERFMASTER DASH is a precision machine. It is very important to keep it free of excessive dust, dirt and foreign matter. We recommend that you keep the machine covered when not in use.

BEARINGS/BUSHINGS: The bearings are sealed roller bearings and are designed to be self lubricating, however dirt and dust can get into them causing clogging and dirt build up. It is recommended to oil them daily under heavy use or monthly under light use. The Bushings are Bronze and do require lubrication more frequently. Oil these once a week under heavy use.

RUBBER ROLLERS: These tend to harden when exposed, and in use, use “water to clean them before and after each use. This will increase the life and require less replacement. “Do not use Blanket Wash or Other Cleaners.”

REMOVEABLE SCREWS: When these show signs of wear or stripping, replace as soon as possible. If these strip or hollow out they can be costly to remove. If you do keep your Perfmaster DASH clean and in top condition, it will give you years of service.

PAPER STOP ASSEMBLIES

INSTALLING THE PAPER STOPS

There are 3 different paper stops. 2 will have bends and 1 will be straight. The straight paper stop is the rear or back paper stop. The other 2 are the right and left paper stops and should be positioned as shown below. They hold there position using a magnet which makes it easy for adjustment. The positions for the paper stops will change for each individual job. If the paper stops are set to close, the paper will hit them as it exits the machine and will cause a paper jam. If they are set too loose the paper will stack in an unorganized manner. Getting the position correct is imperative to smooth operation of the machine.

PERFORATING AND SCORING ASSEMBLIES

Replacing Worn Blades

1. Loosen the socket head cap screw to remove pressure from the pressure adjust mounting bracket.
2. Loosen the set screw and remove the pressure adjust mounting bracket.
3. Remove the button head cap screw that is retaining the score or perf blade.
4. Remove worn blade and replace with new blade. Attach new blade with existing button head cap screw and washer.
5. Reinstall pressure adjust mounting bracket on machine.
6. Position upper and lower score/perf assemblies as desired, making sure to align the upper and lower assembly.
7. Once the assemblies are aligned, tighten the set screw.
8. Reapply pressure to blade by tightening the socket head cap screw.

2. Align feed rails “check for squareness”. This can be checked by the lead edge of the paper feeding into the machine should line up with the front edge of the feed plate.
3. Not enough pressure on forwarding rollers.
4. Clean ALL rubber rollers.

PERF IS NOT STRAIGHT

1. Check for equal pressure on all grip wheels and that none are hanging up.
