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 create a distance between Blade and Roller.

CAUTION：
Roller Fixing Screw must be fixed at the position where Transportation Shaft has
flat spot. Otherwise, the Blade Receipt Roller will not be fixed to the Shaft and
the Roller may be damaged.

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 page 13, how to add another perforating unit.

NOTE：
Scale graduation and Blade Position Reference are for guidance only. To perforate at
the accurate position, use fine adjustment mechanism. Refer page 8, fine adjustment
of perforating blade location.

3.2 Trial Perforation

(1) To activate Perforation Unit, turn on the Power Switch while pressing the SELECT

Key. Release the Key as “PERFORATION MODE LAMP” is illuminated.

To operate with normal Folding Mode, Turn power switch off. Install Folding
Table and connect Folding Table Plug to Machine. Then, turn on Power Switch.

CAUTION：
When the machine is turned on, it automatically sets for medium running speed.
Use the machine middle to lower speed. For perforation/scoring, machine is
designed to be used at middle to lower speed to avoid possibility of tearing the
perforating paper.

(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.
