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.
