1.0 INTRODUCTION
Your new 714 Friction Feed Folder has been designed to give you many years of useful service provided it is
installed, maintained, and operated according to the instructions in this manual.
Your 714 Friction is a unique and versatile paper folding machine, capable of folding paper measuring between 3 x 5
inches(7.6 x 12.7 cm) and 14x 20 inches (35.5 x 50.8cm). The 714 Friction will make six typesof folds: single fold, letter
fold, fan fold, French fold, double-parallel fold and a double letter fold, with a few simple settings. (Note: The French fold
and double-letter fold requires either two passes or the use of a right-angle unit).
Your 714 Friction is built rigid enough to ensure years of trouble-free performance, and at the same time, is compact
enough to fit on any table or desk. It is portable so it can be moved anywhere it is needed.

Do not plug the power cord into anAC outlet until
the 714 Friction is fully assembled, adjusted and ready to
use. Unplug the 714 Friction any time disassembly is
required.
4.0 ASSEMBLY
4.1 Main Unit
To assemble the 714 Friction unit, first remove the
four bolts holding it to the skid. Place the folder on the
stand (See Figure 4.1-1).
4.2SlitterShaft Installation
To install the slitter shaft, hold it with the grooves in
the boxings down. Be sure the slitter shafts are free
turning.
Insert the slitter shaft and seat the grooves in the
boxings on the lower locating pins in the side frames. (See
Figure4.2-1)
Check for proper gear engagement between the upper
slitter shaft gear and the 19-tooth frame idler gear by
turning the handwheel.

properly meshed.
4.5FoldPlateInstallation
WARNING
Unplug theAC power cord when installing or
removing fold plates.
The fold plates are marked #1 and #2 and are not
interchangeable. The #1 fold plate is installed in the top
position, the #2 fold plate in the lower position.
Each fold plate has an open end which faces toward
the fold rolls.
To install the fold plates, pivot the fold plate hold-
downs out of the way and slide the fold plate in position
so that the slots in the leading edge of the fold plate
engage the two locating pins in the side frames. (See
Figure4.5-1)
The center notches should seat on the second set of
locating pins. Pivot the fold plate hold-downs back into
position to secure the fold plates.
Turn the handwheel to be sure that the fold plates are
properly installed and not rubbing on the fold rolls.

5.0 ELECTRICAL ACCESS
WARNING
Unplug theAC power cord before attempting any
electrical repair.
The motor speed control is located under the left-
hand side cover. The handwheel must be removed for
access to these controls.
The cover can be removed by taking out the four
screws located on the inside of the frame.
6.0 SETUP
6.1 Setting The Controls
The operator controls are conveniently located on a
control panel on the left-hand side of the 714 Friction.
These controls consist of an On/Off power switch,
which is an overload reset, and a speed control
potentiometer.
Set these initially at:
A) Power Switch Off position
B) Speed Control “0” position
6.2 Determining Paper Size and Type of Fold
The next step is to determine the paper size and type
of fold to be made, following the steps below:
A) Measure a sample sheet of the job to be run to
determine its size. Retain this information for later use.
B) Refer to the printed chart on the stacker tray (See
Figure 6.2-1) and locate the type of fold that you want to
make. (Example: letter fold)
C) Locate on the chart the columns corresponding
to the sheet size measured in StepA. (Example: 8 1/
2x11)
D) Locate the point on the chart where the columns
for the type of fold and the sheet size intersect. You will
notice that there are either two letters or a dash and a
letter. These letters and/or dash tell you where to set the
paper stop on the fold plate, and whether or not one of the
fold plates will be installed in the deflector position.
Example #1 ; To make a letter fold to an 8 1/2 x11
sheet, set the paper stops for the #1 and #2 fold plates on
the letter E. No dash appears, so neither fold plate is
installed in the deflector position.
Example #2: To make a single fold to an 8 1/2x11
sheet, install the #2 fold plate in the deflector position.
Set the paper stop for the #1 fold plate at the letter K.
6.3 Paper Stop Adjustment
To move the paper stops to the correct position as
determined in step #2, depress the coarse adjustment
knobs on the paper stop and slide the paper stop until the
indicating edge is aligned with the proper letter on the fold
plate. (See Figure 6.3-1)
To obtain an exact setting on the paper stops, turn
the micro-adjustment knobs until the indicating edge of
the paper stop is perfectly aligned with the line adjacent to
the letter on the plate.
Figure 6.3-1

TP10449 PAGE8
Figure 6.2-1
6.4FeedTableAdjustment
On the paper feed table there are two guides which
keep the stack of paper properly aligned for feeding into
the folder. Adjust these guides to correspond with the
different widths of paper being fed. (See Figure 6.4-1)
To adjust the paper feed guides, loosen the two side
guide locking knobs on each guide. Slide the guides from
side to side until the insideedge of each guide is aligned
with the number corresponding to the width of the paper
being folded.
Example: For an 8 1/2-in wide sheet, move the side
guides until the inside edges align with the “8 1/2” on the
feed table.
An additional check is to lay a sheet of paper on the
feeder, close to but not touching the side guides. Push the
sheet down into the nip of the fold rolls. Then align the
guide by loosening the adjusting knobs and aligning the
guide so that it is parallel to the edge of the paper. When
one side is square, the other side can be moved into
position.
Tighten the locking knobs to secure the paper guides
in position.
When you load the actual job, you may have to
move these guides slightly to take care of variations in
sheet size. To feed properly, the paper must slide freely
between these guides.

7.0 OPERATION
7.1 Loading of Feed Table
Before you can load the paper on the feed table, you
must determine which way the paper is to be loaded by
running a few sample sheets. (Example: printing face up
or face down)
Then you can load a stack of paper no higher than
two inches between the paper feed guides. Let the stack
slide freely down into position between the side guides.

PAGE9 TP10449
7.2 Check Squareness of Fold
Examine the folded sheets on the stacker to make
sure that you are getting an even and square fold.
There is a skew adjustment on each plate to adjust
for a square fold on paper that is not cut square (See
figure6.4-1).
7.3 Use of Handwheel
The handwheel is used to help clear jams and for
setup. To use the handwheel, shut off the folder, pull out
the handwheel and turn it in either direction.
8.0 PERFORATING, SCORING
& SLITTING
Inadditiontofolding,your714Friction canperforate,
score and slit.
WARNING
Be careful when handling perforator and slitting
blades. They are extremely sharp.
8.1 Perforating
The 714 Friction can be used to perforate either the
folded sheet (to assist in making a right-angle fold) or to
perforate sheets delivered flat. BAUMFOLDER supplies
one standard 41-tooth perforator blade. Additional
perforator blades are available through the
BAUMFOLDERParts Department.
The perforator blade should be mounted loosely to
the blade holder with the retainer collar to give better
support to the perforator blade. Always be sure that the
flat side of the blade is against the blade holder. Loosen
the brass-tipped set screws in the perforator collar and
blade holder before attempting to place them on the slitter
shafts.
Figure 8.1-1
The perforating blade holder assembly is then slid
onto the upper slitter shaft along with the necessary pull-
out tire assemblies. Then tighten the screws holding the
perforator blade to the blade holder, aligning the blade to
the holder. This allows for free horizontal movement on
the shaft.
Slide the grooved perforator collar onto the lower
slitter shaft along with the other pull-out tire assemblies.
The flat side of the perforator blade should just touch the
side of the groove in the perforator collar. (See Figure
8.1-1)
Figure 8.1-2
TOP SHAFT
TOP SHAFT
Slide the perforator collar and blade holder to the
desired position on the slitter shaft. Then lock the blade
holder and perforator collar into position with the brass-
tipped set screw.
The perforator stripper fits onto the slitter shaft bar
in between or next to the perforating blade. (See Figure
8.1-2) This strips the paper off for delivery and prevents
it from wrapping around the perforator blade.

TP10449 PAGE10
8.2 Scoring
The 714 Friction can be used to score a sheet and
deliver it flat, or to score a sheet after a fold or folds have
been made.
To ensure accuracy in making right-angle folds,
always score the sheet where the fold is to be made. This
applies in all instances when a perforator cannot be used.
Attach the scoring blade loosely to the blade holder
for mounting on the slitter shaft. Scoring blades can be
mounted on either the upper or lower slitter shaft. Once
on the shaft, tighten the screws, aligning both the blade
and the collar. This allows free horizontal movement on
the shaft. Scoring blades should be placed so that the fold
will be made with rather than against the scoring, or, in a
continuing direction to the pressure of the crease that has
been applied by the scoring blade.
Figure 8.2-1
For a wide, well-rounded score, use the two steel
scoring collars. (See Figure 8.2-1) Sharpness and the
depth of the score can be controlled by regulating the
distance the collars are placed away from the scoring
blade.
The scoring collars can also be placed on either side
of the rubber scoring collar. The two collars can be
compressed against the rubber collar, causing the rubber
to bulge up for a deeper score. (See Figure 8.2-2)
Figure 8.2-2
TOP SHAFT

8.3 Slitting
NOTE: Slitting accessories are optional on your 714
Friction and can be ordered from your BAUMFOLDER
Parts Department.
The 714 Friction can be used to cut folded or flat
sheets apart. The general setup for blades and collars is
shown in (Figure 8.3.1). Two or more cuts may be made if
duplicate sets of cutters are used.
Figure 8.3.-1
TOP SHAFT
Use care in mounting slitter blades to the collars in
order to avoid ragged edges during slitting operations.
Ragged edges can be caused by two conditions:
1) Nicks or burrs on the collars or blades. Remove
carefully by filing or using a fine piece of emery cloth.
2) Incorrect mounting of blades caused by tightening
with the wrong type of screw. Always use flat head screws
on the side of the blade and blade holder collar, which are
countersunk.
