SLITTER HEAD: Slitting is accomplished by removable blades held in the head by pressure from the
outboard locking screw. To insert blades, loosen the locking screw and position the spacers as
required and insert the blades in the groove. Also insert a blade at the inside end of the spacers where
it will serve as an edge guide. Tighten the locking screw. The blades may also be cut in two and
inserted vertical to the web.
When slitting paper, the web normally slides across the top edge of the slitting head. When slitting
pressure-sensitive tape, the head should be adjusted downward to provide 1/16" clearance between
the head and the web. Vertically mounted blades can be used on this operation.
