The FD 90 is designed to perforate paper only with specifications noted above. • DO NOT use the FD 90 to perforate metal foil, tin sheets or similar material. • Be sure all covers are in place and secure before operation.
DESCRIPTION The FD 90 Electric Rotary Perforator is designed to perforate sheets allowing for easy separation. The friction feeding system can perforate up to 113 sheets per minute, and can create up to 5 parallel perforations in a single pass (two per- forating tools included).
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION After unpacking the FD 90, place it on a solid surface and slide the infeed table into the machine and secure with enclosed screws. Connect the male part of the cable into the female part of the connector that is located on the inside of the left side cover of the machine.
Outfeed table adjustment Adjust the output table (2) by sliding the table outward, depending on the size of the sheet being processed. For easier stacking of larger sheets attach the bridge (11) and magnetic side guides (10). These facilitate sheet stacking and substantially reduce paper jamming.

Replacing & Adjusting Perforating Tools or Creasing Wheels (cont.) NOTE: Always put indented cutting tools on the upper shaft (20). Place the tools (21, 27) on the shaft in a mirroring way starting from the center of the shaft. An odd pair of tools must always be oriented according to the half of the adjusted sheet on which that pair of tools is placed.
Removing Perforating and/or Creasing Wheels To remove the perforating wheels or the creasing wheel, first remove the shaft with the blade guides then remove the shaft with the perforating wheels. Remove the shaft by holding the bearing (29) and pulling it over the spring into the terminal position. Then push the whole shaft back including the bearing, and remove the shaft from the machine as shown below.
