"Raise and block or remove all die rolls in slots in order to pass web between anvil (base) roll and die roll. If dies remain from previous jobs, they should be
removed before threading."
...I am unable to find any reference, could it be the roll that carries the die? (talking about die-cutting)

die-cutting roll
I think it is a roll that cuts dies, not a roll that applies dye.

1. A rotary air eject die-cutting assembly comprising: a die-cutting roll adapted for journaling in a die-cutting press and having a cylindrical cavity extending axially inwardly from one end thereof and a cutting element of closed configuration on its outside surface with at least one aperture extending from sai cavity to a location on said outside surface within the confines of said cutting element, said aperture enabling air flow between said cavity and said cutting element and comprising substantially the only outlet for air from said roll.

Yes, Jack has got it right, I just wanted to use an answer to expand a bit on his excellent explanation.
In die-cutting, the paper is squeezed between the die (sharp bits sticking out) and the anvil (plain, just for pressure) in order to partly (or fully) cut it (think of sheeted labels, perforations, round- or fancy-edged cards, items with cut-outs, etc.) --- in the case of a continuous, web press like the one you're clearly dealing with, the sharp 'die' is actually made rolled up in the form of a cylindrical 'sleeve' (specific for each job) that fits over a pressure roller (part of the machine), and it presses against an 'anvil' that is also in the form of a roller, as is of course required to allow continuous web operation.
