Lubricate the die sets - Lubricate the punch pins
Introduction
The die sets have a life expectancy of approximately 500,000 punched sheets. However, when
you lubricate the die sets on a regular basis, the life expectancy can increase. You must regularly
lubricate the following parts.
• The punch pins.
• The shoulder bolts and springs.
• The felt oil pad, if applicable.
Some die sets have a felt oil pad that must be lubricated. The following table indicates which
types of die set do or do not have a felt oil pad.
Types of die sets with and without a felt pad

44-, 47-Hole coil
When to do
• Lubricate the punch pins every 50,000 punched sheets.
• Lubricate the shoulder bolts and springs every 200,000 punched sheets.
Required tools
Use a high quality machine oil to lubricate the die sets.
IMPORTANT
Do not use an aerosol (spray) type of oil. This type of oil leaves a sticky residue on the pins and
attracts paper dust.
