Setup and Operation
Punching
Note: The LS100L is a microprocessor-controlled
hydraulic punching tool with an automatic shut-off
feature that will engage after 1 second of operation, if
no punching begins. This feature saves power and helps
insure the full stroke is available for punching.
1. Refer to the illustrations on the following pages for
proper punch, die, spacer, and draw stud setup and
assembly.
2. Select the appropriate punch, die, and draw stud for
the desired hole size.
3. Determine and mark the exact location for the hole.
Use a Greenlee Kwik-Stepper
®
step bit to drill a pilot
hole slightly larger than the draw stud being used.
4. Depress the Return button to reset the ram to the
starting position.
5. Thread the appropriate draw stud completely into
the ram in the punching head.
6. If needed, place an appropriately sized spacer on
the draw stud.
7. Slide the corresponding die onto the draw stud.
The open end of the die should face away from the
punching head.
8. Insert the draw stud through the pilot hole in the
material being punched.
9. Thread the punch (cutting edge facing the material)
onto the draw stud until the punch assembly is tight
on the material surface.
Note:
•
The 3-1/2" to 6" punches require a punch sleeve
prior to assembly to the draw stud.
•
All of the punch threads must be engaged with
the draw stud threads. If any punch threads are
not engaged, remove spacer and reassemble the
setup.
•
For SPEED PUNCH
®
, slide the punch onto the
draw stud (cutting edge facing the material) and
secure the SPEED LOCK to the draw stud.
10. Press and hold the trigger to complete the punch
cycle. The LS100L will automatically shut off when
it senses the punch is completely through the
material.
• Release the trigger manually after the punch com-
pletes the hole in sheet metals thinner than 18 ga.
(1 mm) and soft materials such as plastic.
• If overpressure is reached during the punch cycle,
the tool will automatically shut off and return the
ram to the starting position. This may indicate the
operation attempted is beyond the capacity of the
tool. The overpressure condition will also occur
when the tool reaches full stroke. (Care should be
taken to avoid driving the LS100L to full stroke, as
this may cause damage to the punch and die).
11. After the punch cycle is complete, depress the
Return button to reset the ram to the starting posi-
tion. This operation should be performed after every
punch cycle.
Note: Depressing the Return button at any time
during the punch cycle will reset the ram to the start-
ing position.
12. Unscrew the punch from the draw stud. Slide the die
off the draw stud and remove any slugs from the die.
Note: For SPEED PUNCH
®
, remove the SPEED
LOCK. Slide the punch off the draw stud; then slide
the die off the draw stud and remove any slugs from
the die.
