Operating Controls
Note: The LS60 is equipped with a microprocessor
to control the operation. It automatically
shuts off if punching does not begin within
1.5 seconds after pulling the trigger. This
guarantees the entire stroke is available for
punching and saves power.
1.
Select the punch, die and draw stud that will make
the appropriate size hole. See illustrations on
following pages.
2.
Determine and mark the exact location for the hole.
Use a Greenlee Kwik-Stepper
®
drill bit to drill a hole
that is slightly larger than the draw stud. This is the
pilot hole.
3.
Push the retract button and hold the button until the
ram is completely retracted.
4.
Thread the 3/4" draw stud or 3/4" adapter com-
pletely into the punch driver. See illustrations on
following pages.
Note: For a punch and die with a 3/8" center hole,
thread the 3/8" draw stud into the end of the
3/4" adapter.
5.
Install a spacer, if necessary. See illustrations on
following pages.
6.
Slide the die over the draw stud with the open end
of the die facing away from the punch driver.
7.
Insert the draw stud through the pilot hole.
8.
Thread the punch onto the draw stud with the
cutting surfaces of the punch facing the material.
Tighten the punch by hand until the spacer, die,
material and punch contact each other.
Note: All of the punch threads must be engaged
by the draw stud threads. If any of the punch
threads are not engaged, disassemble the
setup, remove the spacer and reassemble
the setup.
9.
Release the trigger lock and pull the trigger. The
LS60 will automatically shut off when it senses that
the punch is completely through the material.
This tool is not designed for continuous use.
Continuous use will cause tool and battery to
overheat. After 40 continuous punching cycles,
allow the punch driver and battery to cool for 15
minutes.
Release the trigger when the punch completes
the hole. The LS60 may not sense when a hole
is made in sheets thinner than 18ga (1 mm) and
soft materials (such as plastic, etc.)
Note: A “popping” sound indicates that the LS60
has reached relief pressure. This may
indicate that the operation attempted is
beyond the capacity of the tool.
10. Release the trigger. Push the retract button until the
ram is fully retracted. Return the trigger lock to the
locked position.
11. Unscrew the punch. Remove slugs from the die.
Remove the spacer and unscrew the draw stud.
