Maintenance
1.
When not in use, store the punch in a clean, dry place. Maintain a light film of oil
on the punches and dies to prevent corrosion. Occasionally lubricate the hinges,
set screws and screw threads with light machine oil. Keep the rubberized
portions of the handles clean, dry, and grease-free.
2.
Use only punches and dies specifically designed for this tool.
3.
Over time the punches may become dull. Sharpen them using a low speed
method, such as dressing with a steel or oilstone. High-speed sharpeners may
overheat the tools, weakening them.
7.
To punch, position the tool over the material, with the edge of the material
protruding into the throat of the tool. Align the punch with the spot marked on
the work material.
8.
Using your hands, squeeze the Upper and Lower Handle (2 & 1) together, driving
the Punch through the work material. Release the pressure on the handles.
9.
Punched out material (chads) may lodge in the punch. Use a small drift pin,
such as a nail set to knock the chads out. Do not use a punch that is blocked
with chads, as it may not punch cleanly.
WARNING: Keep your fingers, hair and clothing away from the jaws and hinges
of this tool when in operation. Fingers or clothing may be caught and pulled in
causing personal injury.
NOTE: Never use any tool such as a clamp, jack or vice to squeeze the handles
together, as this will cause damage to the tool, and potentially cause personal
injury or property damage.
