Safety instructions for Cordless
Hole Puncher
1.
Proper selection of the punch and the die is
essential. Select the correct punch and die
according to the hole shape, size of hole,
workpiece thickness and material type.
2.
Ensure that any punch with stepped edge,
which prevents free rotation, is installed cor-
rectly in the punch piston before tightening the
punch retaining nut.
3.
For punching channel-shaped workpiece and
the workpiece made of stainless steel, use the
die provided exclusively for these materials.
Only select the combination of the punch
and die that is suitable for the workpiece
thickness.
4.
Ensure the punch and the die are firmly fixed
in position with the nut or the bolt.
Failure to
do so may cause serious damage to your tool
and serious personal injury. Regularly check and
tighten the punch and die.
5.
The tool is electro-hydraulic. When the tem-
perature is cold, it should be run for a few
minutes at idle before starting operations.
6.
Keep face, hands and other parts of your body
away from the punching area during operation.
7.
Remove the battery cartridge before changing
the punch and the die or when servicing or
making adjustments.
8.
The punch and the die that become worn,
deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any
way may cause a tool breakdown and a seri-
ous accident. Replace them immediately with
new ones supplied from Makita.
9.
When punching stainless steel, the punch
and die may wear earlier than punching softer
materials. Ensure that the punch and die are
in good condition, free from wear and are not
deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any
way. Check with your dealer before punching
any material not listed in the specifications.
10.
Remove and check the carbon brushes reg-
ularly. Replace them after 200 times of use.
Carbon brushes with a length of about 6 mm or
less may cause damage to the motor.
11.
When using the tool continuously, its tempera-
ture can exceed 70 °C which may cause lower
performance. In this case, stop operating for
about 1 hour to allow the tool to cool down
before using it again.
12.
Do not cover or clog the motor air vents as this
may cause the motor to overheat, resulting in
smoke, fire and explosion.
