TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
The hole punch tube should pass all the way through the material while just touching the top of
the anvil. This will ensure proper results and prevent damage to the tube. If you find the tube
sticks to material during punching, buffing or polishing the end of the tube should resolve the
issue. An anvil that has been heavily used may need replaced. When an anvil is worn, even
sharp tubes will have issues cutting through leather.
Problem:
Tube is too low
and could be damaged
Solution:
Turn adjust-
ment wheel clockwise
to raise hole punch
tube so it is just barely
touching anvil when
handle is pulled all the
way forward
Problem:
Tube is too high and not cutting all the way through material
Solution:
Turn adjustment wheel counterclockwise to lower tube so it is
barely touching anvil or check to make sure anvil isn’t heavily worn
The hole should pass entirely through your
material. If the tube is making too much
contact with the anvil, it means too much
pressure was applied, so the hole punch
tube will need to be raised by turning the
adjustment wheel clockwise. If the hole
punch tube is not cutting the entire way
through your material, turn the adjustment
wheel counterclockwise to lower the tube
until it is just barely touching the anvil.
