This is especially important for the punch and
die screws . Operating with these screws loose
will result in damage to the tool.
5.
Make a habit of lubricating the punch and die
with machine oil every time you use it.
CUTTING
1.
Do not attempt to cut sheet metal that is
beyond the maximum rated thickness for this
tool.
2.
Use cutting oil along the cut to be made. This
will ease cutting and increase punch and die
service life.However:take care that no oil
enters the motor vents.
3.
The die holder barrel has 3 detents which
allow it to be set in one of three positions: A, B,
or C.
4.
To change cutting direction ,loosen the socket
set screw locking the die holder. Turn die
holder to one of the 3 specified positions. Do
not attempt to position the punch holder at
odd angles.
