POCKET CUTTING
Before begining you must drill or punch a hole at
least 23mm in diameter.Then proceed to cut
pocket.
CUTTING CORRUGATED AND
TRAPEZOIDAL SHEET METAL
1.
Only use the side direction (B or C)when
cutting corrugated or trapezoidal sheet metal.
Do not attempt to use the foreward (A)
direction.
2.
Holding the tool firmly, cut while keeping the
die holder perpendicular to the shape of the
metal.
PUNCH AND DIE
The punch and die are wearing parts. Periodically
inspect their cutting surfaces. Wear will be
especially quick when cutting trapezoidal sheet
metal. When the punch's cutting edge becomes
rounded off due to abrasion, the punch and die
must be replaced. Always replace the punch and die
as a matched set.Attempting to use the tool with an
excessively worn punch and die will result in
inefficient operation and excessive stress on the die
holder c-section, causing it to break off.
PUNCH REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:Take care to avoid foreign material
from entering the gear case when replacing the
punch.
1.
Loosen the die holder locking screw (no.12)
and remove the die holder.
2.
Loosen the socket set screw that holds the
punch to the piston and remove the punch.
3.
Install new punch, making sure the hole in the
punch aligns with the piston set screw hole.
Tighten screw.
4.
Lubricate piston and punch.
5.
replace the die holder and tighten locking
