The vibration level and noise emission value given in these
instructions have been measured in accordance with a
standardised measuring procedure and may be used to com-
pare power tools. They may also be used for a preliminary
estimation of vibration and noise emissions.
The stated vibration level and noise emission value repres-
ent the main applications of the power tool. However, if the
power tool is used for other applications, with different ap-
plication tools or is poorly maintained, the vibration level
and noise emission value may differ. This may significantly
increase the vibration and noise emissions over the total
working period.
To estimate vibration and noise emissions accurately, the
times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but
not actually being used should also be taken into account.
This may significantly reduce vibration and noise emissions
over the total working period.
Implement additional safety measures to protect the oper-
ator from the effects of vibration, such as servicing the
power tool and application tools, keeping their hands warm,
and organising workflows correctly.
Assembly
Auxiliary handle
Screw the auxiliary handle
(3)
into the thread
(6)
on the left-
or right-hand side of the housing.
You can use the handle holder
(2)
to extend the auxiliary
handle and reposition it at any angle for a safe work posture
that minimises fatigue.
If the auxiliary handle is already fitted, unscrew it from the
thread
(6)
. Use the screw
(1)
to screw the handle holder
(2)
in the thread at the required angle on the left- or right-hand
side of the housing. Screw the auxiliary handle into the nar-
rower end of the handle holder on the left- or right-hand side
accordingly.
If you attach the handle holder on the left-hand side of the
housing, make sure that it does not cover the on/off
switch
(5)
.
Operation
u
Products that are only sold in AUS and NZ:
Use a resid-
ual current device (RCD) with a nominal residual current
of 30 mA or less.
Starting Operation
u
Pay attention to the mains voltage. The voltage of the
power source must match the voltage specified on the
rating plate of the power tool. Power tools marked
with 230 V can also be operated with 220 V.
Adjusting the hold-down device
Adjusting the hold-down device
(12)
to the thickness of the
sheet being cut eliminates vibrations.
Hold the power tool so that the die
(14)
touches the under-
side of the sheet to be cut. Loosen the screws
(13)
on the
hold-down device. Push the hold-down device
(12)
onto the
sheet, leaving a little clearance (approx. 0.3 mm). Make sure
that the hold-down device is straight and not at an angle.
Retighten the screws
(13)
.
Switching On and Off
To
switch on
the power tool, slide the on/off switch
(5)
for-
wards so that
I
appears on the switch.
To
lock
the on/off switch
(5)
, push down on the front of the
switch as well.
To
switch off
the power tool, release the on/off switch
(5)
.
When the on/off switch is locked, press down on the back of
the switch and then release it.
Working Advice
u
Pull the plug out of the socket before carrying out any
work on the power tool.
u
This power tool is not suitable for bench-mounted use.
It must not be clamped into a vice or fastened to a work-
bench, for example.
u
Wear protective gloves during work and pay particu-
lar attention to the cord.
Sharp burrs develop on the cut
sheets; these can cause injury or damage the cord.
u
Exercise caution when handling the cutting chips.
The
chips have sharp tips that can cause injuries.
Apply the power tool to the workpiece only when switched
on. Always hold the power tool vertical to the surface of the
steel sheet and do not tilt it.
The cut is made as the punch moves downwards. Guide the
power tool evenly, pushing it gently in the cutting direction.
Applying too much pressure to the power tool will signific-
antly reduce the service life of application tools and can
damage the power tool.
The power tool operates more quietly when it is raised
slightly during cutting. If the punch jams during cutting,
switch the power tool off, lubricate the punch and release
the sheet. Do not use force to do this, as this will damage the
punch and the die.
Maximum steel sheet cutting capacity
The maximum steel sheet cutting capacity d
max
depends on
the strength properties of the material to be cut.
The power tool allows for cutting of metal sheet to the follow-
ing thicknesses:

Lubricating/cooling the punch
To extend the service life of the punch
(10)
, a lubricating
agent with good cooling properties (e.g. cutting oil) should
be used.
