OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.
Read the entire SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual
including all text under subheadings therein before using this product.
Use this tool for the manufacture’s intended purpose only. Use other than that which is
described in this manual can result injury or property damage.
1.
Select the appropriate punch die set. Ask an authorized facility or distributor to
choose proper punch die set for hole punching.
Do not exceed the rated capacity of this tool, otherwise it will
caused a component failure, which could throw broken parts
with great force. Failure to observe this warning can
result injury or death.
2.
Drill a pilot hole 1/2” diameter with an electric or cordless drill on the metal sheet.
3.
Turn the turn screw counterclockwise to fully extend the ram
4.
Thread the draw stud completely into the ram.
5.
Slide the spacer in necessary onto the draw stud, and the die after, then let the metal
sheet go through the draw stud by the hole. Finally, thread the punch facing the steel
plate. Make sure the spacer, punch, die and material are tightly aligned.
An improper setup could cause the components damage.
Do not operate the pump after ram motion stops. Continuing
to operate the pump lever after the ram stops will damage the
ram. If the ram stops before the hole is complete, stop
pumping, check that the setup is correct and that you have
not exceeded the tool’s capacity. See the setup instruction. If
necessary, disassemble the setup and add or remove the
spacer.
6.
Pump the handle lever until completely punched through.
Make sure the punching operation is completed to avoid the scrap
remaining the lower half of the punch.
7.
Turn the screw counterclockwise to release the pressure at the pump.
Step-up Punching
The 1/2” conduit-size punch is often used to increase the size of the pilot hole, this is
called “step-up punching.” After enlarging the pilot hole, the 3/4” draw stud is used to
punch the final hole.
Do not allow anyone to stand in front of the punch or behind the hydraulic ram.
Ignoring this warning can result in injury or damage.
