Operation
1.
Select the Punch and Die size appropriate for your job. Make sure that the
thickness of the work material does not exceed the recommended gauge for
the hole size.
Warning: Only use Punches and Dies of the same size together. Use of mismatched
tools will cause damage to the tools and the work material.
2.
Use a 3/32 hex driver (not included)
to loosen both Hex Studs (10), so
that they will not interfere with the
insertion of the punch and die onto
the tool.
3.
Insert the selected punch into the
same sized die. With the handles
closed, insert the punch and die
combination into the lower jaw, as
shown in the photo. Using the Key
(13), thread the die all the way into
the lower jaw until it stops. Using a
3/32 hex driver (not included), tighten both Hex Studs (10).
4.
If you plan to make a row of holes a uniform distance from the edge of the work
material, set the Gauge (6) to the proper depth, and set it in place by tightening
the Screw (9) with the Key (13).
5.
Carefully measure the desired position of the holes, and mark these positions
with a marker pen or scratch awl.
WARNING: The edges of sheet metal are often very sharp. Always use gloves
when handling sheet metal to prevent personal injury.
6.
Before punching, it is a good idea to punch a test hole in a piece of scrap
material.
