Operating Instructions
HYDRAULIC OPERATION
Step 1
Determine the location for the cutout on your panel and drill a 1-1/8” diameter
pilot hole in the center of the desired opening.
Step 2
Assemble the punch unit as shown in figure 4, by threading the short thread-
ed end of the Draw Stud into the Hydraulic Ram. Then pass the Draw Stud
through the Die (black portion up against the panel) and then the pilot hole
in the panel. On the other side of the panel, slide the Punch over the Draw
Stud and screw on the Counter Nut. Using the alignment marks to square
the die with the panel, firmly hand tighten the Counter Nut until all compo-
nents are tightly secured as shown in figure 5.
Step 3
Using an 11/64”, size 18, or 4.3mm drill bit, drill out the four mounting screw
holes. Operate the hydraulic drive (not shown). This will pull the Draw Stud
into the Hydraulic Ram, and the Punch through the panel and into the Die,
completing the punching operation (figure 6).
Step 4
Remove and disassemble the punch unit. The black and silver parts of the
Die can be slid apart slightly to allow the panel slug to be easily removed and
discarded.
