1. Disconnect the air tool from the air line.
2. If required, to improve access to the workpiece, the head can be rotated through 360°. To do this,
loosen the Head Rotation lock screw and rotate the head. (See Fig.2)
3. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil to the airline connection
before use. Add a few drops more after each hour of continual use.
4. Make sure the material to be worked does not exceed the capacity for this Air Punch and Flange
tool: 1.2mm for sheet steel.
5. Ensure that the workpiece is marked out and secure.
6. Connect the air line to the tool.
7. Select to use either the Punch or Flange operation. (See Fig. 2)
To Punch:
Insert the edge of the workpiece between the Punch Die and the Punch. Make sure your
marks are aligned with the Punch Die.
Squeeze the Throttle Lever and the Punch will pierce the workpiece.
To Flange:
Insert the workpiece into the Flanging Jaw between the Anvil and the Clamp. Push the
workpiece all the way in until it is hard up against the back of both the Anvil and the Clamp.
Squeeze the throttle lever and the anvil will be driven against the clamp forming a flange.
(See Fig. 3)
8. If the tool requires more force to accomplish the task, verify that the tool receives sufficient,
unobstructed airflow (CFM) and increase the pressure (PSI) output of the regulator up to the
maximum air pressure rating of this tool.
CAUTION!
TO PREVENT INJURY FROM TOOL OR ACCESSORY FAILURE:
Do not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure rating. If the tool still does not have
sufficient force at maximum pressure and sufficient airflow, then a larger tool may be
required.
9. To prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position after use. Clean
external surfaces of the tool with clean, dry cloth, and apply a thin coat of tool oil, then store the
tool indoors out of children’s reach.
WARNING:
After disconnecting the Air Punch/Flange Tool from the air supply there could still be
enough air pressure to fire the Punch/Flange. After making sure the air supply is disconnected,
ALWAYS
fire the Punch/Flange repeatedly to make sure all air is bled from the tool.
