Notes!
To ensure that the tool works optimally, install an oiler, regulator and inlet filter as shown in
Fig. 1. Please note that the oiler, regulator and filter are not included in the scope of delivery.
If not using an automatic oil system as shown in Fig. 1, add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil
(not included) to the air line connection. Add a few more drops after every hour of continuous
use.
Prepare a ¼” air connection (not included) by wrapping tape around the thread before con-
necting it to the air inlet
(19)
in the bottom of the device. Insert the air hose from your com-
pressor into the device at the air inlet
(19).
Set the air pressure on your compressor. Do not exceed 6.2 bar (90 psi).
Periodically check the air connections to ensure that they remain secure.
Operation
Punching
1.
Warning!
Always wear thick work gloves when working with sheet metal. Sharp edges can
cause serious injuries. Also wear protective goggles.
2. Mark the desired position of each hole that you want to punch on the workpiece.
Note!
If the workpiece is to be both punched and flanged, first flange it and then measure the hole loc-
ations. Flanging changes the dimensions of the workpiece.
3. Connect the air punch to the air supply. Do not exceed 6.2 bar (90 psi).
4. Insert the edge of the workpiece between the punch die
(3)
and the punch
(6).
Make sure that
your markings are aligned with the punch die
(3).
5. Press the throttle
(20)
and the punch
(6)
will punch the workpiece.
6. Align the tool with the next mark on the workpiece and repeat step 5 until the process is com-
plete.
7. Disconnect the device from the air supply.
Warning!
After the device has been disconnected from the air supply, there may still be enough air
pressure to trigger it. After verifying that the air supply is off, operate the device several times to en-
sure that all of the air is released from the tool.
Flanging
1.
Warning!
Always wear thick work gloves when working with sheet metal. Sharp edges can
cause serious injuries. Also wear protective goggles.
2. Measure the workpiece and cut it to the correct dimensions.
3. Connect the air punch to the air supply. Do not exceed 6.2 bar (90 psi).
4. Secure the workpiece in a vice or other suitable clamping device.
5. Insert the workpiece into the flange jaw between the anvil
(9)
and the clamp
(1).
Make sure
that it is completely flush with the back of the anvil
(9)
and the clamp
(1).
Press the
throttle
(20);
this presses the anvil
(9)
against the clamp
(1),
and a flange is formed.
6. Release the throttle
(20).
Continue sliding the tool along the edge of the workpiece until the
anvil
(9)
and clamp
(1)
are right next to the part of the workpiece just flanged. Repeat step 5.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until the entire length that you want to flange is finished.
8. Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
Warning!
After the device has been disconnected from the air supply, there may still be enough air
pressure to trigger it. After verifying that the air supply is off, operate the device several times to en-
sure that all of the air is released from the tool.
