To install the punch, insert it into the punch holder with its cutting edge facing forward so that the pin in the punch holder fits into the groove in the punch. Install the screw and lock nut. Then tighten them securely.

NOTE:

•When installing the screw and lock nut, be sure to tighten securely. If they become loose during operation, the tool may break down.

Smooth cutting is achieved by holding the tool upright and applying gentle pressure in the cutting direction. Apply tool oil to the punch about every 10 meters (32.8 feet) of mild steel or stainless steel to be cut. Light oil or kerosene should be used to keep an aluminum lubricated continuously. Failure to lubricate aluminum in the cut will cause chips to adhere to the tool, dulling the die and punch and increasing load on the motor.
