Punching Preparation and Punching Process

Only insert the rechargeable battery into the power tool just before starting the punching process. If, for example, you inadvertently press the on/off button (9) during the preparations for punching, there is a risk of injury.

Do not operate the power tool without inserting the punching tool or without sheet metal between the die and the punch.

In order to prevent the power tool from overheating, do not use the power tool in continuous operation for more than 15 min.

Punching preparation:

Drill a hole in the sheet metal that is approx. 0.5 mm larger than the diameter of the mounted tension bolt (10) (e.g. with a step drill).
Insert the tension bolt through the pre-drilled hole. Turn or swivel the punching head (1) so that the die (12) is flat on the sheet metal.
Screw the punch (13) that matches the mounted die onto the tension bolt until it rests against the sheet metal with slight pressure.

Punching process:

Insert the rechargeable battery into the power tool.
To switch on and start the punching process, press and hold the on/off button (9). The worklight (7) lights up.
Once the power tool has detected a complete punching operation, the tension bolt (10) retracts with the punch (13) and the motor switches off automatically. Release the on/off button (9). The worklight will go out automatically after approx. 10 s.

End the punching process manually:

To end the punching process prematurely, release the on/off button (9) during the punching process. The punching process stops.
If the punching process is stopped prematurely or if the tension bolt (10) does not retract automatically after the end of the punching process, press the reset button (2). Press and hold the reset button until the tension bolt has returned to its starting position.

Remove the battery from the power tool. Unscrew the punch (13) from the tension bolt and remove the punch remnant from the die (12).

If the status indicator (3) lights up green at the end of the punching process, the maximum pressure has been reached and a full punching operation is detected. If the punching was not successful, the status indicator lights up red.
