Ensure that the tension bolt, spacer bushing, die and punch are clean and in perfect technical condition.

Lightly grease the threads of the tension bolt (10) (grease tube: 1 615 430 010). Screw the tension bolt (10) into the punching head (1).

First place the appropriate spacer bushing (11) and then the die (12) onto the tension bolt.

Note: For smaller thread sizes (in accordance with the specifications in the table), the appropriate spacer bushing (11) must be used. However, their use is also recommended for larger thread sizes, as the spacer bushing shortens the working path and thus the punching process.
