Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating. Distractions can
cause you to lose control. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may
result in serious personal injury.
2.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Throttle Lever (20) is NOT depressed
before attaching to air supply. Carrying the tool with your finger on the Throttle
Lever (20) invites accidents.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Nonskid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate conditions. Always wear
ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves when using or performing maintenance on this tool.

Tool Use And Care
1.

Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
work piece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body
is unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use the tool if the Throttle Lever (20) does not turn it on or off.

Disconnect the air supply before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the Air Punch/Flange Tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.

Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. This
Air Punch/Flange Tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Never allow
children to come in contact with this product.

Maintain tools with care. Keep the Air Punch/Flange Tool clean. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged
tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced by a qualified technician before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

Operation Instructions
PUNCHING
1.

WARNING: Always wear heavy-duty leather gloves when handling sheet
metal. Sharp edges can cause severe injury. Always wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles.

Pre-mark the desired location of each hole you wish to punch on the workpiece.

NOTE: If the workpiece is to be both punched and flanged, flange it first, then measure for
the hole placement. Flanging will change the dimensions of the workpiece.
3.

Connect the Air Punch/Flange Tool to your air supply. Do not exceed 90 PSI.

Insert the edge of the workpiece between the Punch Die (3) and the Punch (6).
Make sure your marks are aligned with the Punch Die (3).

Squeeze the Throttle Lever (20) and the Punch (6) will pierce the workpiece.

Align the tool with the next mark on the workpiece and repeat step 5 until the job
is finished.

Disconnect the air supply.

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.

FLANGING
1.

WARNING: Always wear heavy-duty leather gloves when handling sheet
metal. Sharp edges can cause severe injury. Always wear ANSI-approved safety
goggles.

Measure and cut the workpiece to the correct dimensions.

Connect the Air Punch/Flange Tool to your air supply. Do not exceed 90 PSI.

Secure the workpiece in a vise or use another appropriate clamping method.

Insert the workpiece into the flanging jaw between the Anvil (9) and the Clamp (1).
Make sure the workpiece is all the way flush against the back of both the Anvil (9)
and the Clamp (1). Squeeze the Throttle Lever (20) and the Anvil (9) will be driven
against the Clamp (1) forming a flange.

Release the Throttle Lever (20). Slide the tool along the edge of the workpiece to
where the Anvil (9) and the Clamp (1) overlap part of the workpiece you just flanged.
Repeat step 5.
