7.1

Cutting direction

The discharge opening faces forwards when the die
(8) is in normal position.
When making cuts to one side (left or right), the
punch guide (6) (and the die (8)) can be turned 90°
to either side by loosening the grub screw (3).
After turning the punch guide (and die), screw in the
grub screw (3) until the tip engages in the
counterbore in the top (cylindrical) section of the
punch guide (6).
7.2 Dipping depth of the punch
You can move the punch (7) up and down
by turning the spigot on the eccentric shaft
(insert the screwdriver in the slot (4) on the spigot).
Correct dipping depth:
The punch (7) should dip into the die (8) as far as
possible when in the lowest position.
When in the highest position, the punch should
not protrude beyond the lower end of the punch
guide (6).
Adjust the dipping depth, if necessary:
- Unscrew the grub screw (3) on the back of the
housing (5).
- Turn the punch guide (6) (only full turns). If the
dipping depth is insufficient: turn anticlockwise.
