MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and
•
unplugged before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance.

•
like. Discoloration, deformation or cracks may
result.
Punch & die service life
Replace or sharpen punch and die after cutting the
lengths indicated in the accompanying table. Their life, of
course, depends upon the thickness of materials cut and
lubrication conditions.
Punch

Die
Sharpen after 300 m (984 ft.) of 3.2 mm (1/8") steel sheet
006440
When cutting is poor even after replacing the punch,
sharpen the die. Grind down the dull edge shown in the
figure using a grinder. After rough-grinding the dull
portion, finish with a dressing stone. Stock removal
should be about 0.3 to 0.4 mm (1/64").

When installing ground die, a clearance of 3.5 to 4.0 mm
(1/8" to 5/32") should be obtained by attaching one or two
of the washer provided, as shown in the figure. Failure to
have the proper clearance will result in vibration during
cutting.
