3. When using ¾" through 3" punch and die, thread the end of the ¾" draw stud
(Part #1582) with the shortest thread length into the ram until snug. (See Figure 1b.)
When using the ½" punch and die, thread the larger ¾" end of the
stud (Part #1581) directly into the ram until snug. (See Figure 1a.)
When using the 3½" and 4" punch and die, thread the 1
⁄
over the
3
" draw stud (Part #1582) until snug. The threaded end of the 1
4
adapter should face away from the ram. (See Figure 1c.)
4. Determine spacer(s) needed (if any) and install. (See Spacer Chart below.)
5. Slide the die onto the draw stud with the open end of the die facing away
from the ram.
6. Place the draw stud through the hole you drilled in step 2. Then thread the punch
onto the draw stud (or adapter) with the cutting face toward the material to be
punched. Thread the punch onto the draw stud until the punch, die and spacers
are snug against the material.
ALWAYS thread the punch COMPLETELY onto the draw stud (or adapter) to avoid
thread failure. If the punch tightens before it is completely threaded onto the draw
stud, disassemble the setup and determine the cause. Then reassemble the setup.
7. Complete the punching process by activating the hand pump.
(See hand pump operating instructions on page 9.)
• DO NOT continue to operate the pump after the ram completes the punch. Doing
so will damage the ram and could cause component failure resulting in serious
injury or death.
• If the ram motion stops before the punching process is completed, DO NOT
continue to operate the pump. Release the pump pressure and disassemble the
set-up and determine the cause before continuing.
• Be sure to support the weight of the ram while punching. An unsupported ram
could fall causing injury.
