GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the
warnings and instructions may result in
electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings
refers to your mainsoperated (corded) power tool or
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
1) WORK AREA SAFETY
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered
or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while
operating a power tool. Distractions can
cause you to lose control.
2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a. Power tool plugs must match the outlet.
Never modify the plug in any way. Do not
use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b. Avoid body contact with earthed or
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
c. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
d. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
for carrying, pulling or unplugging the
power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil,
sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or
entangled cords increase the risk of electric
shock.
e. When operating a power tool outdoors, use
an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces
the risk of electric shock.
f. If operating a power tool in a damp
location is unavoidable, use an earth
leakage circuit breaker. Use of an earth
leakage circuit breaker reduces the risk of
electric shock.
3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a. a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.
b. b) Use personal protective equipment.
Always wear eye protection. Protective
equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
c. Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the
switch is in the off-position before
connecting to power source and/or battery
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the power tool on. A wrench
or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
g. If devices are provided for the connection
of dust extraction and collection facilities,

4
ensure these are connected and properly used.
Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct
power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the power tool if the switch does
not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source
and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce
the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d. Store idle power tools out of the reach of
children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
e. Maintain power tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition
that may affect the power tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to bind and are easier to
control.
g. Use the power tool, accessories and tool
bits etc., in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.

SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS:
1. BEWARE:The nibbler leaves a very sharp edge
on the workpiece.do not handle the edge with
your bare hands.
2. Ensure that the power cord is not cut or
damaged on the sharp edge.
3. Take care that no metal chips get inside the
tool.
4. Never touch the metal chips with your bare
hands.They are sharp and extremely hot just
after cutting.
APPLICATIONS
Cutting sheet metal,corrugated sheet metal,and
trapezoidal sheet metal made from mild
steel,alumimum, stainless steel, or copper.
BEFORE OPERATING
1. Ensure the power source conforms with the
tool nameplate.
2. Ensure that the switch is off before plugging
in.
3. If you must use an extension cord,ensure that
it is of sufficient capacity and thickness. Use
the shortest possible extension cord.
4. Periodically inspect all screws for tightness.
This is especially important for the punch and
die screws . Operating with these screws loose
will result in damage to the tool.
5. Make a habit of lubricating the punch and die
with machine oil every time you use it.
CUTTING
1. Do not attempt to cut sheet metal that is
beyond the maximum rated thickness for this
tool.
2. Use cutting oil along the cut to be made. This
will ease cutting and increase punch and die
service life.However:take care that no oil
enters the motor vents.
3. The die holder barrel has 3 detents which
allow it to be set in one of three positions: A, B,
or C.
4. To change cutting direction ,loosen the socket
set screw locking the die holder. Turn die
holder to one of the 3 specified positions. Do
not attempt to position the punch holder at
odd angles.
CUTTING SHEET METAL
Holding the machine firmly with the tool parallel to
the workpiece, apply light counter pressure and cut.

POCKET CUTTING
Before begining you must drill or punch a hole at
least 23mm in diameter.Then proceed to cut
pocket.
CUTTING CORRUGATED AND
TRAPEZOIDAL SHEET METAL
1. Only use the side direction (B or C)when
cutting corrugated or trapezoidal sheet metal.
Do not attempt to use the foreward (A)
direction.
2. Holding the tool firmly, cut while keeping the
die holder perpendicular to the shape of the
metal.
PUNCH AND DIE
The punch and die are wearing parts. Periodically
inspect their cutting surfaces. Wear will be
especially quick when cutting trapezoidal sheet
metal. When the punch's cutting edge becomes
rounded off due to abrasion, the punch and die
must be replaced. Always replace the punch and die
as a matched set.Attempting to use the tool with an
excessively worn punch and die will result in
inefficient operation and excessive stress on the die
holder c-section, causing it to break off.
PUNCH REPLACEMENT
CAUTION:Take care to avoid foreign material
from entering the gear case when replacing the
punch.
1. Loosen the die holder locking screw (no.12)
and remove the die holder.
2. Loosen the socket set screw that holds the
punch to the piston and remove the punch.
3. Install new punch, making sure the hole in the
punch aligns with the piston set screw hole.
Tighten screw.
4. Lubricate piston and punch.

HOW TO USE THE TOOL
Effective control of this machine requires two-
handed operation for maximum safety and
control.
The proper hold is to keep one hand on the main
handle and the other hand on the grip . It is vitally
important to keep stable footing at all times,
OPERATIONS
Once the machine is set up and all safety
measures and equipment are in place, begin by
turning on the machine.
Begin working and contact the workpiece. It is
not necessary to use excessive down force. Allow
the machine to work at the pace it was intended.
MAINTENANCE
Every 50 hours of operation blow compressed
air through the motor while running at no load
to clean out accumulated dust. (If operating in
especially dusty conditions, perform this operation
more often.)
KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry
compressed air. All plastic parts should be cleaned
with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. They could possibly dissolve or
otherwise damage the material.
Wear safety glasses while using compressed air.

THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes are a normal wearing part and
must be replaced when they reach their wear limit.
NOTE: Checking and replacing the carbon
brushes should be entrusted to a qualified
service center.
The carbon brushes furnished will last
approximately 50 hours of running time or 10,000
on/off cycles. Replace both carbon brushes when
either has less than 1/4" length of carbon
remaining. To inspect or replace brushes, first
unplug the machine. Remove the brush caps with
a slothead screwdriver and withdraw the old
brushes. Replace with new brushes (always
replace as a pair) ensuring that they align
properly and slide freely. Then replace the brush
caps.
NOTE: To reinstall the same brushes, first make
sure the brushes go back in the way they came
out. Otherwise a break-in period will occur that
will reduce motor performance and increase
brush wear.
It is recommended that, at least once a year, you
take the tool to an Authorized Service Center for a
thorough cleaning and lubrication.
If the replacement of the power supply
cord is necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or their agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
WARNING: All repairs must be entrusted to an
authorized service center. Incorrectly performed
repairs could lead to injury or death.
