Intended use.
This power tool is intended: for commercial applications in industry and trade, for cutting sheet-metal (the maximum cutting thicknesses
of the material are indicated in the Specifications), for use with dies and punches, which are indicated in these operating instructions or
recommended by DRÄCO.
Operating the power tool.
To ensure that the die and punch have a long service life, apply cutting paste or oil along the cutting path (on sheet steel), or petroleum
(on aluminium sheet).
Switching ON/OFF (1)
First check that the cable and plug are not damaged.
Switching the power tool ON:
nSlide switch (1) forward (I)
Switching the power tool OFF:
nSlide switch (1) backwards (0).
Adjusting the cutting direction (3)
nLoosen the union nut (7a) by approx. 3 revolutions.
nPull the die holder downwards.
nRotate the die holder in the cutting direction, push up and notch it
into the groove.
nTighten the union nut.
Changing the punch (5)
Risk of injury by switching the tool ON unintentionally. Before
changing the tool, pull out the mains plug.
Do not regrind the punch and dies. If increased feed is required to
guide the power tool or if no-load strokes or excessive burr formation
occur, the cutting tools are blunt.
For an optimum cut, change the die and punch at the same time!
nLoosen the union nut. (7a)
nRemove the die holder.
nChange the punch.
nRe-fit the die holder again.
nTighten the union nut.
Changing the die (6)

Ideal for treating deep-profiled trapezoidal sheets.
Loosen the union nut (7a) and remove die holder and punch.
Pull the punch extension upwards a little out of the profile set and
insert it from the side into the groove.
Mount the profile set.
Tighten the union nut (7a).
For changing the punch pull it out completely, together with the punch
extension.
Attention! Put in the die in from the side (Die groove has to
match the groove at the wear plate).
