Safety instructions for Cordless 
Hole Puncher
1. Proper selection of the punch and the die is 
essential. Select the correct punch and die 
according to the hole shape, size of hole, 
workpiece thickness and material type.
2. 
Ensure that any punch with stepped edge, which pre-
vents free rotation, is installed correctly in the punch 
piston before tightening the punch retaining nut.
3. 
For punching channel-shaped workpiece and 
the workpiece made of stainless steel, use the 
die provided exclusively for these materials. 
Only select the combination of the punch and 
die that is suitable for the workpiece thickness.
4. Ensure the punch and the die are rmly xed 
in position with the nut or the bolt. Failure to 
dosomaycauseseriousdamagetoyourtool

perature is cold, it should be run for a few 
minutes at idle before starting operations.
6. Keep face, hands and other parts of your body 
away from the punching area during operation.
7. Remove the battery cartridge before changing 
the punch and the die or when servicing or 
making adjustments.

deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any 
way may cause a tool breakdown and a seri-
ous accident. Replace them immediately with 
new ones supplied from Makita.

and die may wear earlier than punching softer 
materials. Ensure that the punch and die are 
in good condition, free from wear and are not 
deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any 
way. Check with your dealer before punching 
any material not listed in the specications.
