3.1 Description of functions
1
st
phase - tool is connected to compressed air, all internal components are on the starting
positions (punching thorn /1/ extends from the nozzle /2/, centering pin /3/ in the rear
position and does not interfere with a centering hole in the punching pin)
2
nd
phase – insert punching pin into the hole in the material

rd
phase - when button is pressed /4/ to the first position will open the ball valve /5/,
compressed air enters channels in the valve head /6/ and pushes the centering pin /3/ using
a pneumatic piston /7/ to punching pin /1/
4th phase – pressing the button /4/ to the end position of the main valve is open /8/ and
compressed air is released under the main pneumatic piston /9/, the piston in the cylinder is
pushed toward the hydraulic body /10/ and hydraulic rod /11/ pushes into the oil /12/, which
pushes hydraulic piston /13/ to the rear position. Given that the hydraulic piston /13/ strongly
associated with punching pin /1/, this also moves backwards and there is punching the
material between the punching pin /1/ and punchinch nozzle /2/.

th
phase – after releasing the button /4/ it will be back with the help of compression springs
to its original starting position
3.2 Punching process
1. The circular hole drilled in the plate
2. Insert the punching collet to the hole – that is pressed and skips to the edge of the
cylindrical part when placing next to the hole
3. Insert in the the center of the collet centering pin which expands punching collet into
the desired shape
4. After pulling the punching pin created a hexagonal hole
collet

Warning:
1. Always hold the tool perpendicular to punched material when punching.
2. Consider the size of the pre-drilled hole (this will ensure the centering pin ejection)
3. Before the next hole punching always remove chips from punching pin (prevent the damage)

3.3 Punching pins changing
Remove the front nozzle, allow the nut and remove the pin. We will exchange the pin, secure the nut
(pin must always be free to rotate). On the front nozzle mount the nose cap (appropriate size to
used pin) and secure by the locknut.

The user may only perform the activities described below, other maintenance and repair is
authorized to carry by the manufacturer or its authorized service centers.
4.1 Adding hydraulic oil, venting of the hydraulic
1. Disconnect the tool from any compressed air
2. Clamp the tool horizontally in a vice
3. Unscrew the filling oil screw by the internal hex key 4
4. Screw the filling adapter instead of screw
5. Fill the syringe with hydraulic oil and place it into the adapter
6. Add oil to the bottom visible thread rotation
7. Remove the syringe and remove the filling adapter
8. Give back the adding oil screw and tighten with internal hex key 4
9. Remove the tool from the vice and connect the compressed air supply
10. The tool is ready for use oplnění hydraulického oleje, odvzdušnění hydraulické části
4.2 Punching system cleaning
1. Keep the punching pin and nose cap cleen! To ensure the free movement of pin and
centering pin the chips must be removed during all the operation!
