2.1 Intended use
Warning
Risk of injury
¾Only use the machine for the tasks and materials described in
"Intended use".
The TRUMPF Nibbler TruTool N 200 is a hand tool powered by
compressed air used for the following applications:
•Slitting plate-shaped workpieces made of a punchable material
such as steel, aluminum, non-ferrous heavy metals, and
plastic.
•Nibbling straight or curved exterior and interior cutouts.
•Slitting tubes as well as machining sectional sheets.
•Nibbling along scribed lines or templates.
Notes
•The nibbling process produces cutting edges free of
deformations.
•Because of the hollow round punch, the nibbler can be rotated
at any position such that processing can continue mm any
direction.

¾Always move the machine during work away from your body.
¾Do not operate the machine above your head.
1. Turn the safety lever (8).
2. Press the lever (9) against the motor housing.
Note
The cutting result is improved and the service life of the punch
increased if the cutting track is coated with oil before machining the
workpiece.
Material Oil
Steel Punching and nibbling oil ( 0.5 l, order no. 103387)
Aluminum Wisura oil (1 l, order no. 125874)
1. Do not move the machine towards the workpiece until full
speed has been reached.
2. Machine the material.
–Machine the desired cutting line
3. In the event that the cutting track ends in the sheet, pull the
still-running machine a few millimeters back towards where the
cutting track has already been cut open.
4. Switch the machine off.
¾Release the lever.
The lever springs back to initial position, the compressed air is
interrupted.

5. Maintenance
Warning
Risk of injury due to uncontrolled machine movements.
¾Remove the compressed air hose when changing tools and
before performing any maintenance work on the machine.
Caution
Damage to property caused by blunt tools!
Machine overload.
¾Check the cutting edge of the cutting tool hourly for wear. A
sharp punch provides good cutting performance and is easier
on the machine. Replace punches promptly.
Warning
Risk of injury due to repair work not being carried out
properly!
Machine does not work properly.
¾Repair work may only be carried out by a qualified technician.
