PREPARATION FOR WORK
CHANGING THE CUTTING DIRECTION
• The die holder (4) can be set to four positions by turning it 90° at
a time.
• Loosen the nut securing the die holder (3) enough so that the die
holder (4) can be rotated (Fig. A).
• Rotate the die holder (4) to the right or left by 90° relative to the
axis of the power tool. Ensure that the tab on the die holder (4)
engages properly in the hole in the gear housing.
• Tighten the nut securing the die holder (3).
MAXIMUM CUTTING THICKNESS
• The maximum cutting thickness depends on the strength of the
material to be processed.
• This power tool can be used to cut sheet metal with the following
thicknesses easily and without deformation:
Type of material
N/
Steel 400
2
600 N/mm
2
800 N/mm
Aluminium 200 N/mm
SETTING THE GAP BETWEEN THE DIE AND THE PUNCH
Depending on the thickness of the sheet metal being cut, set the
correct gap between the die and the punch.
Unscrew the nut securing the die holder (3), remove the die holder (4) from the
gearbox housing.
Remove any unnecessary spacers (Fig. B).
Install the die holder (4) in the gearbox housing.
The die holder must be pushed in as far as it will go, hitting one of the
four tabs.
OPERATION / SETTINGS
TURNING ON/OFF
Before connecting to the mains, always check that the mains voltage
corresponds to the rated voltage indicated on the rating plate on the
power tool.
• To switch on the device, move the switch (1) forward (towards
the head) and hold it in this position.
• For continuous operation, press the front part of the switch
button. The switch will automatically lock in the continuous
operation position (Fig. C).
• To switch off the device, press the rear part of the switch button
(1), which will automatically move backwards.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
• Always hold the power tool perpendicular to the surface of the
sheet metal; do not tilt the power tool to the sides (Fig. D).
• Cutting takes place when the punch moves downwards.
• Guide the power tool evenly, pushing it lightly in the direction of
the cut. Excessive feed reduces the service life of the punch and
die and may damage the power tool.
• The power tool works more effectively if it is lifted slightly during
cutting.
• If the punch becomes jammed, switch off the power tool
immediately, lubricate the punch and release the sheet metal. Do
not use force – using force may damage the punch or die.
• Wear protective gloves when working; pay particular
attention to the power cord. Cutting sheet metal produces
sharp burrs that can cut the operator or damage the power cord.
• Be particularly careful when handling filings. The sharp ends
of the filings can cut the operator of the power tool.
LUBRICATION OF THE PUNCH/COOLING
• To extend the service life of the punch (5), use lubricants with
high cooling properties (e.g. cutting oil).
• Coat the outer surface of the sheet metal with oil along the
planned cutting line. During longer jobs or when cutting materials
such as aluminium, which cause heavy abrasion, immerse the
working tools (punch and die) in a container of lubricant at regular
intervals.
CUTTING ALONG A CONTOUR OR TEMPLATE
• Straight cutting is easier if the power tool is guided along a ruler
(Fig. E).
• When cutting contours, guide the power tool along the template
(Fig. F).
• Before cutting, it is necessary to make a hole with a diameter of
(Fig. G).
at least 22 mm
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
Before performing any installation, adjustment, repair or
maintenance work, remove the power cord plug from the mains
socket.
Do not use water or other liquids to clean the shears.
• Clean the shears with a brush.
• Clean the ventilation slots of the device regularly to prevent the
motor from overheating.
• The punch and die should be cleaned and lubricated every three
working hours.
• If the punch and die are worn, replace them with new ones, as
only sharp cutting tools ensure good cutting quality and prevent
damage to the power tool.
Do not sharpen the punch or die – replace them with new ones.
Always replace both cutting elements at the same time.
REPLACING THE DIE
• Remove the die mounting screws (7) (Fig. H).
• Remove the die (7). If necessary, clean the die seat in the die
holder (4).
• Insert a new, oiled die (7) into the die holder (4). Make sure that
the die is positioned with the flat side facing in the correct
direction.
• Screw in the die fixing screws (7).
REPLACING THE STAMP
• Unscrew the die holder fixing nut (3) and completely remove the
die holder (4).
• Loosen the stamp fixing screw (5) (Fig. I).
• Insert the new oiled punch (5) into the holder and tighten the fixing
screw. Ensure that the fixing screw is correctly positioned in the
socket in the punch shank (5) (Fig. J).
• Adjust the position of the punch (5) by turning it so that when the
die holder (4) is mounted, its position is fully aligned with the die
(6) (Fig. K).
• After placing the die holder (4) in the correct position (the die
holder must be pushed in as far as it will go, hitting one of the four
tabs), tighten the die holder fixing nut (3).
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
Worn (shorter than 5 mm), burnt or broken motor carbon brushes
must be replaced immediately. Always replace both carbon brushes
at the same time.
• Unscrew the carbon brush covers (2) (Fig. L).
