Pin Addition
The process for adding punch pins is the same as pin removal except
that pins are added and not removed once the pressure bar is off. When
replacing punch pins make certain that the pins are completely seated
against the pin retainer prior to reattaching the pressure bar.

Die Stop Position
On some of the SmartPunch Plus die sets there is an adjustable die stop
which is used to re-center the die set for certain sheet sizes, as shown
in Figure 8.7. For die sets without a die stop knob there is no die stop
position adjustment necessary.
For units with a die stop knob, the die stop must be set to the correct
position or the punched holes will not be centered on the sheet. The
common paper sizes are shown on the die stop handle label below the
die stop knob, for the uncommon paper sizes please refer to Table 8.2.
Position A is when the arrow on the die stop knob points down towards
the handle and lines up with the lower arrow on the die stop handle label.
Position B is when the arrow on the die stop knob points to the side and
lines up with the side arrow on the die stop handle label. (See Figure
8.7)
To change the die stop position first remove the die from the machine
and place on a flat stable surface. While holding the die in a stable
position push down on the die stop knob until the knob is free to rotate.
Then turn the knob until the arrow on the knob lines up with the desired
arrow on the die stop handle label. Once the arrows line up, release the
die stop knob making sure that the metal die stop on the bottom fully
seats against the die plate.

Die Set Maintenance
The SmartPunch Plus die set must be periodically oiled and greased to
maintain proper functionality and prevent premature failure of the die
set. The die set should be oiled and inspected every 250K cycles.
Before lubricating the die, remove all visible paper dust present,
preferably using compressed air or a clean dry cloth if compressed air
is not available. If compressed air is available, use it to clean out the
area between the top and bottoms plates. Do not used a cloth to clean
this area.
To lubricate die set pins that do not have felt pads:
1. Depress the die set so that the pins protrude from the bottom
plate.
2. Apply a drop of high quality machine oil to the end of each pin.
3. Wipe clean, leaving a light coat of oil on them.
To lubricate die set pins that have felt pads:
1. Lubricate with a high quality machine oil.
2. Apply oil lightly along the length of the pad [1], but do not over
saturate.
3. Do not use spray lubricants because they tend to dry up quickly
and leave a sticky residue.
Oil from the die may blemish the first few punched sheets after oil
has been applied. Run test punched copies until clean copies can
be made.
Figure 8.8 Lubrication
HD Die Set Shoulder Bolts
HD die set shoulder bolts must be checked and lubricated as necessary
every 750K cycles. If the grease is missing from the springs or shoulder
bolts [2] then additional grease must be applied.
1. Lubricate with a high quality Teflon-based grease.
2. Apply grease to shoulder bolts and springs [2]
3. Wipe up any excess grease.
End of Die Life
If a die set is at the end of its life it will tend to cause paper jams due to
hanging paper chips. This is a result of die plate wear and not pin wear,
which cannot be corrected. When this occurs, the die set must be
replaced with a new one. Attempting to replace or sharpen pins will not
correct the issue since the wear is in the plates and therefore is not
recommended.
