CANON PROFESSIONAL PUNCHER-A1 DIE SET - INFORMATION SHEET
IMPORTANT NOT ICE REGARDING TH E DIE SETS PLEASE REA D
Your CANON Professional Puncher-A1 die set (C4, W2 and W3 versions), is
supplied with a felt pad containing oil, a pad retaining magnet and shield*. Do not throw these items away!
The felt pad will provide lubrication to the punch pins under normal usage and will
help to keep the punch pins clean. The magnet is intended to keep the felt pad in
place during typical handling. If the pad and magnet came off of this die set during
shipping or unpacking, please replace them as indicated in the accompanying
diagram.
Keep this sheet as a reference in the event that the pad and magnet are removed or
replaced.

3. MAINTENANCE
3.1 INSPECTION, CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
The following maintenance should be performed once annually, u nder normal use.
Operational Inspection
1. If operating properly, the Professional Puncher-A1 will punch the same types of
copy paper and cover materials handled by the copier/printer. It will run at the
speed of the printer.
2. Hole quality will vary between different grades of paper.
External Cleaning
1. Make sure you disconnect the Professional Puncher-A1 from its power source
before cleaning. The cover may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild
detergent and warm water.
2. Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents as these may have a harmful effect.
Use detergent sparingly to avoid contact with electrical components.
Internal Cleaning
Before internal cleaning, be sure to disconnect power to the Professional PuncherA1 and ensure that you retain control of the power cord.
Occasionally, it will be necessary to remove the rear cover and remove paper dust
built up around the motor and other electrical components. Use a vacuum cleaner if
possible. A small paintbrush can also be used but extreme care should be used
around electrical components.
Internal Inspection
Whenever the cover has been removed for corrective maintenance, visually inspect
for defects such as loose screws or nuts, abraded wire insulation, loose terminals,
etc. Correct any defects before returning the machine to service.
Lubrication Points and Recommended Lubricant
• Lubricate the punch pins and/or the felt pad once every 50,000-punch cycles with
oil (High Quality Machine Oil is recommended).
• Method:
1. Sparingly depress the Pin Guide so that the Punch Pins protrude from
the bottom plate, oil the ends of the pins and wipe clean.
2. Apply oil directly to the felt pad (If so equipped).
3. Apply two drops of oil to each of the two shoulder bolts and springs.
• If Punch Drive Module Assembly is ever removed for service, check for sufficient
grease on the cranks.

GREASING CRANKS
Die Sets
Professional Puncher-A1 Die Sets have an average expected life of approximately
500,000 sheets of paper. This life may vary depending on variables such as
following the lubrication schedule described above, the type of paper being punched,
the cover stocks being punched and the typical length of the average job.
3.2 DIE SET MAINTENANCE
Die sets have a minimum life expectancy of 500,000 cycles depending on
application, environmental factors and maintenance. Periodic lubrication of the
punch pins can extend the life significantly. CANON recommends use of a high
quality machine oil (do not use spray oils) every 50,000-punch cycles.

3.3 PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
The following preventative maintenance should be performed during the regular
printer inspection intervals.
• Disconnect the main cord set and retain it in your control for your safety.
• Remove the rear cover.
• Perform a visual inspection; clean, adjust and replace components as required.
• Vacuum Paper Chad out of Back Gage Mechanism and Die Guide as well as
base.
• Optical Sensors; Remove dust and particles from the lens using a soft cloth.
• Inspect Timing Belts for wearing or fraying.
• Inspect any Latching Mechanisms, clear any jams paper debris.
• Inspect Left / Right Punch alignment by running paper with each die set, check for
even hole alignment by folding the paper in half. If adjustment is required, ensure
that the Die Latch is properly adjusted.
• Inspect the Door closing latch for proper alignment, if bent, instructs the operator
to avoid closing the door with paper path latches out of place.
• Lubrication of the Die Set Pins (see note above)
• Cams (when punch is pulled), lubricate with high quality grease
• Inspect the Idler Rollers, clean if necessary.
• Inspect the Drive Rollers, clean if necessary.
• Inspect the Paper Path Panels, clean if necessary.
• Inspect each Die Set for wear. Run at least 100 sheets of paper. Look for signs of
excess paper jamming. Inspect the hole quality. Hanging chad or ragged holes can
lead to paper jams. If the hole is cut sharp enough that there is no hanging chad
and the paper passes through the system without catching and jamming, the die
set still has life.
As with any electro-mechanical device, isolated component failures may occur.
3.4 SETTING THE RIGHT EXPECTATIONS
Product Positioning:
Professional Puncher-A1 provides a flexible, cost effective punching solution for light
to medium level production oriented customers.
• Designed for customers that have the need to punch their documents at a
maximum of 60-70% of their overall workflow.
• Recommended punching limit to 200k sheets per month. (600k sheets in
bypass mode)
• Die Sets will decrease in performance over time based on the types of stocks and
weights that are being punched.
• CANON guarantees a minimum of 500k punches per die set. However, if
paper stock punched is typically 20lb bond, then up to 2 million punches can
be achieved.
• Should be regarded as a long-term supply item.

4.2 DIE SET POSITION CRADLE ADJUSTMENT, CENTERING
PUNCHED HOLES
The die set position cradle is set in the factory; however, because of the punchedhole spacing on the PB die sets, there is a minimal amount of paper on each edge of
the punched paper. The die set position cradle may have to be fine adjusted to
center the punched-hole pattern in the paper.
Listed below are the step-by-step instructions to adjust the die set to the proper
position:
• The punched-hole alignment must be checked on a piece of punched paper. Fold
the punched sheet of paper in half and the punched-holes should be aligned. If the
punched-holes are not aligned, then the die set cradle must be adjusted to align
the punched holes.
NOTE: The paper path is always constant, if the holes are not centered; you
must adjust the die set crad l e .
10
PUNCHED HOLE ALIGNMENT CHECKING
• The back cover on the Professional Puncher-A1 must be removed to a ccess the
die set position cradle.
CRADLE
• Before ad justing the die set position cradle, you must first no te what direction the
die set cradle must move.
• Before you adjust the die set position cradle, you must loosen the lock-down
