Important Safety Instructions

WarnInG

1. Proper selection of the punch and the die is essential. Select the correct punch and die according to

the hole shape, size of hole, material thickness and material type.

2. Ensure that any punch with stepped edge to prevent free rotation is installed correctly in the punch
piston before tightening the punch retaining nut.

3. For punching channel and stainless steel, use the die provided exclusively for these materials. Only

select a suitable punch & die combination that is correct for the material thickness.

4. Ensure the punch and the die are rmly xed in position with the nut or the bolt. Failure to do so may

cause serious damage to your tool and serious personal injury. Regularly check and tighten the punch
and die.

5. The tool is electro-hydraulic. When the temperature is cold it should run for a few minutes and idle
before starting operations.

6. Keep face, hands and other parts of the body away from the punching area during operation.

7. Remove battery before changing the punch and the die or when servicing or making adjustments.

8. The punch and the die that become worn, deformed, nicked, broken or damaged in any way may

cause a tool breakdown and a serious accident. Replace them immediately with new ones supplied
from Hougen Manufacturing, Inc.

9. When punching stainless steel, the punch and die may wear earlier than would be the case with softer

materials. Ensure that the punch and die are in good condition, free from wear and are not deformed,

nicked, broken or damaged in any way. Check with your dealer before punching any material not listed

in the specications.

10. Remove and check the carbon brushes regularly. Replace them after 200 times of uses. Carbon

brushes with a length of about 6mm or less may cause damage to the motor.

11. When using the tool continuously, its temperature can exceed 70 degrees, which may cause lower

performance. In this case, stop operating for about 1 hour to allow the tool to cool down before
using it again.

CautIon

1. Do not cover or clog the motor air vents as this may cause the motor to overheat, resulting in

smoke, re and explosion.

2. This tool is a hydraulic tool powered by electricity. When the temperature is low, hydraulic oil
may become solid and tool cannot perform well. Idle tool for a few minutes before use.

3. As the oil reservoir was lled before delivery, do not add oil unless the tool works abnormally.

4. When using an extension cord with the charger, it is recommended to use a cord with the cross

section below and with a length as short as possible. For charging outdoors, use a cab type
extension cord.
