2. Operating instructions
(1) Checks before setting
Please do not install a machine in the unstable place to which it is
shaky or leans. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
When you move, have a base. There is a danger of receiving an
injury.
When you install a machine, please install to a place with no dust,
and the place which is not influenced with a liquid. It becomes the
cause of failure if the installation method is mistaken.
(2) Operating procedure
Caution
Caution
(1) Setting a drill bit
Insert a drill bit into the chuck and tighten with the provided wrench.
(2) Setting the punch depth
After installing a drill bit, adjust the stop nut that limits downward travel so that the drill bit just
enters the brown fiber plug on the table when the drill bit is fully extended.
(3) Setting paper
Open the paper guide and place the paper on the table.
Close the paper guide the paper will be centered on the table automatically.
Push down both sides of the paper clamp to secure the paper.
Clamping pressure should be set according to the type of the paper.
VS-15: Do not try to punch more than 30mm of paper.
VS-25: Do not try to punch more than 50mm of paper.
Don't put a hand under the hollow drill bit. There is a danger of
receiving an injury.
Turn off the power supply beforehand when attaching or detaching
hollow drill bits. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
Don't touch the blade point of the hollow drill bit. There is a danger
of receiving an injury.
４
(4) Setting the back margin
(Distance between the edge of the paper and the center of the holes)
The back margin can be set at any value from 6mm to 35mm by turning the back margin
adjusting bolt (use the scale on the table as a guide).
(5) Distance of the holes
The program pitch bar can be set to select any of six pitches.
Continuous punching can be done precisely thanks to proper paper setting by the clutch
stopper.
Caution
Don't put a hand under the hollow drill bit. There is a danger of
receiving an injury.
Don't touch any rotating part. There is a danger of receiving an
injury.
Don't bring a hand, face, hair, sleeves of clothes and the like close to
the rotating parts of the machine. There is a danger of receiving an
injury.
When you change into unusual states, like smoke comes out, please
turn off the power switch of a main part, and pull out a power supply
plug from a wall socket after that. There are failure, a fire, and fear of
an electric shock.
The hollow drill bits become heated when they are drilling. Don't
touch them when they are drilling. Touching them may cause a
burn.
Don't touch the blade point of the hollow drill bit. There is a danger
of receiving an injury.
Please do not make a hole in paper with foreign substances, such as
a needle of a stapling machine. Moreover, also things other than
paper. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
Please do not make a hole hard paper and near the hole which have
opened in piles. There is a danger of receiving an injury.
(6) Operating the punch
Turn on the power then lower the drill bit quickly without stopping until the stop nut halts the
descent (this should take about one second)
(7) Finishing the punch
After the punch finished, turn off the power. Take paper after the rotation of a drill bit completely
stopped.
3. Maintenance
(1) Checking the edge of the drill bit
If punching requires more force than normally or if the drill bit lifts paper with it, it's time to sharpen
the drill bit. It's a good idea to sharpen the drill bit regularly, before this happens.
(2) Sharpening the drill bit
A dull drill bit may make punching hard. A dull drill bit is more easily damaged than a sharp one. To
sharpen it, follow these steps:
５
Caution
Don't put a hand under the hollow drill bit. There is a danger of
receiving an injury.
Don't touch any rotating part. There is a danger of receiving an
injury.
Don't bring a hand, face, hair, sleeves of clothes and the like close to
the rotating parts of the machine. There is a danger of receiving an
injury.
Don't touch the blade point of the hollow drill bit. There is a danger
of receiving an injury.
1. Place the provided sharpener on the fiber plug as shown at the right, and turn on the power.
2. Turn the handle until the rotating drill bit touches the sharpener, then turn a little more. The drill
bit is sufficiently sharp when you hear a high-pitched squeal.
3. Remove the burrs on the edge, by holding the provided oilstone parallel to the rotating drill bit
and bringing then in to contact until all burrs are gone.
4. Use the paraffin to the drill bit for lubrication.
Hollow drill bit
Bring the dull drill bit
down onto the sharpener.
Paraffin
Sharpener
Oilstone
Hold the oilstone
parallel to the drill
bit as you remove
burrs.
(3) If bottom sheets are not completely punched
The fiber plug wears out with continued use. When the bottom sheets are not punched completely,
turn the fiber plug over or turn it 180°; replace as necessary.
Caution
Turn off the power supply beforehand when adjusting the fiber plug.
There is a danger of receiving an injury.
(4) Emptying the chip receptacle
The tiny paper disks (chips) that are punched out of the paper travel up through the hollow drill bit
and accumulate in the chip receptacle.
Empty the receptacle often, before it becomes full. To remove the receptacle, simply lift it out of the
machine. After emptying, make sure you seat it securely again.
６
(5) When thermal protector works
Caution
When a machine stopped during use, turn off the power switch, and
pull out a power supply plug from a wall socket after that.
There is a danger of begins to turn again. And there is a danger of
receiving an injury.
When machine use long hours, motor becomes hot. To avoid the damaging of the motor, rotation
of drill automatically stops by activating of thermal protector. When machine become cold, drill
automatically rotates again if machine switch is not turned off. This might be cause of the injure of
operator. So, when thermal protector works, turn off the power switch and pull out the power supply
from the outlet.
