To reduce the risk of injury, anyone using, repairing, maintaining, or changing accessories on this tool must
WARNING
read and understand these instructions before performing any of these tasks.
Always inspect, operate, and maintain this tool in
accordance with American National Standards Institute
Safety Code of Portable Air Tools (ANSI B186.1) and any
other applicable safety codes and regulations.
These tools are rated at 90 psi / 6.2 bar max air
pressure for safety, top performance, and maximum
durability of parts; do not exceed this pressure while
the tool is running.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure
and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use,
before changing accessories, or when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when operating or performing maintenance on this tool.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Always use hearing protection when using this tool as
recommended by your employer or OSHA regulation.
Do not wear jewelry or loose fitting clothes.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See
operating instructions for proper set up.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always
carefully check for damaged or loose hoses and
fittings before operating this tool.
Never operate a tool unless the accessory is retained in
the tool with a proper retainer that has been approved
by Sunex Tools®.
To avoid injury, retainer parts must be replaced when
they become worn, cracked, or distorted.
Avoid direct contact with accessories during and after
use. Gloves should be worn to reduce the risk of cuts or
burns.
Never run the tool off of the work. Accessory must be
held firmly against work surface before tool is throttled.
Slipping, tripping, and/or falling while operating air tools
can be a major cause of serious injury or death. Be
aware of your surroundings and any excess hose left on
the walking or working surface.
Pneumatic tools can cause vibration in use. Vibration,
repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions over
extended periods of time may be harmful to your hands
and arms. Discontinue use of tool if discomfort, tingling
feeling or pain occurs. Consult a physician before
resuming use if any of these symptoms occur.
Do not stretch or overreach while using this tool.
If tool appears to malfunction, remove from service
immediately and arrange for repair.
Never use tool if there is any chance of coming into
contact with line electricity.
Use only Sunex certified spare parts for any repair made
to tool. Repairs should only be performed by properly
trained persons.
Do not lock, tape or wire the tool valve in the "on/off"
position.
Do not allow the exhaust air to come in contact with hot
surfaces or flames.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work
process, which can be harmful to your health. Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such
as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter
out microscopic particles.
Handling the brass parts of this product will expose you
to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to
cause birth defects and other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
Additional Safety Warnings
Do not modify this tool or its accessories.
This tool is not recommended for use in explosive
atmospheres or underwater use.
Operators and maintenance personnel must be
physically able to handle the bulk, weight, and power
of this tool.
This tool is for professional use only.

Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pres sures. It is
recommended that air pres sure of these tools mea sures 90 PSI at the
tool while running free. Higher pres sure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) will
short en the tool life and can cause accessory failure due to over speed.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in the air
line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the
air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The rec om mend ed
hookup pro ce dure can be viewed in figure 1.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the tool each day after use with quality SAE #10 air motor oil.
Add the oil to the air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to
the air supply then run the tool until all excess oil is expelled from the
exhaust. Total oil quantity needed for this procedure is approximately
1 ounce.
Troubleshooting...
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic
action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line,
moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections
of improper size or poor conditions may reduce air supply. Grit or
gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected by
cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent
oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions
are in order, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest
authorized service center.
Operation...
PUNCHING:
1. WARNING: Always wear heavy-duty leather gloves when handling
sheet metal. Sharp edges can cause severe injury. Always wear
ANSI-approved safety goggles.
2. Pre-mark the desired location of each hole you wish to punch on
the workpiece.
NOTE: If the workpiece is to be both punched and flanged, flange it
first, then measure for the hole placement. Flanging will change the
dimensions of the workpiece.
3. Connect the Air Punch/Flange Tool to your air supply. Do not
exceed 90 PSI.
4. Insert the edge of the workpiece between the Punch Die (38) and
the Punch (34). Make sure your marks are aligned with the Punch
Die (38).
FIGURE 1
5. Squeeze the Throttle Lever (32), and the Punch (34) will pierce
the workpiece.
6. Align the tool with the next mark on the workpiece, and repeat
step 5 until the job is finished.
7. Disconnect the air supply.
8. WARNING: After disconnecting the Air Punch/Flange Tool
from the air supply, there could still be enough air pressure
to fire the Punch/Flange Tool. After making sure the air supply
is disconnected, ALWAYS fire the Punch/Flange repeatedly to
make sure all air is bled from the tool.
FLANGING:
1. WARNING: Always wear heavy-duty leather gloves when
handling sheet metal. Sharp edges can cause severe injury.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
2. Measure and cut the workpiece to the correct dimensions.
3. Connect the Air Punch/Flange Tool to your air supply. Do not
exceed 90 PSI.
4. Secure the workpiece in a vise or use another appropriate
clamping method.
5. Insert the workpiece into the flanging jaw between the Anvil
Bed (39) and the Punch Die Bed (40). Make sure the workpiece
is all the way flush against the back of both the Anvil Bed (39)
and the Punch Die Bed (40). Squeeze the Throttle Lever (32),
and the Anvil Bed (39) will be driven against the Punch Die
Bed (40), forming a flange.
6. Release the Throttle Lever (32). Slide the tool along the edge
of the workpiece to where the Anvil Bed (39) and the Punch
Die Bed (40) overlap part of the workpiece you just flanged.
Repeat step 5.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until until the entire length you wanted
to flange is finished.
8. Disconnect the air supply.
9. WARNING: After disconnecting the Air Punch/Flange Tool
from the air supply, there could still be enough air pressure
to fire the Punch/Flange Tool. After making sure the air supply
is disconnected, ALWAYS fire the Punch/Flange repeatedly to
make sure all air is bled from the tool.
