Operating Instructions
Selecting a Hole Size
To select the desired hole size, gently rotate the punch head until the corresponding size indicator aligns with the punching mechanism. Ensure the head clicks securely into place for accurate punching.
Inserting Material
Open the punch handles and slide your material (e.g., paper, fabric, leather) into the jaw of the punch. Position the material so that the desired punching location is directly under the selected hole size.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Punch
To maintain optimal performance, regularly clean the punch. Remove any small material scraps or debris that may accumulate in the punching mechanism. A small brush or compressed air can be used for this purpose. Ensure the punch is dry before storage.
Storage
Store the Crop-A-Dile Multi Hole Punch in a dry, safe place away from dust and moisture. Keeping the handles closed when not in use can help protect the punching mechanism.
Troubleshooting
Incomplete Punch
If the punch does not cut cleanly through the material, ensure the material is properly aligned and that you are applying sufficient pressure to the handles. For thicker materials, a firmer squeeze may be required. Also, check if any debris is obstructing the punch mechanism.
Material Stuck in Punch
If material becomes stuck, gently open the handles and carefully remove the obstruction. Avoid forcing the material, as this may damage the punch. Use tweezers or a small tool if necessary.
