5.3. Punching a Hole

3. Place the material (e.g., leather belt) between the selected punch and the plastic punch plate. Position the tool on a stable desktop surface.
4. Press down firmly and steadily on the handle. The double lever mechanism will assist in applying sufficient force. For optimal results, turn the punch slightly left and right a few times while pressing to ensure a clean cut and prevent adhesion.

5.4. Cleaning and Locking After Use

4. After punching, remove any residue from the punch head. A thin wire or finishing nail can be used to push out trapped material from the punch tube.
5. To store, rotate the punch head so that a solid part of the wheel is over the anvil, and press the handles together to engage the locking pin. This keeps the tool compact and safe.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the punch heads and the anvil to ensure optimal performance and prevent material buildup.
• Punch Plate Replacement: The package includes 5 plastic punch plates. These can be rotated to utilize unused sections. If all sections are worn, a piece of the product packaging can be used as a temporary punching pad.
• Alignment Check: If the plastic hole size indicator is in a dislocation position, manually rotate it to align with the maximum or minimum size of the punch for correct indication.

7. Troubleshooting

• Hole Not Cleanly Cut / Material Adhesion: When punching, turn the tool slightly left and right a few times while pressing down. This helps ensure a cleaner cut and prevents the material from sticking inside the punch.
• Punch Size Indicator Misalignment: If the plastic hole size indicator is in a dislocation position, manually rotate it to align with the maximum or minimum size of the punch.
