Setup and Operation

Punching Note: The Intelli-PUNCH™ driver is a microprocessor-controlled hydraulic punching tool with an automatic retraction feature that will engage after punch completion to save time and save the operator from having to manually
retract the tool. However, care should be taken to make sure punches and dies are not bottomed out and that the tool releases upon punch completion. Therare circumstances that can cause the automatic retraction function to fail.

1. Refer to the hydraulic punch instruction manual for proper punch, die, and drawstud selection and setup.”

2. Select the appropriate punch, die, and drawstud for the desired hole size.

3. Determine and mark the exact location for the hole. Use a Greenlee Kwik-Stepper step bit to drill a pilot hole slightly larger than the drawstud being used.

4. Depress the Return button to reset the ram to the starting position.

5. Thread the appropriate drawstud completely into the ram in the punching head.

6. Slide the corresponding die onto the drawstud. The open end of the die should face away from the punching head.

7. Insert the drawstud through the pilot hole in the material being punched.

8. Thread the punch (cutting edge facing the material) onto the drawstud until the punch assembly is tight on the material surface.
   Note:
   ● All of the punch threads must be engaged with the drawstud threads. If any punch threads are not engaged, reassemble the setup.
   ● For SPEED PUNCH®, slide the punch onto the drawstud (cutting edge facing the material) and secure the SPEED LOCK to the drawstud.

9. Press and hold the trigger to complete the punch cycle. The Intelli-PUNCH™ driver will automatically retract when it senses the punch is completely through the material.
   • Under certain circumstances, such as with thin sheet steel or very low punch forces, this unit may not initiate auto-retract or auto-retract may be initiated prematurely. Care should be taken to not bottom out punches, which will cause damage after punch completion. In the event auto-retract is prematurely activated, retry punching the hole.
   • The auto-retract feature can be overridden at any time to stop ram retraction by depressing the trigger.
   • If overpressure is reached during the punch cycle, the tool will automatically shut off and return the ram to the starting position. This may indicate the operation attempted is beyond the capacity of the tool. The overpressure condition will also occur when the tool reaches full stroke. (Care should be taken to avoid driving this tool to full stroke, as this may cause damage to the punch and die).

10. Unscrew the punch from the drawstud. Slide the die off the drawstud and remove any slugs from the die. Note: For SPEED PUNCH®, remove the SPEED LOCK. Slide the punch off the drawstud; then slide the die off the drawstud and remove any slugs from the die.
