8. DIE SET USER MANUAL

The die sets for the PUNCH G2 are intended to work with multiple
paper sizes and sheet feed directions. In order to accommodate
different sheet sizes this die set must be configured to the correct
number of punching pins and the die stop must be set to the proper
position. The die label contains information on the common paper
punching sizes, for the uncommon sizes please refer to Table 8.1.

Table 8.1 Pin Removal Guide
To remove punch pins from the PUNCH G2 first turn the two Quarter
Turn Fasteners CCW direction to release the pressure bar. Remove
the pressure bar and set aside.
Note: Lubricating oil may be present on the die pins, wear gloves if
needed.
Lift up and remove the desired pins according to Table 8.1. Store pins
in the pin storage tray inside front door of machine making sure pins
cannot be dropped, damaged or lost while removed.
Replace the pressure bar by lining up dowel pin holes with exposed
dowel pins. Hold pressure bar so that it is seats completely over dowel
pins and then rotate Quarter Turn Fasteners clockwise until a click is
felt to lock pressure bar in position. The pressure bar can be locked
only if the orientation is correct, it cannot be locked in any other
orientation.
Important!
Before reinserting, clean the punch pin to remove any dust or foreign
substances.
Make sure pressure bar is attached and both Quarter Turn Fasteners
are in the locked position prior to inserting the die set into the machine
or serious damage can occur to both the machine and die set.
