Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a qualified ironworker operator or fabrication technician. Always de-energize and lock out the ironworker machine before changing tooling, following applicable OSHA lockout/tagout procedures. Verify that the punch body diameter and head diameter match the machine's tooling station before seating the punch. Inspect the punch and die for wear or damage prior to each use to maintain hole quality and prevent tool failure.
