5. Uputstvo za upotrebu

Once the punch set is assembled and your work surface is prepared, follow these steps to punch holes:

  1. Position the Punch: Hold the handle firmly and position the punch head precisely where you want to create the hole. The retractable center mandrel can assist with accurate placement.
  2. Strike with a Hammer: Using a mallet or hammer, strike the top of the punch handle with a firm, controlled blow. The force required will vary depending on the material thickness and density. For thicker or tougher materials, multiple strikes may be necessary.
  3. Uklonite izrezani materijal: After punching, carefully lift the tool. The cut material slug should either remain inside the punch head or fall out. If it remains inside, gently tap the punch head to dislodge it.
  4. Create Rings (Optional): To create a ring, first punch a larger outer circle. Then, realign the punch tool to create a smaller inner circle, ensuring the center mandrel is positioned accurately.
