Your Cleveland Steel Tool Ironworker has been shipped with a
punch and die installed within the punch station. When worn
or chipped, the punch and die must be replaced. Observe the
following procedure when maintaining the ironworker punch
station.
Turn off power to machine by depressing the red stop/off
button and lockout upstream power at the main electrical
panel.
Maintain as follows:
1. Swing the Punch Stripper up or away from the punch by
loosening the stripper assembly bolts.
2. Remove punch by loosening the punch nut assembly with
factory supplied wrench.
3. Remove die by loosening the set screw at the side of the
punch table and then lifting die from the die holder. If the
die resists removal, gently tap the die from the underside
of the punch table to loosen the die for removal.
4. Install new die and tighten set screw. If loading a shaped
die, align the whistle spot with the set screw and tighten.
5. Install new punch and tighten punch nut with wrench. If
using a shaped punch, align the locating keystock of the
punch with the corresponding slot within the punch stem
assembly and tighten the punch nut with the wrench.
6. Check for punch and die alignment by powering up the
machine and inching down the punch to meet the die with
the foot pedal. Check to see that the punch is centered
in the die.
7. In the event that the punch and die are not aligned, first
confirm that the punch is seated properly in the punch nut
assembly. If not seated properly, repeat step 5. If seated
properly, loosen the bolts under the die table allowing the
table to be moved to center the die. When aligned, tighten
the table bolts to secure the table and repeat step 6.
8. Swing the stripper bar back in place allowing for minimal
clearance between the top of the material and the bottom
of the stripper and tighten the stripper bolts.
