WARNING

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ENCLOSED. READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY 

OF THE EMPLOYER TO PLACE THE INFORMATION IN THIS MANUAL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OPERATOR. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE 

FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

GETTING STARTED WITH THE MACHINE 

• THE PUNCH AND FLANGE TOOL IS INTENDED FOR FLANGING AND 

PUNCHING OF SHEET METAL. FACOM WILL NOT BE LIABLE IF THE MACHINE 

IS USED FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE.

Residual Risks

In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulation and the 

implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be 

avoided. These are:

- Impairment of hearing.

- Risk of personal injury due to flying particles.

- Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot during operation.

- Risk of personal injury due to prolonged use.

THIS MACHINE HAS NOT BEEN DESIGNED TO BE USED IN AN EXPLOSIVE 

ATMOSPHERE.

DO NOT use under wet conditions or in the presence of flammable liquids 

or gases.

This machine is a professional power tool.

DO NOT let children come into contact with the tool. Supervision is 

required when inexperienced operators use this tool.

- Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by 

young children or infirm persons without supervision.

- This product is not intended for use by persons (including children) 

suffering from diminished physical, sensory or mental abilities; lack of 

experience, knowledge or skills unless they are supervised by person 

responsible for their safety. Children should never be left alone whith this 

product.

This machine and its accessories must be used in compliance with these 

instructions. Using it for any other purpose may cause a risk of danger for 

people and the environment. 

• Always operate, inspect and maintain this machine in accordance with 

all regulations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply to hand 

held/hand operated pneumatic machine.

• For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate 

this machine at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the 

inlet with 3/8” (10 mm) inside diameter air supply hose.

• Exceeding the maximum pressure of 6.2 bar will lead to the risk of 

danger such as excessive speed, breaking parts, higher torque or force 

that may destroy the machine and its accessories or the part being 

worked on.

• Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly 

secured.

• Don’t abuse hoses or connectors.

• Always use clean, dry and lubricated air at 90 psig maximum air 

pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the 

motor of an air machine.

• Do not lubricate machine with flammable or volatile liquids such as 

kerosene, diesel or petrol.

• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.

• The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to 

the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool maneuverability.

• The pneumatic machine must be fitted and connected to the compressed 

air network via quick disconnects to facilitate shutdown in the event of 

danger.

• When the life of the tool has expired, it is recommended that the 

machine be disassembled, degreased and parts be separated by material 

so that they can be recycled.

• For multiple hazards, read and understand the safety instructions 

before installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories 

on, or working near compression power tool.

 Failure to do so can result in serious bodily injury.

• Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the 

compression power tool.

• Do not modify this compression power tool. Modifications can reduce 

the effectiveness of safety measures and increase the risks to the 

operator. 

• Do not discard the safety instructions; give them to the operator.

• Do not use the compression power tool if it has been damaged.

• Be aware that the failure of the workpiece or accessories, or even of the 

inserted tool itself, can generate high-velocity projectiles. 

• lnspect regularly for cracks; injury can result if a cracked yoke or jaw 

fails with use. 

• For overhead work, wear a safety helmet.

• Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.

• Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards including 

cuts, abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands.

• Operators and maintenance personnel shall be physically able to handle 

the bulk, weight and power of the tool.

• Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden 

movements and have both hands available.

• Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the 

energy supply.

• Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use as it can 

become hot.

• Tools shall not be operated if directed toward the operator or any other 

person.

• Keep hands away from compression mechanism; it is recommended that 

operators hold the compression power tool with both hands.

• Regular inspections for cracks and fissures in the compression mecha-

nism and yoke shall be made.

• Hold the inserted tool firmly against the work surface before starting 

the tool.

• Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are 

recommended by the manufacturer of the compression power tools; do 

not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.

• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of 

slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards caused 

by the air line or hydraulic hose.

• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden 

hazards, such as electricity or other utility lines.
