How to use

Position the material on a stable, impact-safe surface and align the area to be punched beneath the 3.5 mm punch. Rotate the head if necessary to ensure the punch is correctly engaged, then squeeze the handles firmly and evenly to drive the punch through the material. For best results, support the underside of the material to prevent excessive deformation and to obtain a clean edge. After use, inspect the punch cutting edge and clear any debris to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

Use the tool on materials compatible with a 3.5 mm punch and avoid attempting to punch hard or highly abrasive materials. When working on delicate textiles or thin plastics, use a supportive backing to prevent stretching. Store the pliers in a dry place and keep the punch clean and free of residues to preserve cutting quality.
