Greenlee GATOR LS50L2 Mode D'emploi page 8

Setup and Operation (cont'd)
Punching
Note: The LS50L2 is equipped with a microprocessor
to control the operation. It automatically shuts off if
punching does not begin within 1 second after pulling
the trigger. This guarantees the entire stroke is available
for punching and saves power.
1. Select the punch, die, and draw stud that will make
the appropriate size hole. Refer to illustrations on
the following pages.
2. Determine and mark the exact location for the hole.
Use a Greenlee Kwik-Stepper
that is slightly larger than the draw stud. This is the
pilot hole.
3. Push the return button and the ram will return fully.
4. Thread the 3/4" draw stud completely into the
punch driver. Refer to illustrations on the following
pages.
5. Install a spacer, if necessary. Refer to illustrations on
the following pages.
6. Slide the die over the draw stud with the open end
of the die facing away from the punch driver.
7. Insert the draw stud through the pilot hole.
8. Thread the punch onto the draw stud with the
cutting surfaces of the punch facing the material.
Tighten the punch by hand until the spacer, die,
material, and punch contact each other.
Note: The 3-1/2" to 4" punches require the
threaded sleeve prior to assembly to the draw stud.
Note: All of the punch threads must be engaged
by the draw stud threads. If any of the punch
threads are not engaged, disassemble the setup,
remove the spacer, and reassemble the setup.
9. Pull the trigger. The LS50L2 will automatically shut
off when it senses that the punch is completely
through the material.

Release the trigger when the punch completes the
hole. The LS50L2 may not sense when a hole is
made in sheets thinner than 18 ga. (1 mm) and soft
materials (such as plastic, etc.).
Note: A "popping" sound indicates that the LS50L2
has reached relief pressure. This may indicate that
the operation attempted is beyond the capacity of
the tool.
10. Release the trigger. When the punch is completed,
the ram will return completely, after depressing the
return button.
Note: At any time during the punching cycle,
pushing the return button will result in a complete
return of the ram.
11. Unscrew the punch. Remove slugs from the die.
Remove the spacer and unscrew the draw stud.
