Troubleshooting
Tool is difficult to turn or seems stuck
Check that the pilot hole is perfectly centered and verify that the material thickness is within the 4.0mm limit. Apply a drop of lubricant to the bolt threads.
Cutting edge produces a rough hole
Ensure the punch is perfectly aligned with the die. If the edges appear dull, the unit may require professional sharpening or replacement.
Bolt threads are stripping
Stop immediately to avoid permanent damage. Ensure there is no debris in the threads and that you are not exceeding the force threshold of the tool.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the HCPS32, ensure you have a compatible drill bit for the pilot hole and a properly sized spanner. Always verify that the material thickness does not exceed the 4.0mm limit to avoid damaging the tool's threads. For longevity, keep the cutter threads lubricated with a light machine oil, especially when cutting through harder materials like stainless steel. After use, clean any metal shavings or plastic debris from the cutting edges and store in a dry, cool environment to prevent oxidation. Periodically inspect the punch screw for any signs of thread wear or edge dulling to ensure continued performance.
