Using this Makita oval die is straightforward. First, make sure you have the Makita 18V LXT Cordless Metal Hole Punch model XPP01 (sold separately). Insert the 15/32' x 23/32' (12 mm x 18 mm) oval punch as required. Then, place your general steel or stainless - steel plate between the die and the punch. Activate the hole - punching tool to create the hole. Remember, the metal plate thickness should be within the specified range: 5/64” (2 mm) to 5/32” (4 mm) for general steel and 1/8” (3 mm) to 5/32” (4 mm) for stainless steel. When it comes to maintenance, after each use, wipe the die clean with a dry cloth to remove any metal shavings or debris. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. Avoid using it on plates that are too thick as it may damage the die and the punching tool.
