Using the Greenlee 28162 Knockout Punch is straightforward. First, select the right draw stud according to your driver type. Then, place the punch on the pilot hole. Thanks to its self - centering design, you don't have to worry about precise alignment. Start the driver, whether it's battery, hydraulic, or ratchet - based, and let the punch do its job. When punching, you'll notice the slugs are split easily for quick removal. As for maintenance, after each use, clean the punch and dies to remove any debris. Check the draw studs for signs of wear and tear.

Store the punch in a dry place to prevent rusting and ensure it's always ready for your next project.
