The following maintenance should be performed once annually, under normal use. See also section 3.4 
Die Set Maintenance 

1.  If operating properly, the SmartPunch will punch the same types of copy paper and cover materials 

handled by the copier/multi-function printer. It will run at the speed of the multi-function printer. 

2.  Hole quality will vary between different grades of paper. 

 

1.  Make sure you disconnect the SmartPunch from its power source before cleaning. The cover may 

be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with mild detergent and warm water.  

2.  Do not use chemical cleaners or solvents as these may have a harmful effect. Use detergent 

sparingly to avoid contact with electrical components. 

 

Before internal cleaning, be sure to disconnect power to the SmartPunch and ensure that you retain 
control of the power cord. 

Occasionally, it will be necessary to remove the rear cover and remove paper dust built up around the 
motor and other electrical components.  Use a vacuum cleaner if possible. A small paintbrush can also be 
used but extreme care should be used around electrical components. 

 

Whenever the cover has been removed for corrective maintenance, visually inspect for defects such as 
loose screws or nuts, abraded wire insulation, loose terminals, etc. Correct any defects before returning 
the machine to service. 

 

•  Lubricate the punch pins and/or the felt pad once every 50,000-punch cycles with oil (3-in-one Oil or 

better is recommended).
