HOW TO USE:

1. Identify the Correct Pin: Ensure that the pin you intend to work with is a 2.5mm metric roll pin or a similar hollow tension pin. This punch is specifically designed for these types of fasteners.
2. Position the Workpiece: Secure the item containing the roll pin in a vise or on a stable, flat surface to prevent movement during the punching process. Always ensure you have a clear and safe working area.
3. Select the Punch: Hold the Mayhew 2.5mm Pilot Pin Punch firmly in your hand. The 2.5mm pin width of the punch should match the inner diameter of the roll pin.
4. Align the Punch: Carefully place the rounded tip of the punch directly into the hollow end of the roll pin. The patented design ensures a snug and stable fit.
5. Apply Force (Driving In): If driving a pin in, tap the striking end of the punch with a hammer. Start with light taps to ensure proper alignment and gradually increase force as needed until the pin is seated to the desired depth.
6. Apply Force (Removing): If removing a pin, ensure there is clear space for the pin to exit on the opposite side. Strike the punch with a hammer, applying steady and controlled force to drive the pin out.
7. Inspect: After driving or removing the pin, inspect the pin and the surrounding material for any signs of damage. The specialized design of this punch minimizes such risks.
8. Clean and Store: After use, wipe the punch clean and store it in a dry place to maintain its black oxide finish and prolong its life.
