Insert the Nibbler Drive Shaft into the drill chuck and check to ensure the chuck jaws do not rub on the Nibbler
Select the desired position of the die of the Nibbler (KJT/9) by slackening the nose cap (KJT/7).

The Professional Nibbler can be used to cut one-handed, only with the specially designed One-Handed Operation Handle (sold separately). Do not attempt to cut one- handed without this attachment.
The One-Handed Operation Handle fits drills with a standard 43mm Collar. To fit the handle to your Nibbler, slide handle over drill chuck, onto the drill collar and tightened the bolt on the handle. Slide nibbler handle into groove in One-Handed Operation Handle, and tighten drill chuck.

Slide the clamps along the bench until the Professional Nibbler’s drive shaft is inserted into the drill’s chuck.
Tighten drill chuck to secure the Professional Nibbler and drill together.
Leave 2-3mm gap between chuck jaws and Professional Nibbler body so they don’t rub.
Now tighten T-bolts on each bench clamp for a secure hold onto work bench.
Ensure the Die is facing away from the bench and the Punch (cutter) is visible.
You are ready to begin your job.
Drive screws into the holes on top of the clamps to secure the bench clamps further to the work bench.
Cutting a straight line following an existing straight edge profile with The Professional Nibbler and the Straight and Circle Cutting Attachment (sold separately):
Set the required distance on the Guide of the Straight and Circle Cutting Attachment from its flat surface to the inside of the punch edge – See diagram below.
Holding the flat edge of the guide against the straight edge of the material, start cutting with the tool whilst pressing the edge of the material firmly against the guide. This will duplicate the profile of the edge of the material at the line of the cut.
Cutting a circle with The Professional Nibbler and the Straight and Circle Cutting Attachment (sold separately):
Attach your Professional Nibbler to the Bench Clamps as shown on page 8, then attach the Straigh and Circle Cutting Attachment to the Die of the Nibbler.
Measure and prepare your material by first marking the centre point (1) of the intended circle then measure and mark (2) the desired radius. E.G. for a 50cm circle, measure a 25cm radius as shown on page 13.
Drill a 10mm hole at the centre point (1).
At your outer mark (2) measure 5mm back towards the centre and drill a second 10mm hole. Note the outside of this hole should be flush with the outside of the indended circle.
Position the sheet of metal over the bench mounted tool, placing the Die of the Nibbler in the outer hole, and the Guide of the Circle Cutting Attachment in the centre hole. Make sure the Die and Guide are firmly apart in the holes and tighten the grub screw of the Guide on the shaft of the attachment.
Now you are ready to cut. Start up the tool and carefully rotate the sheet metal on the centre guide until the circle is completely cut out. Remember to apply a smear of oil or lubricant to the cut line.
Please note: This attachment CANNOT be used for cutting corrugated metal.
The Punch and/or Die should be renewed when the cutting edges start to show signs of wear.
Loosen the Die Cap anti clockwise with an adjustable spanner.
Note the Die only needs to be replaced once in every three Punch (cutter) replacements.
Lift and remove the Die from the Professional Nibbler.
Loosen, unscrew, and remove the Punch Locking Nut from the Shaft with the Punch inside.
Slide the Punch (Cutter) out of the Punch Locking Nut.
Begin to reassemble by inserting the new punch (cutter) into the Punch Locking Nut.
Slide the punch locking nut down to the bottom of new Punch (cutter).
Insert the punch locking nut back into the shaft and begin to tighten with fingers first.
Tighten the Punch Locking Nut with adjustable spanner but do not overtighten.
You will notice four slots in the bottom of the Die and a split pin the Boss.
When placing into position make sure slot fits over the split pin and sits flat on the Die Boss.
Place the Die back into position over the Punch.
Slide Die Cap down onto the Die and then tighten.
Do not overtighten.
Your tool is now ready to use.
When it comes time to replace the Punch and/or Die, we suggest that one Die is replaced for every three Punch replacements.
When cutting through Stainless Steel and older corrugated iron the Punch and Die will wear faster.
If the half-moon shapes cut from the material are sticking together, this means the Die is showing signs of wear. Some plastic materials will always have their half moon shapes sticking together. Test the Professional Nibbler first on a piece of metal for a better indication of whether the Die is wearing.
The Professional Nibbler can be used with standard electric drills, cordless drills and pneumatic drills. The drill should be rated between 300 – 500 Watts with a speed of 1500 – 3000 RPM to run the Professional Nibbler properly and allow cutting of the listed materials and thicknesses.
Yes, it will run a little slower, but it will cut. This is ideal for small jobs (especially up on the roof, saves pulling a lead up)
Each cutter will cut 300 metres on corrugated and car panel steel. (Always spray CRC/WD40 along cutting path).
The cutting blades can be changed by removing the Die with a standard adjustable spanner, and takes only a few minutes. Ensure the Die is tightened firmly once you are done.
