I recently had a punch that jammed. It
was few years old so not under warranty, so I called the wonderful
people at Demo Support to see if they had any suggestions.
- Drop or throw it gently on a carpeted surface.
- Step on it to punch through card.
- Put it in the freezer overnight.
I tried the freezer option and it
worked. The metal shrinks in the cold and then expands again when
warm. Whatever is misaligned fixes itself during the shrinking stage.
A Demo friend of mine stepped on an old
punch she had. She said it made a horrible noise and she thought
she’d broken it, but it started working again.
Did you know that you could sharpen
punches by punching through aluminum foil?
