What happens here
Before punching the hole, the presenter emphasizes the importance of precise alignment. He uses a straight line drawn on the panel to ensure that all conduit holes will be perfectly even and aligned. He then secures the knockout die to the bottom of the desired hole location on the panel, preparing it for the hydraulic punching action. He makes sure the tool is square with the drawn line for accuracy.
Goal: Prepare the panel for precise hole punching
