An electric punch includes a main body frame (1) having two punching holes (35,35) leading to a waste storage chamber (4) below. A pair of guide bores (34,34) support a pair of punching blocks (36,36) aligned with, and movable into, the respective punching holes (35,35). Two operation arms (40,40) are pivoted on respective holders. Each operation arm (40,40) is connected to one punching block (36) to impart vertical motion thereto. Each operation arm (40,40) includes a longitudinal guide groove (43) therein. A pair of operation pins (30,30) are driven in circular paths within the guide grooves (43,43) to reciprocate the operation arms (40,40) about their pivots. In the quiescent condition, the one of the guide pins (30,30) lies at the end of its guide groove (43), whereas the other guide pin (30) lies about in the middle of its guide groove (43). A guide concavity (44) at the end of the guide grooves (43,43) accepts its respective operation pin (30), whereby the associated operation arm (40) rests at a different rotational position than it would if the guide concavity (44) were omitted. A spring (45) provides a restoring force on the punching block (36,36) associated with the guide concavity (44). The guide grooves (43,43) and holders may be positioned at selectable spacings. A reversing switch (57) permits reversing the direction of the circular paths to clear jams.
