instructions – Bolt the machine down firmly to the work surface. Put the lower die into the lower part of the machine, screw the upper die into the upper section of the machine. Place the eyelet onto the lower die, rim part down, the pin is in the middle of the eyelet (it doesn’t fit any other way). Place the leather, wrong side up, over the eyelet and pull the lever firmly. The eyelet is set. For fabrics or other materials, you will have to test first whether you should punch a small hole first. Normally, that is not necessary. Always test first. That is all there is to it.
