• included: plier tool, 3 cap dies, 3 rubber tips, screwdriver, awl, replacement metal shaft
Instructions for Use:
Test on scrap fabric prior to using on a garment. It is recommended to use at least 2 fabric layers to prevent tearout.
- Gently pierce the prong of the cap through the fabric from the right side. When using a dense fabric, use the included awl to poke a hole.
- Position the cap die on the pliers. Place the socket over the prong.
- Firmly squeeze the pliers closed then release. The snap prong should be squashed down into a flat ball, wide enough to hold the socket or stud in position and flat enough to allow the snap set to close.
- Repeat using a cap and stud to complete the fastener.
Special Notes:
How to Change the Die:
- Use the screwdriver to loosen the screw under the die.
- Insert the appropriate die.
- Tighten the screw just enough to keep it secure.
How to Change the Metal Shaft:
- Unscrew the top shaft screw; remove the spring.
- Pull off the rubber tip and slide the metal bolt out.
- Reverse the instructions to install the new shaft.
