Please read all of the procedure before attempting this on your unit.  If not, you may cause damage 

to your tooling.

WaRnInG! 

start button adjustment at the lowerst possible air pressure to avoid damaging 

the tooling.  Increase the air pressure slowly to achieve a satisfactory joint, or 

button size.

Please noTe:  ThIs PRess UnIT Uses an aIR PRessURe RanGe of 50-90 PsI

To aDJUsT bUTTon sIzes:

Increase the air pressure to increase button size.  Decrease the air pressure to decrease button size.  

Button sizes are checked with a “Go-No Go” gage (One should be supplied with your unit, additional 

gages can be purchased from BTM).

aDJUsTMenT PRoCeDURe:

1. To achieve proper button sizes (As noted in the Tooling Component Record - Section 6.2), start at

the lowest operating air pressure (50 PSI).

2. Gradually increase air pressure, and check the button dimension frequently.

3. Repeat until button dimension is proper, or until you reach maximum operating PSI (90 PSI).

4. Mark air pressure at time of proper button dimension.  Operate normally at this air pressure, do

not operate the unit above this air pressure.

(If you reach 90 PSI, and you have not made a proper button dimension, per the Tooling Component 

Record, call BTM immediately, DO NOT go over 90 PSI.)

Whenever tooling is changed, test the joints to see that they are still proper.  If they are not, repeat 

the process above to find correct air pressure.
