You will need to pre-punch a hole in your material to set an
eyelet. To achieve the best results, we recommend testing
a few eyelets in some scrap leather using the troubleshooting
tips below as your guide.
Important: Make sure the top/good side of leather is face down.
1) Insert the appropriate anvil and driver for the eyelet you want to
set (8 mm, 10 mm, 12 mm). Secure the anvil with the set screw
located at the front of the anvil adapter using a 5/32" Allen wrench
(Figure 71). Insert the driver into the driver shaft and secure with
the thumb screw (Figure 72).
2) It is important to obtain the proper distance between the anvil and
the driver. Turn clockwise to raise the driver or counterclockwise
to lower the driver (Figure 73).
3) Place the eyelet onto the anvil (Figure 74).
4) Insert leather or material that you are using. Important: Top/good
side of leather should be facing down.
5) Pull the handle forward until eyelet is set
(Figure 75).

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
WRONG
Proper Adjustment for Eyelets
FIGURE 76
Problem:
Eyelet post
is smashed from too
much pressure
Solution:
Turn adjustment
wheel clockwise to raise driver
Problem:
Loose eyelet from
not enough pressure
Solution:
Turn adjustment
wheel counterclockwise to
lower driver
The eyelet post should be nicely rolled under. If the eyelet post
is smashed, it means too much pressure was applied, so the
driver will need to be raised by turning the adjustment wheel
clockwise. Turn the adjustment wheel counterclockwise for a
loose eyelet
(Figure 76)
