Parts and Operation Overview The 2-Station Rotary button maker is designed with two base dies mounted on a table. One die is marked with an “S” and the into marked with a “B”. These dies work in conjunction with the top die assembly to make one button. Button components are loaded into the base dies. The table is moved back and forth, and the handle is pushed down. A Stop Pin, located on the main casting behind the table, ensures correct positioning on the table before the handle is pushed down.

CAUTION Damage can occur to the top and base dies if they are not on line when the handle is pushed down. CAUTION Use extreme caution to avoid personal injury or damage to the machine. If a button component should become jammed in any of the dies, turn to the troubleshooting section on page 7 for help in removing them.

To start, rotate the table counter clockwise until the base dies are in the position shown in the picture to the right. The die marked “S” should be on the left side of the machine.

Load into the base die marked “S” the following: one Front Shell (sharp edge down), one Paper Insert, and one Clear Plastic Disc. For correct alinement of the finished button, the top of your artwork should point toward the spring on the edge of the die.

Rotate the table clockwise until the loaded shell die stops directly under the top die assembly. The Stop Pin will ensure correct alinement of the top and base dies.
