Turn thumbscrew clockwise to tighten.
Step 2

Installing and Attaching Eyelet To Metal Sheet:
Step 1
Insert desired eyelet with post into bottom jaw setting.
Lay pre-punched material over eyelet post.
Step 2
Adjust compression adjustment screw.
Step 3
The flanged side of the eyelet should rest on the anvil with the solid center post. Firmly squeeze eyelet tool handles together to secure eyelet to material.
The tool's spring-loaded center should press into the hollow side of the eyelet to create a smooth, rolled finish.
Tip: For the best results, ensure the eyelet is properly seated before squeezing the pliers. Test on a scrap piece first to perfect your technique.
