3. Hand-held method. Proceed as follows:
a. Place selected chuck (figure 1, item 1) in open end of holder (figure 1, item 2) and secure chuck
in place using locking screw (figure 1, item 3) located on one side of holder (figure 1, item 2).
Then place the die (figure 1, item 4) into anvil (figure 1, item 5).
NOTE
In most instances, a chuck will be installed in the hand held holder and a die will be
placed in the anvil. However, there may be some occasions that require the location of
the chuck and die to be reversed. This situation may also apply to the hand or foot
operated press.
b. Fit socket or stud (figure 1, item 6), as applicable, on chuck (figure 1, item 1) lower end. Place
cap or post, as applicable, on die (figure 1, item 4) with barrel facing up.
c.
Position material over barrel of cap or post. Ensure that fastener socket or stud (figure 1, item 7)

fastener components to material.
e. Remove clinched snap fastener components from chuck (figure 1, item 1) and die set (figure 1,
item 4) and check seating of joined components. If applicable components are not properly
seated, repeat procedures in step d., above.
f.
Check engagement of installed snap fastener components with opposite mating components to
