Thank you for deciding to purchase the EMBLEM Easy Airpress Standard 4. Before
using your new machine please carefully read the safety notes and the
explanations for installation, operation and changing dies in this manual.
1Safety
1.1 Safety notes
Always disconnect the device from the compressed air supply before performing the
following work on the machine:
Changing the dies
Cleaning, adjustment or maintenance
Repairs
The outlet pressure of the compressor must be regulated so that a maximum pressure of
7 bars (101 psi) in the device is never exceeded. A pressure higher than 7 bars can
damage the device and cause serious injuries to the operator.
The device operates with a pressure of 5-7 bars. It is designed to give the best results for
an air pressure of 6 bars. Permanent operation with a pressure above 6 bars increases
wear.

2Technical Description
2.1 General information
The Easy Airpress Standard 4 is a portable pneumatic air press with which one can safely and
efficiently attach eyelets to different materials, such as banners, marquees, tarpaulins, flags, signs or
posters.
The pneumatic pressing of the eyelets is executed in a single step, i.e. punching the banner and
setting in the eyelet.
By replacing the die, the device can press different metal eyelets from 8mm to 18.2mm in addition to
transparent 12mm plastic eyelets.
With both the plastic dies and the metal dies, the cut out parts of the banner are pressed through the
upper die into a practical collecting container which can be easily emptied from time to time.
2.2 The eyelet punching process
The operator presses the grommet into the upper die, where it is automatically held. The
washer is placed into the lower die. The banner is then positioned between the two dies and
the punching process started with the footpedal. Alternatively, the operator can start the
process by actuating the manual operating lever.
The compressed air drives the piston downwards and the eyelet is pressed in a single step.
After releasing the pedal or the manual operating lever the piston returns to the upper
position and the finished banner with eyelet can be removed.
