NOTES
• Remove body and handle from packaging and dispose of all packing
• It is important that your Badgemaker is operated in a secure position either
through use of G clamp or mounted onto a board or bolted to a stable
work surface.
• Recommended thickness for prints when used with acetate is
between 80 and 115 gsm (eg. standard photocopying paper is
80gsm).
• After loading die, always ensure that it is located directly under the
top die.
• Metal rings and tops as well as plastic seals can stick together, so always check
that only one at a time is used.
• Never allow the machine handle to spring back.
• When cutting out your prints using the rotary cutter, ensure that you cut out on a suitable surface
such as Perspex, nylon or polypropylene. Any other surface used may damage the blade on the
cutter – suitable boards are available from London Emblem.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If a badge does not make up properly, check:
• That only one top or plastic seal has been used. If two tops or seals are stuck in the top die, they
can be ejected by operating the second stage of badgemaking with the die empty.
• That pressure has been used on the second stage of badgemaking. To ensure perfect
crimping of the badge, pull handle towards you.
CHANGING THE DIE
• Remove bottom die set from base of machine by undoing grub screw (5/29) and lifting out hinge
pin (5/32). Die set can now be lifted o.
• Locate allen screw in underpart of top die and remove by turning in a clockwise direction with allen
key provided.
• Take the required size top die and with obtruding pin towards back of machine, locate the die onto
shaft and ensure that locating pin on top of the die is into the hole at the end of the shaft
and tighten.
• Place required size bottom die set onto base of machine. Locate hinge pin (5/32) through the hole
in the base plate into base of machine. Push down and hold whilst tightening retaining grub
screw (5/29). Do not overtighten.
MAINTENANCE
As with all production machinery, the working surfaces of the machine should be kept clean and free
from dust. Only the very minimum of lubrication, using grease, is advised and this should be applied
only to the surfaces of the shaft assembly and roller on base of handle assembly. It is important to
regularly tighten all screws and bolts. Do not overtighten.
