Note: Take time to understand the punch tool and match the appropriate halves of the new button to the matching sides of the punch tool. One half is for the inside; the other is for the outside.

Close the punch tool, to keep the two halves securely together. Make sure this is in a comfortable orientation, to make the hammering easier
-
Use the hammer to give 3 gentle taps following the direction of the green arrow.

Tip: When hammering we advise protecting your work surface. A wooden/plastic chopping board, or an old piece of wood, will work well for this. In this example, we used a hard table base.

Inspect the button and check if it has been secured safely. If needed, you can give it an additional "tap" with the hammer.
