Troubleshooting
Eyelet does not set properly
Ensure the Crop-A-Dile tool is set to 'A1' and that the eyelet is correctly positioned within the tool's setting mechanism. Check that the material is not too thick for the eyelet and tool combination.
Eyelet spins or feels loose
The material may be too thin or too smooth. Try reinforcing the area with a small piece of cardstock or adhesive-backed paper before inserting the eyelet. Ensure the Crop-A-Dile tool was squeezed firmly.
Crop-A-Dile tool jams
Check for any debris in the tool's mechanism. Ensure the eyelet is correctly seated and not bent. Refer to the Crop-A-Dile tool's manual for specific troubleshooting steps.
Eyelet distorts or crushes
This can happen if too much force is applied or if the eyelet is not aligned correctly in the tool. Ensure consistent pressure and proper alignment. The material may also be too hard.
