On rare occasion the locking pin jams in the down position. What we recommend is to drill a small hole in the center of the button. Screw in a sheet metal screw. The screw can now be used to pull the button up. A replacement locking pin may be ordered here: https://leeprecision.com/lock-pin
If you do not feel confident in doing this, return the press to the factory and we will fix it for you at no charge. This service is free, but please enclose $7.00 for return shipping and fill out this return form.
