You first need to take the spiral ring tube off.
Use two clamps to hold pages together.
Carefully unhook one end of the spiral.
Then spin the spiral until it all comes off.
Place your leather in the machine, cut and engrave you image.
Take a spacer of paper or cardboard and place on top of leather before adding clamps back on so you don't dent the leather.
Then spin the spiral back on.
Using a pair of needle nose pilers bend and put the hook back on.
