The red button on the bottom is not the manual operation switch, it's the reset button for the circuit breaker. The circuit breaker is by far the flakiest and most unreliable part of the winder. But you'll burn out the motor if the switch in the camera doesn't stop the winder when it's done winding, so you need that circuit breaker. The Auto Winder is not built to Topcon's normal standards of "indestructible."
