Installs and aligns neck rings and press plungers to blanking molds, using wrenches, to form neck and mouths of product. Couples air lines to molds and coolant lines to mold jacket to regulate solidification of formed glass. Couples gas lines to burners under molds to maintain plasticity of glass during forming. Adjusts trip buttons on timer drum to set gob feeding, blank molding, final molding, and product discharging sequence. Turns controls to regulate air pressure, gas pressure, glass temperatures, and coolant flow. Observes machine operation to maintain sequences and air and fluid volumes, using knowledge of machine operation and product specifications. Frequently swabs molds with graphite solution to prevent glass from sticking to mold, using swab or spray gun. Periodically, visually examines product for surface defects that indicate damaged or scored molds and measures shape, size, and weight of product, using fixed gauges and scales to determine if air pressure, solidification rate, and gob size are correct. May also regulate annealing lehrs to cool glass product. May also be designated by product formed as Bottle-Machine Operator (glass industry).
