Button
I hated this kanji. It took me forever to figure it out. It is read as ボタン.

Comment: "Thanks. I actually went through several online and print resources, none of which included the kanji. (e.g. www.alc.co.jp did not even have an entry with this kanji alone)"

釦 is used for "button". This is some unusual character which is not often used in our daily life, and we don't learn this character in school either.

Here again, I may need some more explaniation about the actualy function of the machine. While I found three pages where 釦 is used in an actual use, where it's some parts of the machine where they need to 'push' to make it operating. (Please refer to the below link which is about an oil pressure crawler crane.) While I looked into the 'kanji' dictionary to find out that it has simply meaning of a 'button', which corresponds to the above context.
Therefore, an example would be something like:
e.g. The operation button must have the two points, i.e. the constant open point or the constant close point that are not overlapped each other.
I'm not grasping the image of the machine, but plesse note ボタン would be the first choice for the translation of the kanji 釦.

It¥'s read as ¥"kou¥" as ¥'onyomi¥' (if you know somewhat of Japanese), for your reference.

Sorry, the answer should be in English as ¥"button¥". I put it in Japanese katakana.
