INSTRUCTIONS
BOAT SHUTTLE BOBBIN WINDER
Wooden
Before Commencing
Read the instructions completely, identify the
parts and note the assembly sequence. Then use
the fine sandpaper supplied to remove any sharp
corners or edges.
Finishing the Wood
We recommend that the wood surfaces be waxed
or oiled before assembly. This protects the wood
from climatic changes and enhances the beauty
of the wood.
For the Ultimate Finish
The Ashford Wax Finish will enhance the natural
colour and beauty of the Beech timber.
Assembly
1. Attach the base to the upright with 2 x 45mm (1¾") screws.
2. With the handle to the outside place the wheel onto the shaft and push the dome cap on.
3. Place the drive band around the wheel and spindle pulley. NOTE: Remove the drive band
when not in use to avoid it stretching.
4. Apply a drop of oil occasionally to the tapered shaft bearings. NOTE: The Wheel is fitted
with a ball bearing and doesn’t need oiling.
5. Assemble the clamp as illustrated.
6. Clamp your boat shuttle bobbin winder to a bench or table.
7. Slide a bobbin onto the tapered shaft until tight.
8. Wind your yarn onto the bobbin.
