1.

 

Tie the 65 cm (25 ½”) piece of nylon brake band to 

the other spring attached to a screw eye. Thread the tail 
of the nylon brake band down the inside of the spring & 
trim off surplus.

2.

 

Thread the screw eye with the spring and brake band 

attached into the pilot hole in the lazy kate base.

3.

 

Gently

 tap the 2 bobbin pins into the holes in the lazy 

kate base. 

4.

 

Gently squeeze the ends of the yarn guide together 

and push it into the 2 holes in the lazy kate base. 

5.

 

Position the 2 bobbins onto the bobbin pins.

6.

 Thread the nylon brake band through the hole in the 

tension knob and tie a knot. 

7.

 

Place the tension knob in the tapered hole, wrap 

the nylon brake band around the 2 bobbin whorls and 
tighten until the spring just starts to extend. This is the 
normal amount of tension required. Do not extend the 
spring more than 1 ½ times its own length.
When plying, feed the 2 ends of your yarn through the 
yarn guide.

Controls

1.

 SPIN/PLY (Clockwise/Anticlockwise): SPIN is for 

spinning, PLY is for plying. Do not reverse the direction 
without stopping the motor with the ON/OFF switch. 

2.

 SPEED: Start on SLOW and turn the dial clockwise to 

gradually increase the speed until the correct RPM is 
achieved. 

3.

 ON/OFF: The e-Spinner 3 is fitted with a soft start 

which results in the motor taking 2 – 3 seconds to 
reach the desired speed. This prevents the yarn being 
jerked out of your hands when starting. Always switch 
the e-Spinner 3 OFF rather than using the speed control 
when you want to stop. Check the red LED light is off 
before you leave your e-Spinner 3.

Foot Switch

If you would like to START and STOP your e-Spinner 3 with 
the foot switch only, insert the foot switch plug into the 
FOOT SWITCH hole in the rear of the e-Spinner 3. 
There are 2 operating modes. 
a) Turn the ON/OFF switch to ON. Lightly tap the foot 

switch to turn the e-Spinner 3 ON and lightly tap again 
to turn the e-Spinner 3 OFF. 

b) Lightly put your foot on the foot switch and turn the 

power ON. The e-Spinner 3 will operate only while 
your foot is on the foot switch. Lift your foot and the 
e-Spinner will stop. 

Note:

 

Ensure the e-Spinner 3 is switched off before 

removing the foot switch plug. 

LED Light

The Red LED light indicates the status of your e-Spinner. 

Constant on.

 

 

The e-Spinner 3 is running normally. 

Flashing short on/short off.

 

 

The e-Spinner 3 is on standby. The speed is set to ZERO 
or the foot switch is OFF. 

Flashing long on/short off.

 

 

The power pack is under load. This is OK and you can’t 
harm the e-Spinner 3. However, we recommend you 
either reduce the brake band tension, reduce speed or 
apply a drop of oil to the flyer and bobbin bearings until 
the flashing stops.
