The Ashford Kiwi 2 Spinning Wheel assembly instructions

Tools required

Before commencing, please read the instructions completely, identify the parts and note the assembly 
sequence.

We recommend that the wood surfaces be waxed or sealed before assembly. This protects the kiln dried 
wood from climatic changes and prevents it getting dirty or stained.  The Silver Beech tree is a native of 
New Zealand and has a lovely variety of colour and grain. For a silky smooth matt finish, use the Ashford 
Wax Finish to enhance the natural colours and character of this timber. 

The wheel is made from MDF, a high density durable wood product that can be wax finished, painted or 
decorated. Ashford Spinning Wheels are also available factory finished in clear lacquer.

Meaning of Symbols

If the hook is hard to turn use the allen key. 

When you use the allen key, make sure 
it is at 90 degrees and is at the bottom 
of the hole 

Check the directions carefully.

Check hardware against
full size illustration.
