Check hardware against full
size illustration.
To make assembly easier use
candle wax on the screws.
Check the directions carefully.
When you use the allen key,
make sure it is at 90 degrees
and is at the bottom of the
hole.
If the hook is hard to turn use
the allen key.
Before commencing, please read these instructions
completely, identify the parts and note the assem-
bly sequence.
Remove any sharp corners or edges and smooth the
surface of the wood with the sand paper provided.
We recommend that the wood surfaces be waxed
or sealed before assembly. This protects the kiln
dried wood from the 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.
If you are assembling your spinning wheel on a
table, we recommend you protect the surface with
a towel, blanket or cardboard. Ashford spinning
wheels are also available factory finished in clear
lacquer.
