Putting together your new loom may look intimidating at first, but this
manual is designed to guide you through the process with clear steps,
pictures, and diagrams. If the manual is unclear or confusing at any point,
call us at 530-893-4915. We’re here to help.
There is a definite advantage in assembling your own loom. You’ll come to
know it very well, sooner than you otherwise would, and the better you
know your loom, the better you’ll be able to use and maintain it.
Tools
First, you’ll need tools:
1.
Hammer
2.
Socket Wrench with 1/2”, 7/16”, and 9/16” sockets
3.
Large Bladed Screwdriver
4.
Medium Phillips Screwdriver
5.
Large Phillips Screwdriver
6.
Scissors
7.
Crescent Wrench
8.
Level (a small one will do)
9.
Occasional Extra Pair of Hands
Packed with your hardware are a few additional tools that you may not have.
Once you’ve gathered your tools, open all the boxes and lay the contents out
just as you find them.
Please DO NOT REMOVE the tape from any of the
components until we tell you
. Also leave the hardware bags unopened
until they are required.
Keep as many of your packing materials as you can in case you need to ship
or store your loom in the future. Clear away your packing materials from
your working space. It’s best if you keep your work area as organized and
free of clutter as possible.
You’ll need a space about 5’ x 5’ to assemble your loom. In addition, a
conveniently located desk or table will come in very handy for several of the
operations.
Depending on your particular style of work, the entire assembly operation
will take between three and eight hours.
