SWITCHING REGULAR & LACE TIPS
(DOUBLE-END WINDER ONLY)
The double-end winder comes with
drive center and live center tips already
installed. If you have regular and lace
winding tips, you can switch them to
handle different types of winding tasks.
1.
Replace the drive center tip on the
main assembly upright (see Figure 1 on
page 2): use the hex wrench to loosen the
set screw in the tip and pull the tip off the
axle. Insert the new drive center tip firmly
on the axle and tighten its set screw.
2.
Remove the installed live center axle
and attached tip from the tail spindle (see
Figure 1 on page 2): remove the e-clip at
the outer end of the axle. Slide the axle
and attached tip out of the tail spindle,
removing 3 washers, another e-clip, and
the spring.
3.
Install the new live center axle and tip:
insert the axle through an e-clip, a washer,
the spring, and a second washer. Now
insert the axle through the tail spindle
from its inner side. Add the last washer
and secure the axle with the last e-clip,
clicking it into the groove at the end of the
axle (Figure 4).

Helpful Hints for Using Your Bobbin Winder
If the drive belt stretches out of shape and slips, remove it, stretch a rubber
band over the groove in the wheel, then reinstall the drive band.
You can increase belt tension and traction by twisting the belt once in a figure
8 before placing it over the shaft pulley. Note that this will also reverse the
direction you are winding.
Replacement drive bands can be purchased at your local weaving shop or on the
Schacht website.
Your hand bobbin winder has been carefully designed for years of trouble-
free use. The bearings are all self-lubricating and under normal use should not
require further lubrication. If your bobbin winder becomes difficult to turn, add a
few drops of light machine oil (such as sewing machine oil) on each bearing.
