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 the instructions completely,
identify the parts and note the assembly sequence. Remove
any sharp corners or edges and smooth the surface of the
wood with the sand paper provided.
Timber
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.

MDF
The Kiwi3 wheel is made from timber veneered, New Zealand
manufactured, MDF (Medium Density Fibre board). MDF is an
engineered wood-based product made by bonding wood fibres
with a synthetic resin adhesive. This resin has been known, in
very rare cases, to cause irritation if dust is inhaled or comes
in contact with the skin. We recommend wiping away any
dust with a moist rag and then sealing the surfaces with a 3
coat application of wax or polyurethane. MDF is an extremely
versatile material that can be machined and finished to a
high standard and has been used to make furniture for over
50 years. The Kiwi 3 Spinning Wheel is also available factory
finished in clear lacquer.
