Please try carding on your new drum carder, before doing any adjustments. It
is pre-adjusted for optimum performance at the manufacturer and should
require no further adjustment.
If you wish to re-adjust your carder please follow the procedure below:
Using a Phillips screwdriver loosen the four slider hold down screws as shown in figure
A.
Figure A
After you have loosened the screws, move the
swift forward (closer) or rearward (further away) from the licker-in as you wish. It is
easier to move one side at a time and then snug one screw on that side until you get the
required results.
When you are satisfied with the adjustment, re-tighten all four adjustment screws.
Caution….Caution…Caution
There is a break in period on all carding cloth where a small amount of
metallic dust may be deposited on your fiber. We would like to suggest the
first couple of batts you card should be of a dark or gray color fiber, and not a
bright white.
After a the first couple of batts any metallic residue should be removed and
you can continue with all colors without a problem.
All of our Drum Carders now come with a free copy of our DVD (Fancy

carder, various fiber preps that can be made with the carder, carding
