Carefully lift the treadle bar on the
opposite side and slide it into its place
between the arms. Place the screws
into the holes of the treadle arm and
find the pilot holes by adjusting the
treadle bar.
Now tighten all screws of the treadle
bar with the screwdriver and then
tighten the screws that hold the
connecting rail.
7. The connection of the treadle and the dobby knife and adjusting the knife at the
proper height
Each shaft is connected to a dobby hook by a cord. Dobby hooks are the pieces of wood with
two protruding screw heads. When the dobby hook is not activated, one of its screw heads
locks the shaft in its lowermost position. When a dobby hook is pushed by the dobby head,
the hook unlocks and the other screw head will be caught by the knife as you push down the
treadle for the shed. When the dobby hook is pulled down by the knife, it lifts the shaft
connected to that dobby hook.
The knife is the steel bar on the right side of the loom which will move up and down with the
treadle.
The knife is attached to a rotatable
system of two connected disks.
The steel cable, screwed onto the front
disk, has to be connected to the pedal.
With the threaded hook you will now
connect the cable from the knife to the
treadle and adjust the knife at the
proper height.
Unscrew the threaded hook and barrel
nut and reassemble them into the holes
on top of the connection rail of the
treadle.
Lead the cable one winding around the disk, hook the loop onto the hook, and guide the
cable over the pulley, which is installed above on the bar in the middle section of the loom.
You can adjust the starting position of the knife to a lower or a higher level by screwing the
threaded hook further down or respectively higher up. When you are doing this adjustment,
you have to unhook the cable loop, otherwise the cable will undo the adjustment by twisting
back while weaving.
The starting position of the knife has
to be adjusted to a level so that the
screw head of the farthest back shaft
is just able to move freely under the
knife.
