TIE-UP CORDS
There is one tie-up cord for every
lamm hole. On the 8.10 the 2 outer holes
have metal spring pins inserted that work
as jack pins holding the shaft assembly
together. Thread the tie up-cord through
the spring pins the same as you would in
the other 8 holes in the lamm.
Thread the loop of one end of each
tie-up cord through a hole in the lamm
and pull the button end through the loop
until the cord is secure against the lamm.
Attach the shafts to the treadle by slipping
a tie-up cord into the slot in the treadle.
Work from the front lamm to the rear
lamm for each treadle. After completing
your tie-up, check each treadle by push-
ing it all the way to the floor and releas-
ing it, making sure that the knob of each
tie-up cord is against the treadle and that
each cord hangs straight down.
INSTALLING THE HEDDLES
Remove the shafts from the loom by
removing the rubber rings and unscrew-
ing the small hex nuts from the jack
pins. Pull a shaft straight up and out of
the loom. When you put the shaft back
in the loom, be sure to insert the jack
pin back into the hole and secure it with
the hex nut. Replacing the rubber ring is
optional.
Lay a shaft on a flat surface. Lay
two heddle bars next to the heddles.
Carefully slide a group of heddles onto
the heddle bars. Fit one end of each
heddle bar into one of the slots in the
shaft frame. Using very gentle pressure,
flex the heddle bar just enough to fit the
other end into the slot on the opposing
side of the shaft. Separate approximately
half of the heddles to each end of the
shaft. Put the shaft back in the loom,
and secure the jack pin with the hex nut.
Repeat for the other shafts. Be sure to
keep the heddles oriented in the same
direction for easier threading.
