Fix an iron tting A on each of the 4 legs . Make sure they are positioned exactly as shown in the diagram
below.
Put a 3/16” (5mm) steel washer between the iron tting and the leg. Screw them in using the 3/4” (20mm)
round-headed screw No. 12. Do not over tigten so the iron can move freely.
The screw must be inserted into the smallest hole of the iron tting.

Place the loom frame on its right side. Fix the left front A and rear B legs to the left side of the frame with a
5/16” x 2¾” (8mm x 70mm) carriage bolt. With a hammer, hit on the head of the bolt until it is even with the
leg B. Cross the legs so that the lower end of the leg B is towards the back and the lower end of the leg A is
towards the front. Add a steel washer and screw a 5/16” (8mm) lock nut in without overtightening it.
You must feel light resistance when you swivel the legs.
