Do not force the tool and do not use the tool for a purpose for which it is not intended. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users. Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools Do not use until repaired. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. SKU 95359 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-335 Page 3

Unpack the English Wheel components on the floor where the unit will be located and mounted. The floor must be able to support the weight of the English Wheel and the work pieces.

Securely tighten Nuts and Bolts with a wrench (not supplied). With the help of at least two other people, lift the assembled Frame (1) so that it is upright and balanced on the Back Stand (17). The Frame must be supported until the total Frame assembly is complete, and all Nuts and Bolts securely tightened. Slide the Front Stand (15) under the Front Tube (16) so that the mounting holes align. Insert two Bolts (25), with two Washers (24), into the holes of the Front Tube (16) and Front Stand (15). From the bottom of the Front Stand (15), insert Plate (18) over the Bolts, and secure with two Washers (24) and two Nuts (26). Hand tighten. Attach the unsecured end of the Link Bracket (19) to the Front Stand (15) using two Bolts (35), four Washers (24), and two Nuts (26). Securely tighten all assembled frame components with a wrench (not supplied). Assemble Eccentric Shaft (7) and Handle (6) with Screw (33). Insert Steel Tube (5) into the Bottom Die Yoke (8).

1 1 1 1 1 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. Screw Knob (4) into the threaded hole on Frame (1). Lift and turn Steel Tube (5) assembly so the Knob (4) seats into the slot of Steel Tube (5). Tighten Knob (4). Insert Eccentric Shaft (7), with Handle (6), into the hole of Bottom Dies Yoke (8). Thread each Handle Lever (20) into the Thread Rod (14). Securely tighten. Thread on Ball Handles(21). Screw Thread Rod (14) into the bottom of Frame (1). Its threads will set into Steel Tube (5) already installed in Frame (1). Assembly the Top Die (2) with Bearing (9) on each side. Place into the top of Frame (1). Secure in place with Shaft (3), two Washers (22), and Nut (31). Securely tighten. Mount Bottom Die Rack (13) to Frame (1) and Back Stand (17) using two Bolts (28), Washers (29), and Nuts (30). Securely tighten. Mount the Lock Bracket (12) onto the Bottom Die Rack (13) using Bolt (34), Washer (29), and Nut (30). Securely tighten. Install Bearing (9) and Shaft (10) in each Bottom Die (11-1 thru 11-6). Open the Lock Bracket (12) and place each Bottom Die on the Bottom Die Rack (13). Each Bottom Die has its size stamped on it. Place in order of size on the rack. With the help of two other people, slide the assembled English Wheel to the location where it will be mounted to the floor. Measure the size of the mounting holes in the Front Stand (15) and Back Stand (17), then drill appropriate size holes in the floor to accommodate the mounting hardware (not supplied). Operation Instructions Warning: Metal edges can be very sharp. Avoid injuries by wearing ANSI approved safety equipment. Select the Bottom Die from the Bottom Die Rack (13), and place on the Bottom Die Yoke (8). When selecting the Bottom Die, consider the type and hardness of the metal being formed, as well as, the desired curvature of the metal. Insert the work piece in between the Top Die and the Bottom Die. Turn the Thread Rod (14) to raise or lower the Bottom Die Yoke for appropriate clearance (or pinching) of the metal between the two dies. It is recommended to have a looser pinch than a tighter one. A tighter pinch will make it harder to push the metal through and may cause unwanted creasing. A looser pinch makes it easier to push the metal through, and with more accuracy. Although, it may take more passes to form the metal. Turn Knob (4) clockwise until tight. Begin forming the metal by pushing and pulling it over the dies. 6. If small distance adjustments are required between the dies, loosen Knob (4) and turn Handle (6). This moves the Eccentric Shaft (7) to slightly raise or lower the Bottom Die. Tighten Knob (4) again before proceeding. SKU 95359 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-335 Page 6
