Page 3: Instructions For Assembly
Instructions for assembly After you have taken the loom out of the box, remove the cardboard buffers and wrapped paper. Open the hardware box which contains: - 2 beam handles - 4 buffers - 2 black star knobs - 4 dowels with a buffer - 2 screws 5 x 50 mm - 2 screws 4 x 35 mm - 12 screws 4 x 15 mm... - Page 4 Install the star knobs onto the threaded ends that protrude from the slots in the beater supports. When the neck of the knob is screwed into the hole at the end of the slots, the loom is locked in the unfolded position and there is no need to tighten the knobs too tightly.
- Page 5 Attach onto each, cloth and warp beam, three Texsolv cords, using the eight remaining screws. Push the screw through the cord loops; if you screw them through, the thread may damage the cord. Attach the cords in the direction that is blocked by the ratchet. Make loops in the cords and insert the apron bars.
- Page 6 Slip a bundle of heddles onto one of these incomplete shafts and untie the bundle. Count the number of heddles that you will need on a shaft and cut them apart, using a pair of sharp scissors. Insert the bars of another shaft through the separated bundle and move the heddles from the first shaft bars.
- Page 7 Press the ends of the shaft bars onto the bottom of the shaft sides as shown in the picture. Assemble all eight shafts the same way. On each shaft, cut the loops that connect the heddles. Make a knot at one end of each elastic cord at about 1 cm (5/8 inch).
- Page 8 Jane, which has a carrying handle. The 70 cm Jane does not have such a handle because it is too wide to comfortably carry the loom in that way. The 70 cm Jane can best be carried by turning it 90 degrees and hold it using the cross member of the castle.
- Page 9 A shaft cord has to be attached to the toggles. Start with the toggle for the eighth shaft; when the loom is in the upside down position shown in the picture, it is the one at the left. Take a nylon cord in the middle and thread it through the hole of the toggle.
- Page 10 Both ends of the cord have to go between the pair of rollers that line up with the first toggle. Lead the ends of the cord to both sides in a way so that they are not twisted. Lead the elastic cord of the shaft over the rollers at the top (normally the bottom) of the loom.
- Page 11 Attach the cord to the eye of the sides of a shaft. Use the knot shown in the picture: Insert the cord from the inside, where the eye has a sharp edge, so the cord crosses itself at the outside. Adjust the position of the shaft as shown on the picture by changing the length of the nylon cord.
- Page 12 Again, lead the cord ends to both sides. The picture shows how one cord end runs in front of the pair of rollers used by the cord installed previously. After you have connected all shafts with their toggles, the cords will form the pattern shown in the picture.
- Page 13 If necessary, you can adjust the plastic pieces with a screw as shown on the picture. Using the pilot holes, screw the four buffers onto the side of the loom. When folded, Jane can stand on this side.
- Page 14 Before you fold the loom again, you have to pull all the toggles down, so all shafts are lifted. If there is a warp on the Jane, you have to release the tension by taking the ratchet out of the ratchet wheel on the cloth beam.

Maintenance The Jane requires no special maintenance. However we do advise checking the tightness of the screws of the frame after a couple of months. This is particularly important when the loom is standing in a dry environment. -

Trouble shooting The shed is too small Possible cause: - The fabric has to be advanced. The handles are hard to lift Probably the tension of the warp is too high. Possible causes: - The fabric has to be advanced. - You left the lease sticks in the warp between the shafts and the back beam.
