Initial Setup When you receive the EEW, you need to spend a few minutes putting together some parts. No tools are required for this assembly. First, assemble the bobbins. Screw the bobbin disks onto a bobbin tube. Next, slide a bobbin onto the flyer. Put a metal bearing onto the back of the flyer and slot the whole flyer assembly into the base. - Page 5 3) Plug the other end of the USB switch into the EEW Nano 2’s power plug. 4) Plug the power supply into the wall, or if you're using a battery pack turn it on now. 5) Slowly turn the speed dial clockwise to increase the speed of the flyer.
