Summary of Contents for Bam Fiber Works Busy Butler
- Page 1 Busy Butler Manual...
- Page 2 Congratulations on your new purchase! This picker will vastly speed up your fiber processing time. You will appreciate the ease of operation and the flexibility it offers with different types of fiber. We encourage you to experiment with different adjustments until you find the setting that works best for the fiber you are putting through the picker.
- Page 3 Get to know your picker Take some time to get to know your picker. All parts mentioned in the manual can be identified by referring to the illustrations below.
- Page 4 This picker is designed so your hands will never have to come in contact with the points. To get started place the front end of the picker towards you. The front of picker is the end with the logo “BAM Fiber Works” stamped on the safety guard.
- Page 5 Fold down safety guards. Latch rear safety guard down as shown.
- Page 6 It’s important the Slider is positioned the correct direction inside the picker. The vertical line on the front of the slider should be towards the front of the picker and facing away from the back as shown below. With the Slider pushed to the back of the picker, place a small amount of fiber between the front two rows of points.
- Page 7 Cleaning Your Picker After a lot of use, debris from the fiber will fall to the bottom of the picker and needs to be cleaned out. To clean the picker, slide a newspaper or something similar under the middle of the picker to catch the debris. Use a brush to sweep the debris into the Waste Slot in the middle of the picker.
- Page 8 Adjusting Your Picker It is very important that your picker is adjusted properly for the types of fiber you send through it. The picker needs to be set less aggressively for finer fibers and more aggressively for coarser fibers. Determining the picker setting for your types of fiber will require some experimenting.
- Page 9 If the points knock against each other when you swing the rocker, you need to make an adjustment. This typically happens after the height has been changed. To fix this, raise or lower evenly both adjustment knobs one side of the picker until the points align properly again.
- Page 10 Notes: Here you can make notes on which setting works best for each type of fiber you send through. (Example: Romney wool, X turns from lowest adjustment) 1.___________________________________________________________________ 2.___________________________________________________________________ 3.___________________________________________________________________ 4.___________________________________________________________________ 5.___________________________________________________________________ 6.___________________________________________________________________ 7.___________________________________________________________________ 8.___________________________________________________________________ 9.___________________________________________________________________ 10.__________________________________________________________________ 11.__________________________________________________________________ 12.__________________________________________________________________ 13.__________________________________________________________________ 14.__________________________________________________________________ 15.__________________________________________________________________ 16.__________________________________________________________________...
