ASSEMBLY GUIDEERGONOMIC WEAVINGTOOLFINDING WHAT WORKSERGONOMIC WEAVING TOOL
The ergonomic weaving tool is specifically designed to reduce back pain andincrease comfort during the weaving process. Kopernik has developed this toolwith several new features while still maintaining the traditional weaving
techniques that have been passed down for generations.
The traditional tension adjuster loom, which was typically placed on theweaver's back, has been replaced with a lever mechanism that is now attachedto the ergonomic weaving tool. Additionally, the ergonomic weaving tool has
been elevated, enabling the weaver to work comfortably while sitting on a chair,providing a more comfortable weaving position. The tool is also made of sturdy,
durable materials that are easy to assemble or disassemble.
In addition to weaving, weavers can also use this tool for the neket or warping
process, which is an essential initial step in preparing and warping yarn bystrand based on color and pattern.

Before assembling the structure
Step 1
Lean the right and left frames against opposite posts or walls.

Step 2Each part of the weaving tool's frames has been labeled with a color and letter, with "A"
indicating the top and "B" indicating the bottom.
Connect each of the front and rear frames to the right and left frames based on the colorsand letter markers.
Secure each joint using nuts and bolts.

Step 3
Place the springs on the left and right sides and secure the end of the wire rope to theswing's arm iron.
To connect the wire rope, first pull it from the back to the front, then secure it with the boltthat has been installed on the swing arm. After that, test the function of the wire rope bymoving the pedal.

NEKET FEATURE INSTALLATION PROCESS
Size Adjustment
This weaving tool can be used for neket or warping process for threads that are 80-122 cm insize which will produce woven fabric with a final length of 160-244 cm. To adjust the size of thecloth you want to warp or neket, all you need is a number 19 spanner wrench, which is included with the weaving tool.

FINDING WHAT WORKS

Step 1
Loosen the bolts on the rotator blocks using a number 19 spanner wrench to increase easeof movement. Turn the rotator blocks in the neket position, which is standing upright asshown in the picture.

Step 2
Slide and position the rotator block at the desired neket size.
For neket with a size of 80 cm, position the rotator block upright directly above the N80 mark. For
neket with a size of 100 cm, position the rotator blocks upright directly above the N100 mark. For
neket with a size of 122cm, position the rotator block upright directly above the N122 mark. Make
sure the end of the turned rotator blocks bolt penetrates into the wood marked N80, N100, or N122
The tool can also be used to neket in other sizes, with the principle that the closer the distance ofthe rotator blocks to the loom bar, the larger the neket size will be.

Step 3Make sure the rotator blocks on the right and left sides are aligned properly. Then, use anumber 19 spanner wrench to tighten the bolts on both sides of the rotator blocks.
Also tighten the bolt connecting the top of the rotator.
Attach the rubber and insert the rear loom bar and tie it. Don't forget to re-tighten theposition of the loom bar with the rubber that has been attached.

Neket Post Installation
After installing the rotator blocks at the desired size, proceed with the installation of the neket
post as follows:
Step 1
Attach the neket post on the left frame, then tighten it with a bolt.
Place the lamp bar in the hole at the top of the neket post, then tighten it with a bolt.

Step 3
Before the neket process, make sure the hinges on the top front frame are securely lockedand stable. After that, the neket process can begin.

Step 1
Install the rotator blocks on the left and right frames of the weaving tool, then tighten themwith bolts. While in the extended position, release the top component of the rotator.
Before starting the weaving process, the warped yarns must be rearranged. After that, rollthe cloth that has been tied on the rear loom bar.
Step 2Loosen the lever and wind the fabric using the rear loom bar while the lever is loose. Thenkeep using the rubber bands on both sides to secure the position of the rear loom bar.

Step 3Tighten the lever mechanism and the weaving process can begin. Weaver can sit on a chair
while weaving.
The yarn table is optional. If desired, it can be used to place the weaver's accessories orother needs, such as a cell phone.
