SET UP

•  With the English Wheel positioned on the mounting surface 

(FIG 5)

, unbox the 

Mounting Brackets.  

NOTE:

 There are two different Mounting Brackets supplied with the Eastwood 

Elite Large Frame English Wheel. Refer to 

FIG. 1

 for recommended Bracket  

positions.

•  Remove the loose, preinstalled hardware in the bracket locations. Hold the 

Mounting Brackets in place and slide the bolt through the brackets, then refasten 
the nut and tighten to 40 foot-pounds (55 Nm) 

(FIG 5)

.

•  If mounting on a tabletop, bring the front of the mounting brackets flush with the 

table edge 

(FIG 6)

 for the best wheeling experience and clearance of the Jack-

screw. If you wish to wheel with the anvils perpendicular to the frame frequently, 
we recommend mounting it at a corner.

•  To avoid possible personal injury or tool damage, it is required to mount the frame 

securely to the work surface or frame before moving forward. 7/16” [12mm] 
through bolts or lag screws with washers should be used.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! 

  When drilling a table ensure there are no electrical wires in the 

path of the drill bit. Drilling into electrical wires could result in 
severe injury or death.

• 

Before beginning ANY work with the Eastwood Elite Large 
Frame English Wheel, it is necessary that it be fastened to a 
sturdy workbench anchored to the floor or wall.

• 

Some minor physical force and awkward positions may be 
applied to the workpiece while using The Eastwood Elite Large 
Frame English Wheel. Failure to ensure proper footing can 
quickly result in a fall which could inflict serious personal 
injury or property damage. Always work in a clean, uncluttered 
environment.

• 

Make sure there is sufficient working room around the tool to 
allow for safe handling of various sizes of metal.
