The wire spool drag brake is adjust-
ed by a 3/16” hex adjusting screw
located in the center of the spool’s
spindle. This can be adjusted if you
find the spool looses its slight drag.
To adjust, insert hex wrench into
center of wire spool spindle, tighten
brake only enough so wire spool
will not turn freely when loaded with
a full coil of wire. This adjustment
does not need to be done each time
you load the lasher with wire.
