Here's what it says... =========================== #282 APSCO LOOPING MACHINE Hardened blocks and hook resist wear from piano wire. Easy to use. Just clamp wood block securely in a vise and it is ready to use. Follow these simple instructions: 1. Adjust sliding block to length of loop desired. You can adjust the length of the loop by sliding block to desired position. 2. Insert wire in hole of sliding block until wire protrudes about 1/4" through the bottom of block. 3. Loop the wire around the hook in counter-clockwise direction and return wire to hardened block. 4. Clamp the wire in blocks by holding handle down firmly. (Do not allow wire to slip.) 5. Turn crank clockwise until you have the twist you desire. (Tight or loose.) 6. Open blocks and while holding wire end, continue to turn slowly until the wire coils on loop end. 2 or 3 turns make an ideal loop. 7. Remove loop and trim excess wire. Now you have a consistent and professional looking loop. Practice makes perfect, and with a little experimenting you will find, you too, can make professional appearing loops.
