Adjustable speed control, up to 1200 rps,120 volts, forward and reverse. 5/8" orifice. Beautifully made from dark Tasmanian myrtle, the Combo model includes three bobbins (2 standard 5-ounce and one Jumbo), a flyer with single sliding hook that accommodates all bobbins and a built-in 2-bobbin lazy Kate. (New models now also feature a plug-in socket for the optional pause control.) The Roberta weighs only 12 lbs. and is easily transported. Dimensions: 8 1/2"high by 10 1/2" wide and 11" deep. 10-year warranty on the electric motor; one year warranty on everything else.

Options: carry bag, Pause Control, choice of single or dual power output (120 volt and 12 volt so you can use your spinner in the car). See below.

How you operate the Roberta: there are three controls on all models, on/off, forward/reverse and a speed control knob. For spinning you would normally set the wheel to forward and then turn it on. You will adjust the speed as you begin spinning to achieve the yarn twist you require. For the remainder of the time you are spinning, there will be no need to adjust the speed. To stop spinning, you turn the wheel off.

See downloads below for Use and Maintenance Instructions & Additional Operation Instructions for Roberta.

If you have the optional Pause Control, it works in the following manner: it acts as an on/off switch only. It is set to the "on" position all the time, meaning your wheel is operating. If you want to temporarily turn your wheel off, just push the switch with your foot and hold it. When you remove your foot, the wheel begins to spin again. Such a switch allows you to start and stop spinning without having to use your hand or the on/off switch that is on the wheel. This switch is not a speed control. When you have finished spinning, you must turn off the wheel using the switch on the wheel.
