While R' Moshe Feinstein ZT"L<ref>Sefer Tiltulei [[Shabbos]] 1: footnote 36 </ref> prohibits it on the account that it is similar to winding a watch that has stopped (which is prohibited), there are many others who are lenient, as unlike a watch, when a swing is not in motion it is not considered "broken", so winding it up is not considered "fixing" it.<ref>Shemirat Shabbat KeHilchata 17:39</ref> See [[Electricity_on_Shabbat#Watches]] and [[Makeh Bpatish]] and for more details. | ||
