Handcuffs used to be called manacles.
The stem root for "manacles" is "manacle." The word comes from the Latin "manicula" meaning "little hand." It refers to a shackle for the hands or wrists, typically used to restrain a person.
Manacles are handcuffs such as the police use nowadays to restrain suspects. Blake is referring not to manacles made of steel but created by the mind. That is, for one can be retrained, for example, by fear or shyness etc., and that can restrain you just as effectively as fetters, handcuffs, or manacles.

Yes, they can be, but the word is sometimes used to mean something that restricts the feet. The more proper term for the foot restrictions is just schackles, but it is used incorrectly with some frequency. The way you can remember the difference is that MANacles comes from the Latin root MANus for hand.
