Adjusting The Upper Thread Tension; Inserting The Bobbin Thread Reel; Fetching The Bobbin Thread; Winding Up The Bobbin - CTC CLATRONIC NM 3466 Mode D'emploi

Adjusting the upper thread tension (14)

The basic setting is between 4 and 5.
Depending on fabric and thread size, adjust by turning the
control (14) so that the knot of the upper and the bobbin thread
can be recognized as a spot on the upper side of the fabric. If
you see loops the thread tension is too loose.
Inserting the bobbin thread reel (Fig. L)
1. When inserting or removing the bobbin thread reel (33), the
needle has to be lifted completely. Turn the hand wheel (4)
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Pull off the table top horizontally from the machine. Pull the
transparent looper cover out towards the front.

3. Insert the bobbin into the
looper, having the reel turn-
ing clockwise (see right Fig.
on the looper cover). Let
5 cm of the thread stay out.
4. Slide in again the looper
cover.

Fetching the bobbin thread

1. Lift the presser foot (10), hold the upper thread with your
left hand and turn the hand wheel with the right hand in the
direction of the arrow until the needle has arrived at the top
again (one complete turn of the hand wheel).
2. Pull the upper and the bobbin thread 10 cm towards the
back. You can use scissors for this, for example.
Winding up the bobbin (Fig. M and N)
CAUTION:
Remove the upper thread completely out of the machine.
Otherwise, it would wind around the inner parts and block the
machine.
NOTE:
You control the amount of the bobbin thread to be wound up
by turning the bobbin winder edge guide (3). To the left: less
thread on the reel.
1. Place an empty reel (33) onto the bobbin winder shaft (2).
2. Place a thread reel onto the thread reel holder (20).
3. Guide the thread via the thread guide (18) to the empty
reel.
