(7) Inserting the Bobbin
When inserting or removing the bobbin, the
needle must be fully raised.
1.
Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with
the thread running counterclockwise
direction (arrow)
2. Pull the thread trough the slit (A)
3. Tire del hilo en el sentido de las agujas del

or removing the bobbin.
(8) Threading the Upper Thread
This is a simple operation but it is important to
carry out correctly as by not doing so several
sewing problems could result.
•
Start by raising the needle to its highest
point (1), and continue turning the
handwheel counterclockwise until
the needle just slightly begins to descend.
Raise the presser foot to release the
tension discs.
Note: For safety, it is strongly suggested
you turn off the power before threading.
•
Place the spool of thread on the spool pin.
(2)
•
Draw thread from spool through the upper
thread guide(3) and pulling thread through
pre-tension spring as illustrated.(4)
•
Thread tension module by leading thread
down right channel and up left channel.
(5) During this process it is helpful to hold
the thread between the spool and thread
guide.
•
At the top of this movement pass thread
from right to left through the slotted eye
of the take-up lever and then downwards
again.(6)
•
Now pass the thread behind the horizontal
thread guide, and then behind the thin
wire needle clamp guide (7) and then
down to the needle which should be
threaded from front to back.
•
Pull about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear
beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to
length with built in thread cutter.(8)
(9) Automatic Needle Threader
•
Raise the needle to its highest position.
•
Press lever (A) down as far as it will go.
•
The threader automatically swings to the
threading position.(B)
•
Pass thread around thread guide.(C)
•
Pass the thread in front of the needle
around the hook(D) from bottom to top.
•
Release lever (A).
•
Pull the thread through the needle eye.
Attention:
Turn power switch to off("O")!
(10) Raising the Bobbin Thread
Hold the upper thread with the left hand.
Turn the handwheel (1) towards you
(counterclockwise) lowering,then raising
needle.
Note: If it is diffcult to raise the bobbin
thread,check to make sure the thread is not
trapped by the hinged cover or the Removable
Extension Table.
Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the
bobbin thread up through the needle plate
hole.(2)
Lay both threads to the back under the presser
foot.(3)
(11) Thread Tension
Upper thread tension
Basic thread tension setting: "4".(1)
To increase the tension, turn the dial to the
next number up. To reduce the tension,turn
the dial to the next number down.
A. Normal thread tension for straight stitch
sewing.
B. Thread tension too loose for straight stitch
sewing.
Turn dial to higher number.
C. Thread tension too tight for straight stitch
sewing.
Turn dial to lower number.
D. Normal thread tension for zig zag and
decorative sewing. Correct thread tension
is when a small amount of the upper
thread appears on the bottom side of
fabric.
