holes in the bobbin as illustrated and place

the empty bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft.

5. Pass the thread clockwise around the bobbin

winder tension discs as illustrated.

3. Place the thread through the thread guide

above the spool of thread from back to front.

4. Place the thread through the appropriate

thread guide opening for the spool pin that is

being used.

Note: When the bobbin winder button is

pushed without pushing the bobbin winder

switch to the left, the following screen is

displayed for a few seconds.

Attention: Since this machine is equipped

with an independent bobbin winder the sewing

speed controller does not effect the winding

speed. Keep fingers clear of the needle area

while winding the bobbin.

11.Remove the bobbin then cut the thread on

the thread cutter.

10.After the bobbin has wound a few turns stop

the machine and cut the thread near the hole

of the bobbin.

Continue winding the bobbin until it is full. The

motor stops automatically when the bobbin is

full.

8. Press the bobbin winding button.

9. When the bobbin winder switch is pushed to

the left and bobbin winder button is pressed,

the LCD screen will display the animation of

the bobbin winding.

Attention: Turn power switch OFF ("O")

before inserting or removing the bobbin.

Press the needle position button to raise the

needle before inserting or removing the

bobbin.

direction.

4. Pull the thread through the slot, to the left and

then right until it enters the delivery eyelet

under the tension spring.

INSERTING THE BOBBIN

6. Hold the bobbin case by the hinged latch.

Insert the bobbin case fully into the shuttle

race and release the latch.

7. Close the hinged cover.

5. Pull the bobbin thread through the metal hook

using a clockwise motion.

UPPER THREADING

Note: It is important to thread the machine correctly. Improper threading could result in

several sewing problems.

Before threading the machine, raise the needle

to its highest point and raise the presser foot

to release the tension discs.

1. Slide the spool of thread onto the spool pin so

the thread unwinds clockwise from the thread

spool. Then position the spool cap on the spool

pin to secure the spool of thread.

2. Place thread in the thread guide above the

spool of thread.

3. Place the thread through the appropriate

thread guide opening for the spool pin that is

being used.

4. Guide the thread into the pre-tension thread

guide pulling the thread through the pre-

tension spring as illustrated.

5. Pull the thread downward from the thread guide.

6. Draw the thread down through the right slot

and around the tension dial from the right to

left. Pull the thread up to insert it between the

tension disks and under the wire loop of the

check spring.

7. Bring the thread up through the left slot and

then into the slotted eye of the take-up lever

from right to left. Continue by bringing the

thread back down through the left slot.

9. Insert the end of the thread through the eye of

the needle from front to back or use the needle

threader to thread the needle. ( See next page

for needle threader instructions.)

10.Place the thread under the foot and pull out

approximately 15 cm (6 inches) of thread to

the back of the machine.

8. Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread

guide and then through the thread guide above

the needle.

2. Pivot the needle threader into the threading

position so the hook pin passes through the

needle eye.

3. Pass the thread in front of the needle to catch

the hook of the threader.

4. Hold the thread loosely and return the threader

to its original position. The hook will turn and

pull the thread through the needle eye forming

a loop.

Pull the loop of thread through the needle eye.

Raise the needle to its highest position and

lower the presser foot.

1. Lower the needle threader lever slowly and

draw the thread through the thread guide as

illustrated and then to the right.

Attention: Turn power switch to the OFF

position ("O").

Using the needle threader

If using special threads which wind quickly off

the thread spool, attach a net to the spool before

using.

* Cut the net to match the size of the spool.
