WINDING THE BOBBIN

Note: Due to the independent bobbin winder motor, you can wind the bobbin during sewing. Follow the steps for "Winding The Bobbin" except place the thread for the bobbin through the thread guide opening not in use being careful not to tangle thread.

Bobbin winding

1. Align the groove (a) in the bobbin with the spring

(b) on the bobbin winder shaft, and then place the empty bobbin on the bobbin winder shaft.

2. Place the spool of thread and spool cap onto

the spool pin. For smaller spools of thread, use the small spool cap. Spool cap should be close in size to the thread spool, however should not be any smaller. If the spool cap is smaller than thread spool, thread may get caught in the slit on end of spool and cause damage.

Note: If the thread spool does have a slit on the end, it is recommended to place this end of the spool toward the bottom, so it doesn't get caught while sewing or bobbin winding.

GETTING READY

WINDING THE BOBBIN

3. Bring the hinged thread guide up and forward

into the upright position.

4. Place the thread through the thread guide

above the spool of thread from back to front.

5. Place the thread through the appropriate

thread guide opening for the spool pin that is being used.

6. Pass the thread clockwise around the bobbin

winder tension disc, as illustrated. Make sure the thread is under the disc securely.

7. Wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin

four or five times and then pull the thread to the right to cut it with the cutter.

GETTING READY

WINDING THE BOBBIN

8. Push the bobbin winder switch to the left.

9. Press the bobbin winding button.

10.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.

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.

11.The bobbin stops spinning automatically when

it is full, and the bobbin winder switch returns to the orginal position. Remove the bobbin then cut the thread on the thread cutter.

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.

GETTING READY

INSERTING THE BOBBIN

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.

1. Open the hinged cover.

2. It is important to be sure that the bobbin is
