HOW TO WIND THE BOBBIN
Turn the clutch in the center of the hand wheel (Fig. 7)
toward you to disengage the sewing mechanism. Place
a spool of thread on the spool pin on the bed of the
machine (Fig. 8). Pass thread through tension disc A.
Insert thread through a hole on edge of bobbin and
place bobbin on spindle (B) of winder. Be sure that
the notch in the bobbin fits over the small pin on the
spindle. Place pulley (C) against hand wheel by press
ing lever (D) and
set machine in
motion. When
the bobbin is
fully wound, the
action of the
winder stops
automatically.
Remove from
spindle and cut
off loose thread
end used to start Fig. 8
winding.
If the bobbin winds unevenly, adjust the bobbin wind
ing tension disc (A) to the right or left by loosening
the screw. When the disc is in the proper position,
Fig. 7
tighten screw. Before starting to sew again, tighten
clutch by turning it away from you.
