SETTING THE NEEDLE
See Fig. 3. Raise the needle bar A to its
highest point, turning wheel toward you by hand.
Then loosen the needle clamp sc^ew B and
the needle can be inserted into clamp C. Place
needle (flat side to right) in the needle clamp
and push it upward as far as it will go into the
needle clamp hole, tightening the needle clamp
screw securely with a screw driver.
After changing needle make one complete revolution
of balance wheel by hand to be sure the needle is in the
correct position.
HOW TO WIND THE BOBBIN
Turn tne clutch in the center of the hand wheel (Fig. 4) toward ^
you to disengage the sewing mechanism. Place a spool of thread
on the spool pin on the bed of the machine (Fig. 5). 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 (G) against hand wheel
by pressing 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 winding. Before starting to sew
again, tighten clutch by turning it away from you.
When the disc is in the proper position, tighten screw.
