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

Fig. 3

correct position.

HOW TO WIND THE BOBBIN

Turn the 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 threexl

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 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 lojse thread end used to start winding. Before starting to sew

again, tighten clutch by turning it away from you.

If the bobbin winds unevenly, adjust the bobbin winding

tension disc (A) to the right or left by loosening the screw.

When the disc is in the proper position, tighten screw.
