TO SET NEEDLE
Raise the lieedle-bar to its highest point; loosen the thumb-screw
and press it to the left to permit the shank of the needle to pass up
between the clamp and needle-bar as far a sit will go, flat side to the
RIGHT—the NEEDLE being flatened on one side so it will set itself per
fectly, then fasten securely by tightening thumb-screw.
To avoid loosening of the needle, ahoays use a screw driver to
fasten the same, the needle nut bemg slotted for that purpose.
The needle, when descending, should pass central in the needle
hole from front to rear, but close to the right side of the hole, as it
prevents the needle from glancing into the race and being caught by
the shuttle.
NEEDLES AND THREAD TO BE USED
The MOST IMPORTANT consideration is to buy and use perfect nee
dles—not bent, nor blunt points.
When ordering needles for this machine, be sure to ask for the
genuine White Rotary flat shank needles which are stamped on the
shank “White F. R.” Imitation or “just as good” needles will cause
trouble. Get the genuine White.

The following index will show the size of needle, thread and silk
to be used.
For colored thread use needles one size larger than given in in

TO REMOVE BOBBIN CASE
FROM SHUTTLE
Raise the take-up to its highest
point. With the thumb and second
finger of left hand clasp bobbin case
as shown in cut, then lift latch S
with the third finger, when bobbin
case may be readily withdrawn
from shuttle
TO REMOVE SHUTTLE FROM SHUTTLE RACE
First remove the bobbin case. Turn the machine back on its
hinges, then turn the machine in the same direction as in sewing
until the point of the needle just enters the needle plate hole; push
on rear end of latch G and at the same time pull shuttle race cover
away from shuttle and toward latch G from under pin H; the shut
tle can now be removed.
When shuttle has been removed from race be sure to clean both,
and oil the race slightly before replacing. Occasionally oil slightly
in hole on race cap marked V above and pin W in shuttle, see page

Turn the machine in direction for sewing until the point of the
needle just enters the needle plate hole; take the shuttle by the
center pin W with the left hand and place it in the race, so that
point of shuttle will be fi’om you and over arrow on thread cast off,
so that the holes in the shuttle will drop on to driving pins in race,
then replace the shuttle race cover.
DO NOT FORCE the shuttle into race. It will enter readily

Should the machine at any time act badly in sewing or running
it would be well to remove shuttle and clean it and the race, which
is but a moment’s work.
To replace the bobbin case, it need not be held as when remov
ing, but simply slip it on the pin in shuttle, with the tension project
ing upward, and push it into shuttle as far as it will go, when the
spring latch will pass over and retain it in that position.
The thread should be allowed to project about one inch from

right to tighten, and to the left to loosen the same.
TO THREAD BOBBIN CASE TENSION
Place bobbin in case so that thread will come from bobbin on
same side as hole B in bobbin case; pass thread through slot A to
hole B thence across opening, drawing it down under lip C then
pull it up until thread passes out under tension spring D.
The tension on bob
bin case should be the
same as the upper ten
sion.

Note.~T}o not run the machine with
the presser-foot down on the feed without
cloth under it. Do not pull cloth cc or from
you in such a manner as to bend the needle.

the right, moving the pointer towards No. 8. By this means the
;same tension can always be duplicated, thus obviating the necessity
•of experimental trials, as is the case with other machines. If a tight
tension is desired, both upper and under threads must necessarily be
tight. If the upper thread is tight and the lower thread loose, the
upper thread will be drawn to the top thus: If the
lower thread is too tight, it will be drawn straight on the bottom of
goods, thus: \ When you desire the goods to look alike
nn both sides, and be elastic, balance the tension thus:
THE TENSION RELEASER
, The tension releaser is operated by the presser-bar lifter. By
means of it, all tension is taken off the upper thread when the
presser-f oot is raised, and the work can be taken out without pulling
the thread down by band.
^PARTICULAR NOTICE—The tension cannot he regulated when the lifter
is up because the Releaser is operated by the presser-bar lif ter,
