IF THE CRANK STOPS TURNING,
IT MAY BE BECAUSE...
... the operating switch is set to “Plain
knitting”
... the thread is not inserted correctly. In which
case simply start again, following the instructions.
... remnants of yarn are stuck between the needle
and the shank. These can be plucked out out using
the plastic needle or a pair of tweezers.
IF STITCHES ARE DROPPED ...
... the crank was turned too fast.
... the thread was held too loosely.
... the thread was not properly caught on the
needle. So always watch the run of the yarn when
knitting. In this case, simply pick up the stitch-
es again with the plastic needle (as you would in
normal knitting) and pull it over the needle.
THE CRANK IS DIFFICULT TO TURN, BECAUSE ...
... the knitting yarn is set up too tightly. Remove
the yarn and thread it back again. Hold it loosely
as you do so and unwind the first few centimetres
from the ball before you knit the first row.
... the needles are damaged. Replace them follow-
ing the manufacturer’s instructions.
... the yarn has slipped over the needle heads and
must be properly repositioned.
TO CHANGE NEEDLES ...
... loosen the 4 ring holder screws with a Phillips
precision screwdriver, carefully lift the black ring
holder, hold the red insert from the inside and
lift it up, unscrew the 2 inner screws and remove
the high black cylinder. Now gently lift out the
damaged needles, replace them with the nee-
dles supplied and put the pieces back together in
reverse order.
