Cleaning the Bobbin Case
Thread wax and dust easily collect around the
notch in the tension spring on the bobbin case,
resulting in an incorrect thread tension. Therefore,
the bobbin case should be cleaned as necessary
should tension problems arise.
When cleaning the bobbin case, use card stock or
another type of paper of similar thickness and
sturdiness in order to prevent pieces of paper
tearing off and getting lodged in the bobbin case.

CAUTION
•
Never use a bobbin case that is scratched;
otherwise, the upper thread may become
tangled, the needle may break, or sewing
performance may suffer. For a new bobbin
case (part code: XE5342-101 (green marking
on the screw), XC8167-551 (no color on the
screw), XE8298-001 (gray, for bobbin work)),
contact your nearest authorized retailer.
•
Make sure that you fit the bobbin case
properly, otherwise the needle may break.
Note
• If the needle plate has been removed it is
especially important to reinstall the needle
plate and tighten the screws prior to
installing the bobbin case.
Memo
• Do not bend the tension spring. In addition,
do not use anything other than recom-
mended paper to clean the bobbin case.
