7. Maintenance 

Changing the Needle(s)

Note:

#365A017  needle  is  a  very  special  needle  and  is

exclusive  for  the  Embellisher  machine.  See  your  Baby
Lock retailer for replacement needles.

Caution:

When changing needle(s), unplug the power cord

from the electrical outlet.

1.  Open  lamp  cover  and  remove  finger  guard.  (see  page

4.)

2. Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is at the highest

position and then lower the cloth presser lifter lever.

3. Lower the cloth presser to the lowest position by turning

the cloth presser height adjusting screw clockwise.

4. While holding the needle clamp holder, loosen the nee-

dle  clamp  fixing  screw  by  turning  the  large  2mm  allen
screwdriver counter-clockwise.

5.  Lower  the  needle  clamp  holder  slowly  into  the  cloth

presser. The needles  must not touch the cloth  presser.
Tilt the needle clamp holder slightly forward and remove
it from the machine.

6.  To  remove  the  individual  outer  needles,  loosen  the

needle fixing screw on the needle clamp holder by turn-
ing  the  small  1.5mm  allen  screwdriver  counter-clock-
wise  and  remove  the  needle(s)  by  using  tweezers.
Insert  the  new  needle(s)  until  the  top  of  the  needle
touches  the  top  of  the  needle  hole. Tighten  the  needle
fixing  screw  with  the  small  1.5mm  allen  screwdriver  by
turning  the  allen  screw  clockwise.  Center  needle  is
replaced  by  loosening  the  center  needle  fixing    screw,
replace needle and then tightening the screw.

Note:

#365A017  needles  do  not  have  a  front  or  back,

therefore, you can insert the shank of the needle in any
direction.

7. When replacing the needle clamp holder, make sure the

needle bar is in its highest position. Tilt the needle clamp
holder  so  the  needles  will  slide  into  the  cloth  presser
and slide the clamp up onto the needle bar until the red
mark  on  the  needle  bar  and  needle  clamp  holder  align.
Tighten  the  needle  clamp  fixing  screw  by  turning  with
the  large  2mm  allen  screwdriver  clockwise. Adjust  the
cloth presser to desired height.

8. Replace finger guard and close lamp cover.
