1. Raise the needle to the highest position by turning the
handwheel toward you.
2. Using the screwdriver from the accessory pouch, loosen the
needle screw for the needle to be changed. "L" screw for the
left needle and "R" screw for the right needle as show in
illustration A. Note: To prevent the needle from falling into the
needle plate, hold it with the needle insert tool as you loosen
the needle screw. (fig.A)
3. Use the needle insert tool or tweezers to insert the new
needle with the flat side to the back. Insert the needle as far
as it will go. Check the needle viewing window. (fig.A)
4. Tighten the needle screw.
Note:
If you do drop a needle down into the machine just pull out
the needle-drop drawer at the bottom of the serger. The needle
will be on the drawer. (fig.B)
The fixed blade is made of a special long lasting steel and does
not require frequent replacement. If necessary, contact your
nearest Baby Lock retailer for replacement of the blade.
The upper moving blade is made of a softer steel material and
will require replacement. A spare blade is provided with the
machine for replacement if necessary. The spare blade is locat-
ed on the thread spool stand accessory compartment.
If for some reason your machine does not cut or perform as it
should, please take your machine to your nearest Baby Lock
retailer. It is possible that the result of poor cutting may indicate
other problems.
