IMPORTANT
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed
correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, and the machine may be
damaged.
• Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing
you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size
of spool being used. If the spool cap is too
small for the spool being used, the thread may
catch on the slit in the spool or the machine
may be damaged. When using mini king thread
spool, use the thread spool insert.
For details on thread spool insert (mini king
thread spool), refer to “Note” on page 25.
Note
• When using the spool as shown below, use the
thread spool insert (mini king thread spool). Make
sure that the thread spool insert is firmly inserted.
After installing it, pull out some thread, and check
that the thread unwinds without getting caught.

Note
• Be sure to wind the thread clockwise around the
bobbin, otherwise the thread may become
wrapped around the bobbin winder shaft.
CAUTION
• Be sure to cut the thread as described. If the
bobbin is wound without cutting the thread
using the cutter built into the guide slit in the
bobbin winder seat, the thread may become
tangled in the bobbin or the needle may break
and cause injury when the bobbin thread starts
to run out.
