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 (mini king
thread spool).
For details on thread spool insert (mini king
thread spool), refer to “Note” on page 16.
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.
