thread guides at the top.
When using thread that quickly feeds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, use the enclosed ring to
prevent the thread from becoming entangled.

Using Threads that Unwind
Quickly
■
Using the Spool Net
If using transparent nylon monofilament thread,
metallic thread, or other strong thread, place the
included spool net over the spool before using it.
When using specialty threads, threading must be
done manually.
If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match it to
the spool size before placing it over the spool.
Note
• Guide the thread so that it does not become
entangled with the other thread.
• After feeding the thread as instructed, wind
any excess thread back onto the spool,
otherwise the excess thread will become
tangled.

Memo
• When threading the spool with the spool net
on, make sure that 50-60 mm (approx. 2 -
2-1/2 inches) of thread are pulled out.
• It may be necessary to adjust the thread
tension when using the spool net.
