6-2. Installing the needles
CAUTION
Turn off the power switch before installing the needle.
However, the motor will keep turning even after the power is switched off as a result of the motor’s inertia. Wait until the
motor stops fully before starting work.
The machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
1. Turn the machine pulley until needle clamp (1) is raised to
the highest position.
2. Loosen the three set screws (2), hold the three needles (3)
with their long grooved side facing front, insert them into the
needle clamp (1) all the way, and fasten the needle with the
three set screws (2).
