Setting steps
1. Loosen the cover screw (3).
2. Push the cover (2) downwards.

spool housing and the recess in the throat plate is just big enough to
allow the needle thread to slip through without a problem.
Important:
The gap must not be so big that the middle part of the hook
swings to and fro, hitting the recess in the throat plate.

6. Push the cover (2) upwards.
7. Tighten the cover screw (3).
Risk of injury
