Installing the Thread Mast
Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine near the rear by
the hand wheel. The thread mast comes with the washer and nut
on it. Remove the nut and washer, replace the nut onto the mast
and then place the washer under the nut and onto the machine
painted surface. The washer protects the painted surface when
the nut is tightened. Tighten the mast clock wise until it is
securely in place. Use the nut to secure the mast to the machine.
Note: The eyelets of the thread mast MUST be centered over the
spool pins – so the cone will not pull, turn or tilt causing thread
tension problems (see Photo 4).
Installing the Laser Stylus
Begin by locating the laser stylus guide post, the laser holder and the laser
stylus.
To attach the laser stylus to the top of the machine:
1. Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine near the front (see
diagram B, #20). The laser stylus guide post comes with the
washer and nut on it. Remove the nut and washer, replace the nut
onto the post and then place the washer under the nut and onto the
machine painted surface. The washer protects the painted surface
when the nut is tightened. Tighten the post clockwise until it is
securely in place. Use the nut to secure the post to the machine.
2. Be sure the laser stylus is inserted into the laser clamp.
3. Slide the laser clamp over the post to the desired height.
4. Plug the laser into the top port on the side of the front electronic control pod (see
diagram C, #29).
To attach the laser stylus to the side of the machine:
1. Place the nut on the laser stylus guide post with the washer under it
and thread the laser guide post into the threaded hole at the front of
the machine (see diagram A, #14), near the rear wheel base. Turn
until securely in place. Lock in place with lock nut – the washer will
be under the nut to protect the machine paint (see Photo 5). Note:
An unused spool pin can also be used to mount the laser.
