18 – GETTING READY TO SEW
Threading Loopers with the Looper
Threading Wire or Standard Thread
When sewing with specialty threads (such as wooly nylon),
it can be easier to thread the loopers using any of the below
ways:
• Use the looper threading wire
• Tie the specialty thread to standard overlock thread and
pull through the loopers.
Using the Looper Threading Wire
Set the Threading/Sewing switch to “Threading” position (A)
by turning it to the right.
Turn the handwheel slowly toward you until the mark on the
wheel matches the mark on the cover (B). The hand wheel will
click and is locked in threading position.
Thread the upper/lower looper threads up to the front of the
looper threading hole.
Take the looper threading wire and push the straight end (not
the loop end) through the looper threader hole until it comes
out from the the hole of the looper tip (C).
Pass approximately 2˝ (5 cm) of thread through the loop of
the looper threading wire (D).
Carefully pull the end of the looper threading wire until the
thread comes out from the hole of the looper tip.
Remove the thread from the looper threading wire.
Set the Threading/Sewing switch to “Sewing” position.
Pull 4˝ (10 cm) of the thread under the toe of the foot, and
back between the presser fot foot and the upper knife.
Close the front cover and lower the presser foot lifter.
Note: Do not raise or lower the looper thread lever while threading.
Note: Raise the presser foot lifter for easier threading.
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
