Threading
Push the metal thread tubes up from behind the head, and
remove the magnetic strips from the front of the heads.
Place a cone of thread onto the stand and push the first
few inches of thread into the supply tube. Use a can of
compressed air to blow the thread through the supply tube.
If you do not have compressed air, use the clear monofil-
ament (approximately 24" or 70cm long) provided in the
operator’s kit. There is a small hole behind the preten-
sioners; Push the monofilament into this hole and up
through the supply tube, then “hook” the thread on the
cut and pull the thread through the tube.
