By turning the needle lever to its highest position with the hand wheel, the reel
187.0013 can be taken out and reinserted. Fold the reel holder flap away from
the reel capsule with a short jerk, the reel then jumps by spring pressure out of
the reel capsule so that it can be easily removed.
Threading the reel thread (Fig. 8)
When inserting the reel take care that the reel thread unwinds from the
underside of the reel. Then guide the start of the reel thread through the slot at
the right hand side of the reel capsule and hold it lightly at the stitch plate.
Then turn the hand wheel of the machine a full rotation and at the same time
hold the needle thread lightly tensioned after take up by the hook point. This
pulls the reel thread correctly under the leaf spring.
It is best to then lightly twist together the needle thread and the reel thread and
pull them together to the back through the stitch plate hole.
