TN-1341 INSTRUCTION MANUAL
THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
The TN-1341 is equipped with a dual tension unit which allows the machine to not only expand the
range of threads the machine can handle, but also offers the operator to have more control over
thread tensions.
The first thread guide on the machine is important for one simple reason. It controls the threads
and ensures that no mater what thread you are using, it will stay comfortably in the tension units.
1.
For common threads, it is only necessary to thread this guide through any two holes on this
guide.
2.
The curlier or twisted the thread is, it is important to thread through more of the holes in
the guide like in the picture.
3.
Pay attention to certain threads
(traditionally heavier threads) that should
not go through all the holes on this guide.
Doing so will increase the thread tension
and can cause issues.
4.
Follow the thread path as shown in Fig 17
in order.
5.
Pay close attention to make sure the
thread passes through each tension unit
and between the tension discs.
