Needle Up - Needle Down button
Safety instruction: Material damage caused by incorrect needle position
Before threading or any use of the threader, take care that the needle is in
the top-most position.
Failure to do so will result in material damage to the sewing machine.
W6 Tip
Take note:
It must be ensured that the thread take-up lever, covered by the head
cover, and the needle are in a particular position before threading and any
program change.
In order to fulfil this requirement, press the “Needle Up - Needle Down”
button twice. The thread take-up lever and the needle are moved
automatically to the correct starting position.
•
Failure to do so will always lead to a sloppy seam, blockages or damage
to the sewing machine. In the event of any lack of clarity, further informa-
tion can be found at the VIDEO menu item at www.w6-wertarbeit.eu: Cri-
teria for optimal threading.
The lower thread has been pulled tightly and carefully to the 7 and 9 o’clock
positions in the silver slot of the black hook race. When pulling it in, you will
hear a definite clicking at the 7 and 9 o’clock positions. Lower thread
tension is active. You have performed a tension test.

Needle Up - Needle Down button
The position of the needle is moved upwards or downwards by means of
the
‹Needle Up - Needle Down›
button. If you press the button when the
needle is at the top, it is lowered. If you press the button when the needle is
at the top, it is raised simultaneously with the thread take-up lever.
W6 Tip
If the needle is in the bottom position, the indicator lamp lights up.
Only if the thread take-up lever is in the top-most position it is possible for
the upper thread to be threaded correctly, see „What do I do with the upper
thread?“ > „Threading the upper thread“ (Page 68).
