Inserting a needle
Take care to select a needle that is suitable for the fabric, e.g. the W6

pucker as well as jersey fabrics.
Prerequisite:

unexpectedly if the foot controller is activated by, for example, a child, a
sufficiently heavy pet or accidental contact.
►
Always unplug the power plug before replacing the foot controller.

W6 Tip
Take note:
It must be ensured that the thread take-up lever, covered by the head

In order to fulfil this requirement, press the “Needle Up - Needle Down”
button downwards 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.
