Replacing Needles
Replacing Cutting Blades
1. Raise the needle to the highest position by turning the
handwheel toward you.
2. Using the screwdriver from the accessory pouch, loos-
en the needle screw for the needle to be changed. "L"
screw for the left needle and "R" screw for the right
needle as show in illustration A.
Note:
To prevent the needle from falling into the needle
plate, hold it with the needle insert tool as you loosen the
needle screw. (fig. A)
3. Use the needle insert tool or tweezers to insert the new
needle with the flat side to the back. Insert the needle
as far as it will go. Check the needle viewing window.
(fig. A)
4. Tighten the needle screw.
Note:
If you do drop a needle down into the machine just
pull out the needle-drop drawer at the bottom of the serg-
er. The needle will be on the drawer. (fig. B)
The lower fixed blade is made of a special long lasting steel
and does not require frequent replacement.
If necessary, contact your nearest baby lock retailer for
replacement of this blade.
The upper moving blade is made of a softer steel material
and will require replacement. A spare blade is provided
with the machine for replacement, if necessary. The spare
blade is located in the thread spool stand accessory com-
partment.
If for some reason your machine does not cut or perform as
it should, please take your machine to your nearest baby
lock retailer. It is possible that the result of poor cutting
may indicate other problems.
To replace the upper moving blade,
follow below instruc-
tions.
1. For safety reasons, unplug main power cord.
2. Open front cover and cutting blade cover. (fig. A)
Remove presser foot.
3. Turn handwheel so upper moving blade is in its highest
position.
4. Remove screw and upper blade. (fig. B)
5. Insert new blade into blade slot.
6. Insert screw and hold moving blade in its highest posi-
tion while tightening the screw.
7. To finalize position of upper blade, turn handwheel so
that the moving blade is in its lowest position. Loosen
the screw so that the moving blade can be lowered to
1mm overlap of the top of the fixed blade. (fig. C) Tight-
en the screw.
8. Close cutting blade cover and front cover. Replace the
presser foot.
9. Rotate the handwheel one turn to ensure smooth oper-
ation of the machine.
