Changing Needle

CAUTION:

Turn off the power switch when changing a needle.

Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you

and lower the presser foot.

Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it counter-

clockwise.

Remove the needle from the clamp.

Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat side

away from you.

When inserting the needle into the clamp, push it up as

far as it will go and tighten the clamp screw firmly with the

screwdriver.

* Check your needles frequently for barbed or

blunted points. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and

silk-like fabrics are permanent and are almost always

caused by a damaged needle.

Place the flat side of the needle on something flat (needle

plate, glass etc.). The clearance between the needle and

flat surface should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt

needle.
