Installing the Thread Mast 

 

Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine near the rear by 
the hand wheel. The thread mast comes with the washer and nut 
on it.  Remove the nut and washer, replace the nut onto the mast 
and then place the washer under the nut and onto the machine 
painted surface.  The washer protects the painted surface when 
the nut is tightened.  Tighten the mast clock wise until it is 
securely in place. Use the nut to secure the mast to the machine.  
 

Note:

 The eyelets of the thread mast MUST be centered over the 

spool pins – so the cone will not pull, turn or tilt causing thread 
tension problems (see Photo 4). 

 

 

 

 
 

Installing the Laser Stylus 

Begin by locating the laser stylus guide post, the laser holder and the laser 
stylus.  
 

To attach the laser stylus to the top of the machine: 

1. 

Locate the threaded hole on top of the machine near the front (see 
diagram B, #20). The laser stylus guide post comes with the 
washer and nut on it.  Remove the nut and washer, replace the nut 
onto the post and then place the washer under the nut and onto the 
machine painted surface.  The washer protects the painted surface 
when the nut is tightened.  Tighten the post clockwise until it is 
securely in place. Use the nut to secure the post to the machine.   

2. 

Be sure the laser stylus is inserted into the laser clamp. 

3. 

Slide the laser clamp over the post to the desired height. 

4. 

Plug the laser into the top port on the side of the front electronic control pod (see 
diagram C, #29). 

 

To attach the laser stylus to the side of the machine: 

1.  Place the nut on the laser stylus guide post with the washer under it 

and thread the laser guide post into the threaded hole at the front of 
the machine (see diagram A, #14), near the rear wheel base.  Turn 
until securely in place. Lock in place with lock nut – the washer will 
be under the nut to protect the machine paint (see Photo 5).  Note: 
An unused spool pin can also be used to mount the laser. 

Follow steps 2-4 above
