2-2 Replacing the needle
When replacing the needle, check the needle carefully
to see that the scarf is turned to the left of the machine
(see the illustration).
< Note >
When replacing the needle, be sure to turn off the
machine. A clutch motor continues running for a while
after the machine is turned off. Therefore keep on
pressing the pedal until the machine stops.
2-3 To thread the machine
Thread the machine correctly by referring to pages 3 to 4.
Incorrect threading may cause skip stitching, thread breakage and/or uneven stitch
formation. When threading the looper, tilt the looper holder toward the front of the
machine using the looper drawing bar.

1.
Bring needle bar A to the top
of its stroke.
2.
Pay out the needle thread
from the spool by pressing a
finger down on needle threads
B.
3.
Open looper eyelet.
4.
Pull drawing lever D out to the
arrow mark as shown in the
illustration so that the looper
holder is tilted toward the
front of machine.
5.
After the machine is threaded,
replace the looper by pressing
looper holder E into the
machine until it clicks.
< Note >
The looper pops out of the machine
as soon as lever D is pulled, so do
not bring your fingers close to the
looper.
