For safety, turn off the power before threading the machine.
1. Start by turning the handwheel (A) toward you
to raise the needle (B) and the thread take up
lever (C). You should be able to see the take up
lever.
2.
Raise the presser foot lifter.
This is
necessary in order for the machine to be
threaded correctly.
3. Place the thread spool and spool cap onto the
spool holder.
4. Draw thread from the spool through the upper
thread guide at the top of the machine. Hold the
thread with both hands and pull it into the pre-
tension guide.
5. (A) Bring the thread down the right channel,
around the U-turn, and up the left channel.
(B) At the top of the left channel, hook the
thread
from back to front through the slotted eye
of the
thread take-up lever. If the thread does
not pass
into the eye of the take-up lever, the
machine will
jam. After threading the take-up
lever, bring the
thread downward again.
(C) Pass the thread behind the metal thread
guide and then down to the needle.
6. To thread the needle manually,
thread it from
front to back. Pull about 6-8
inches of thread to
the back beyond the needle
eye.
