5-9) THREAD WINDER
1) Lower thread winding
①
Insert the bobbin into the thread winder shaft as in [Fig. 5-19]. Wind the bobbin 5-6 times by hand in the
thread winding direction. Then press the start button, and the thread winding begins.
②
If the thread winding status is poor, press the stop button. Then the winding stops immediately.
2) Adjustment of bobbin thread volume
①
When winding thread around the bobbin, the thread volume should be some 80% of the bobbin size in terms of
diameter as in [Fig. 5-20].
②
Bobbin thread volume is adjusted by the thread
winder knob. When the knob is turned clockwise,
the bobbin thread gets thicker. When the knob is
turned counter-clockwise, the bobbin thread gets
thinner.

lower thread is not properly released.
2. When the lower thread is wound by 80% of
the standard bobbin size, it means some 80m.
