Threading main unit using thread spindle:
Adult supervision and assistance required.
1.
Remove protective cover by removing the screw and bolt
with a screwdriver (not included).
2.
Raise thread spindle
(C)
by grasping the exposed top and
pulling upward until thread spindle
(C)
is fully extended.
3.
Place thread spool
(E)
on the thread spindle
(C)
as shown.
4.
Pull thread from the thread spool
(E)
on the thread spindle
(C)
and put it through the first thread guide
(1)
in the direction
toward the front of the machine.
5.
Bring the thread across to the second thread guide
(2)
.
Thread goes over the tension adjusting screw
(N)
and must be positioned
between the two washers behind the tension adjusting screw
(N)
.
This is what provides the lockstitch tension to the thread.
6.
Pull thread from tension adjusting screw
(N)
guide through thread guide
(3)
in the direction toward front of machine.
7.
Pull thread through thread guide
(4)
on the take-up lever
(D)
inserting in the
direction toward the front of the machine.
8.
Pull thread down to thread guide
(5)
and insert thread from the top downward.
9.
Pull thread downward through the thread guide
(6)
. You can lower the needle
(R)
to reach the thread guide by turning the hand wheel
(K)
slightly counterclockwise
(in the direction toward you).
10.
Insert thread through eye
(7)
of the needle
from the front toward the back of the machine
(use threader if necessary)
. lf necessary, raise the
needle
(R)
to reach the eye by turning the
hand wheel
(K)
slightly clockwise
(in the direction away from you)
.
11.
Raise the presser foot
(F)
by lifting up on the
lever at the rear of machine
(G)
.
12.
Pull about I0 inches of thread through the
needle
(R)
and lay it on the deck under the
presser foot
(F)
running in the direction
away from you.
13.
Replace protective cover by securing
the screw and bolt with a screwdriver.
Bottom bobbin placement:
1.
Remove cover by pressing the arrow and sliding it away from the machine.
2.
Place the bobbin with thread of your choice in the bobbin holder
(J)
, leaving about I0
inches of thread extended out from the bobbin holder
(J)
.
3.
Turn hand wheel
(K)
counterclockwise (toward you). Needle
(R)
will go down,
picking up the bobbin thread. Turn hand wheel
(K)
until needle
(R)
has descended
completely and then comes up again to its highest raised point. Stop when needle
(R)
starts to go down again.
4.
Raise the presser foot
(F)
and bring the spool thread around to the front. Pull it
gently up and you will see it has caught the bobbin thread. Pull the two threads toward
the back of the machine
(away from you)
, and lay them under the presser foot
(F)
.
5.
Snap the bobbin compartment
(I)
cover down into place.
Note: lt is essentiaI that threading both top and bottom be done properly. Check carefully
and do one practice stitch before beginning to sew. Improper threading will damage the
lockstitch. The machine may have come pre-threaded from the factory. Look at this
threading carefully before removing it to replace the thread or bobbin with different thread.
Then folIow the preceding instructions to rethread.
Threading the main unit using the side bobbin:
1.
Pull bobbin spindle
(U)
out from main unit.
2.
Insert bobbin spindle
(U)
through center hole of threaded bobbin.
3.
Insert bobbin spindle
(U)
(with bobbin attached)
into bobbin holder
(V)
.
Make sure bobbin spindle
(U)
with bobbin is tightly secured to main unit.
(Follow steps 4-11 on page 3, threading main unit by pulling the thread from the
bobbin instead of from the spool).
Operating the machine without the foot pedal:
Note: Thread main unit with side bobbin simultaneously with thread spool for a
double stitch method. Side bobbin is to be used only if you’re using this particuIar
method of stitching.
Follow these simple steps:
1.
Lift the needle
(R)
above the presser foot
(F)
by turning the hand wheel
(K)
slightly in
clockwise direction
(away from you)
.
2.
Raise the presser foot
(F)
by lifting up on the lever
(G)
on the rear of the machine.
3.
Position fabric to be sewn under the presser foot
(F)
with presser foot
(F)
in raised
position. Make certain seam direction is toward you, aligned with the presser foot
(F)
,
with seam location directly under the needle
(R)
.
4.
Lower the presser foot
(F)
by releasing the presser foot lever
(G)
downward.
5.
Rotate the hand wheel
(K)
in a clockwise direction
(away from you)
two full turns to
lock and start seam. Stop.
6.
Select speed by pressing speed button
(L)
on face of machine. High speed, button is
extended out. Low speed, button is in, flush with machine.
Tip: Use low speed for intricate work, which requires a lot of stopping,
starting and turning fabric. Use high speed for long uninterrupted seams.
