Threading
Warning!:
Before threading, make sure that the
sewing machine is switched off, or
that the power plug has been pulled
out of the power socket,
as accidents
may be caused if the machine is started
unintentionally.
a) Threading the lower bobbin
To fill the lower bobbin with thread:
Pull out one of the two
roll pins
and
put on a spool of thread.
You can put a
felt pad
under the
spool of thread, to protect the
machine casing.
Place an empty
bobbin
on the
winder spindle
and wind the loose
end of the thread on, giving several
turns anticlockwise.
Pull out the
handwheel
slightly, to
disengage the sewing mechanism
from the motor.
Pull the thread through the thread
guide for the
winder tension.
After the first few turns of thread are
taut on the bobbin, press the bobbin
against the
winder stopper
.
• Now switch on the sewing machine
and step on the foot switch. When
the bobbin is full, cut the thread.
Press the winder spindle forward
again and take out the full bobbin.
Do not forget to press the handwheel
back in, otherwise the sewing mech-
anism remains disengaged from the
motor.
