7. 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.
