CAUTION/PRECAUCIÓN

●Make sure you turn the power off while threading the machine. If you accidentally step on the foot controller and the machine starts to sew, you could be injured.

●Asegúrese de apagar la máquina cuando vaya a enhebrar. Si pisa el pedal sin querer y la máquina empieza a coser, podría resultar lesionado.

3Put the bobbin in so the thread comes out in the direction shown by the arrow.

Coloque la bobina de modo que el hilo salga en la dirección que indica la flecha.

•Only use bobbins that were designed to be used with this machine.

Utilice solamente bobinas diseñadas para esta máquina.

CAUTION/PRECAUCIÓN

●Make sure you set the bobbin so the thread unrolls in the right direction. If the thread unrolls in the wrong direction, it may cause the thread tension to be incorrect or break the needle.

●Asegúrese de colocar la bobina de modo que el hilo se desenrolle en la dirección correcta. En caso contrario, la tensión del hilo podría ser incorrecta o se podría romper la aguja.

•Make sure that the thread is correctly inserted through the tension-adjusting spring of the bobbin case. If it is not inserted, re- insert the thread.

Asegúrese de que el hilo se ha introducido correctamente en el resorte de ajuste de tensión de la caja de la bobina. Si no se ha introducido, vuelva a intentarlo.
