Replacing the Needle

This section describes how to replace the needle.

Needle precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the handling of the needle. Failure to observe these precautions is extremely dangerous, for example, if the needle breaks and fragments are dispersed. Be sure to read and carefully follow the instructions below.

CAUTION

●Only use home sewing machine needles. Use of any other needle may bend the needle or damage the machine.

●Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.

Checking the needle

Embroidering with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is being operated.

Before using the needle, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface and check that the distance between the needle and the flat surface is even.
