KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE —————————————————————————————————————————

fWhile holding the end of the thread, gently press the foot controller or press (start/ stop button) (for models equipped with the start/stop button) to wind the thread around the bobbin a few times. Then stop the machine.

Note

If the sewing machine is to be operated using the foot controller, connect the foot controller before turning on the machine.

When the foot controller is plugged in, the start/stop button cannot be used to start or stop sewing (only for models equipped with the start/stop button).

gTrim the excess thread above the bobbin.

CAUTION

Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. If you do not cut the thread completely, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break.

hSlide the sewing speed controller to the right (to set the speed to fast). (For models equipped with the sewing speed controller.)

iPress the foot controller or press (start/ stop button) (for models equipped with the start/stop button) to start.

jWhen the bobbin seems full and begins spinning slowly, take your foot off the foot

controller or press (start/stop button) (for models equipped with the start/stop button).

kCut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.

lSlide the sewing speed controller back to its original position (for models equipped with the sewing speed controller).

Memo

When the sewing machine is started or the handwheel is turned after winding the thread around the bobbin, the machine will make a clicking sound; this is not a malfunction.

The needle bar does not move when you slide the bobbin winding shaft to the right.

CAUTION

Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle.
