CAUTION

•Be sure that the bobbin case is correctly installed. Otherwise, the needle may break.

iInsert the tabs on the needle plate cover into the needle plate, and then slide the cover back on.

Note

•Never use a bobbin case that is scratched; otherwise, the upper thread may become tangled, the needle may break, or sewing performance may suffer. For a new bobbin case (part code: XC3153-251 (green marking on the screw), XC8167-451 (no color on the screw)), contact your nearest authorized service center.

•If the needle plate has been removed it is especially important to reinstall the needle plate and tighten the screws prior to installing the bobbin case.

Cleaning the Cutter in the Bobbin Case Area

aFollow steps a through e in “Cleaning the Race” to remove the needle plate cover.
