dHold the needle with your left hand, and then use a screwdriver to turn the needle clamp screw counterclockwise to remove the needle.

Note

●The needle can be removed by simply loosening the needle clamp screw about one turn. (If the needle clamp screw is loosened too much, the needle clamp (which holds the needle) may fall off. Therefore, do not loosen the needle clamp screw too much.)
