Note
• When using thread that quickly winds off the
spool, such as metallic thread, it may be dif-
ficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter,
pull out about 80 mm (approx. 3 inches) of
thread after passing it through the thread
guide disks (marked “7”).

presser foot moves back to the position
before the “Automatic Threading” button
was pressed.
