2Put bobbin into the bobbin case.

Run thread through thread notch and under latch spring, so that a length of thread is ex- posed.

Always use the bobbin case that was sup- plied with this machine. A secondary bob- bin case can be ordered from your dealer.

3Pull the latch lever of the bobbin case out and push the bobbin case into the shuttle race and release the latch lever.

If the latch lever is not set securely on the hook, it may fly off during sewing and cause lower thread breakage.

Rotate the hand wheel one full rota- tion towards you to check that the bobbin case is set securely.
