1Press the automatic needle-threading button.

XThe hook on the automatic needle- threading mechanism passes through the eye of the needle.

CAUTION

●If the needle is not fully inserted, the hook of the automatic needle-threading mechanism will not pass through the eye of the needle during automatic needle threading, and the hook may bend or the needle cannot be threaded.

●If the hook of the automatic needle- threading mechanism is bent or damaged, contact your authorized retailer.

●While the hook of the automatic needle- threading mechanism is passed through the eye of the needle, do not rotate the handwheel, otherwise the automatic needle-threading mechanism may be damaged.

Note

●To avoid damage, the automatic needle- threading mechanism may return to the back position when you turn the handwheel.

●The automatic needle-threading mechanism can thread one needle at the sewing position. When this mechanism is used, be sure that the needle bar that you want to thread is positioned as the sewing position, otherwise the automatic needle-threading mechanism cannot be used at the particular needle. If the needle bar is not at the sewing position, move it there. (Refer to page 40.)

2Pull out about 15 cm (6 inches) of thread.

Allow thread to relax and eliminate any stress on the thread. Then, as shown in the illustration, pass the thread under the fork of the automatic needle-threading mechanism from the right, and then catch the thread with the hook that passes through the eye of the needle.
