Checking the Needle

The sewing needle must always be straight and sharp for smooth sewing.

To Check the Needle Correctly:

To check the needle, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface. Check the needle from the top and the sides. Throw away any bent needles.

*Place a level surface under the needle.

Replacing the Needle

CAUTION

• Turn the main power switch to OFF before changing the needle. If the main power is left on and Start/Stop button is pressed or foot controller is stepped on, the machine will start and injury may result.

• Use only sewing machine needles for home use. Other needles may bend or break and cause injury.

• Never sew with a bent needle. A bent needle will easily break and cause injury.

1. Remove the power supply plug from the outlet.

2. Raise the needle bar to its highest position.

3. Lower the presser foot.

4. Remove the needle by loosening the needle clamp screw.
