11 cm (1/2 inch)

CAUTION

Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. If you do not cut the excess thread completely before winding the bobbin, when the thread runs low it may tangle around the bobbin and cause the needle to break.

8Press the foot controller to start.

9When the bobbin seems full and begins spinning slowly, take your foot off the foot controller.

0Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left and remove the bobbin.

Note

When the sewing machine is started or the handwheel is turned after winding the thread around the bobbin, the machine will make a clicking sound; this is not a malfunction.

The needle bar does not move when you slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right.

CAUTION

Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle.
