Changing the Needle
The use of the needle inserter is recommended and prevents the needle from falling into the feed dog area.
Correctly inserted needles are not at the same height.
The needle holder screws must always be tightened, even if no needles are inserted. This prevents the needle
holding screws from falling out because of vibrations.
