Quick Thread Change
Changing a cone of thread does not require rethreading the entire thread
path. If thread is already in the system, the fastest and easiest way to
change a cone of thread is to remove the old cone but leave a good length
of the old thread on the machine.
1. Place the new cone of thread on the thread tree with the old
thread end sticking out of the thread tube and over the new cone.
2. If used, black clover may need to be collapsed to allow the new
cone onto the thread seat. If the clover is too low on the thread
tube, the new cone of thread may not be able to sit securely on the
thread seat. If this is the case, move the clover up the thread tube
and try again.
3. If the thread is caught in the clover, pull up slightly on the clover
to create a loop of thread that you can grab. Pull the thread up
through the hole in the clover and free.
4. Extend the thread tube ½ to 1 inch above the cone. Neglecting to
extend the thread tube ½ to 1 inch above the cone could result in
frequent thread breaks.
5. After placing the cone of thread on the machine, the old thread
will be trapped on the inside and underneath the cone. From near
the tube, pull the thread free and over the top of the new cone.
