Upper Thread Path
If the thread comes out of the system, you may need to thread the machine
without a starter thread.
1. To start a new cone of thread, push the plastic thread tubes up
from behind the thread tree. Place the cone of thread on the
thread seat. The thread tube should extend ½ to 1 inch above the
cone.
Neglecting to extend the tube ½ to 1 inch above the cone could
result in frequent thread breaks.
2. Using either the mono-lament provided in the operator’s kit or
a can of compressed air, feed the thread through the thread tube
from the cone to the small hole behind the thread feeder assembly.
• To use the monolament, locate the small hole behind the thread
feed assembly. Push the monolament into this hole and up
through the supply tube until the end extends above the cone of
thread. Then, Secure the end of the thread in the notch of the
monolament and slowly pull the thread through the tube.
• If using compressed air, place the end of the thread in to the top of
the thread supply tube. Feed enough that the thread will stay with-
out holding it. Now blow the compressed air into the tube. The air
will carry the thread and shoot out the front of the machine.
