Threading
Preparation/Tips
• Turn power switch to “O”
• Support rod with thread guide must be fully raised.
• Open the looper cover and cloth plate.
• Turn the handwheel towards you until needles are
fully raised.
• Raise the upper knife.
Thread the machine carefully and in the correct sequence.
Invaluable threading aids simplify threading:
• coloured threading illustration
• colour coded thread path on the machine.
• threading accessories.
Thread guide bar
Slide thread into the two slits to form an S-loop.
Thread tension
The thread must lie correctly between the tension discs for
perfect stitch formation. When a slight resistance is felt on
the thread, it is lying correctly between the tension discs.
Needle threader
Insert thread into threader. Push the rigid end of the threader
through the looper or needle eye and pull it completely
through the eye.
