IMPORTANT
• Be sure to raise the needle before using the automatic
needle threader. Otherwise, the needle may not thread
correctly and the needle threader may be damaged.
CAUTION
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed correctly, the
thread may become tangled around the spool pin,
possibly causing the needle to break, resulting in
injuries.
• Choose a spool cap that best fits the size of spool being
used. For more information regarding the choice of
spool caps for your thread choice, refer to “How to Use
the Spool Cap and Spool Net” on page 35.
