g
Slide the sewing speed controller to adjust the bobbin
winding speed. Slide the controller to the right to
increase the speed; slide it to the left to reduce the
speed.
h
Turn on the machine.
i
Press the “Start/Stop” button once to start winding the
bobbin.
When the foot controller is plugged in, press down on
the foot controller.
j
When the bobbin winding becomes slow, press the
“Start/Stop” button once to stop the machine.
When the foot controller is plugged in, remove your
foot from the foot controller.
k
Cut the thread, slide the bobbin winder shaft to the left
until it snaps into place, and then remove the bobbin.
l
Slide the sewing speed controller to desired sewing
speed position.
m
Remove the spool for the bobbin thread from the spool
pin.
Note
• Make sure that the thread is passed under the
pretension disk.
Note
• Be sure to wind the thread clockwise around the
bobbin, otherwise the thread will become wrapped
around the bobbin winder shaft.
CAUTION
• Be sure to cut the thread as described. If the
bobbin is wound without cutting the thread
using the cutter built into the guide slit in the
bobbin winder seat, the thread may become
tangled in the bobbin or the needle may bend
or break when the bobbin thread starts to run
out.
Memo
• We recommend winding stretch thread, such as
transparent nylon thread, at a low speed since the
thread may stretch.

Note
• When winding transparent nylon thread on the bobbin,
stop bobbin winding when the bobbin is 1/2 to 2/3 full. If
the bobbin was fully wound with transparent nylon
thread, it may not be wound neatly, or sewing
performance may suffer. In addition, extreme pressure
may be applied to the bobbin, it may not be possible to
remove the bobbin from the bobbin winder shaft, or the
bobbin may break.
CAUTION
• When the bobbin winding becomes slow, stop
the machine, otherwise the machine may be
damaged.
