17. NEEDLE THREADER
USING THE NEEDLE THREADER
There are a wide variety of different needles and
sewing machine threads available. The right ones
should be selected in accordance with the sewing
conditions. The accessory needle threader is designed
to make threading of needles easier, but it cannot
handle every single circumstance of use
(combinations of needle and thread) that may occur. It
can be used with some combinations but not with
others, and if it can be used, the pattern may not be
sewn correctly due to the particular sewing conditions.
Do not use the needle threader without gaining a
thorough understanding of how to use it, otherwise the
needle threader may be damaged or needle threading
may not be possible. Be sure to read and understand
the following so that you can handle customer
complaints.
NOTE:
1. Needle threader accepts only circled needle and
thread combinations.
2. Combinations marked with a * are not
recommended since they might lead to the
breakage of needle threader imperfect
performance.
3. Lower the presser foot when you use needle
threader.
4. Nylon transparent thread is applicable in needle
#14-16.
5. Do not turn the balance wheel when using needle
threader.
6. Do not lower the needle threader lever while the
machine is running. If it is lowered, the needle
threader may be broken, rendering it unusable.
Besides this, it may cause the needle to break, which
could result in injury.
7. If a #9 needle is used, the variation in needle precision
may result in the needle being slightly difficult to
thread.
8. Needle should be located above needle plate by more
than 8 mm for threading.
9. Needle threader does not work when you use the
side-cutter.
Thread the needle before attaching the side cutter.

(CHECKING THE HOOK POSITION IN HORIZONTAL DIRECTION)
STANDARD
The measure from inside of the hook guard to the center point of hook is 0.42 mm.
CHECK
As sewing needle HA X1 (#14) is standard, so prepare five brand-new sewing needles HA X1 (#14) and check by
changing all of these.
After Checking,
1. In case that, hook goes through eyelet of all needles....................There is no problem.
2. In case that, hook does not go through eyelet of all needles.........Adjust by bending hook.
3. In case that, hook does not go through eyelet of some needles....Needles through which the hook does not go
through are defective.
(Example for checking)
When you check five brand-new sewing needles HA X1 (#9) on condition that it achieves above first case, if the hook
does not go through eyelet of all of these needle, all five needles are defective and you judge the hook position is not
defective.
ADJUSTMENT
In case the hook is defective after above checking, adjust the hook by bending with pliers. Do not bend the hook
guard at this time.
