WINDING BOBBINS
The bobbin winder is mounted on the table top with its pulley in front of
the driving belt. The pulley will separate from the belt after the
bobbin has been wound with sufficient thread.
Push the bobbin on bobbin winder spindle as far as it will go. Pass thread
from thread stand downward through eye in tension bracket; then between
and around the back of the tension discs bring thread foward toward
bobbin and wind from below in clockwise direction several times around
bobbin. Push bobbin winder lever downward until wheel contacts the
drive belt and start machine. After bobbin is filled with thread, an
automatic release will cause the wheel to disengage from the belt and
winding will stop. Cut thread and remove bobbin from winder spindle.
An adjustment screw on the bobbin winder throw-out latch can be turned
in or out to increase or decrease the amount of thread wound on the
bobbin.
When fine thread is wound on bobbins, use light tension. It is regulated
by turning the knurled nut on the tension bracket at the rear of the
bobbin winder. Bobbin can be wound while the machine is sewing.
STITCH LENGTH ADJUSTMENT & REVERSING LEVER
The stitch length is changed by turning
serrated nut "M" located behind stitch
regulator lever xintil the desired stitch
length is reached. To reverse sewing action,
lift lever past "O" toward marking "R" on
the plate (Fig. 6) until stopped. Machine
will sew approximately same number of
stitches per inch forward and reverse.
Release of the spring-actuated lever will
automatically return the sewing to forward
direction.
