PREPARE FOR SEWING
Thread the machine. Then pick
up
the bobbin thread
as
follows:
(1)
While holding the loose end of the needle thread
in
your left hand, turn the balance wheel
toward
you
by
hand until the needle moves down and up again
to
its highest point.
(2)
Pull the needle thread gently, and the bobbin thread will come
up
with it
in
the form of a loop
through the needle hole.
(3) With your finger, pull this loop until the end of the thread appears. If the bobbin thread does
not rise, check
to
see if
at
least 5 or 6 inches
of
bobbin thread is hanging loosely from the
bobbin case.
TO
START SEWING
(1)
With the needle raised, lay the lower or bobbin thread straight back from the needle hole.
(2)
Place the material to
be
sewn under the presser feet and lower them onto the material.
(3)
Hold the upper or needle thread (threaded through the eye of the needle) with the fingers of
the
left hand.
Turn
the balance wheel toward
you
with your right hand until the outside presser
foot reaches its most backward position.
(4)
Now operate the knee or foot control to start sewing.
The above procedure is necessary
so
the motor will start the machine to sewing.
Do
not help
the feeding
of
the machine by hand,
as
this may bend or break the needle. Also, damage i6.
the hook can occur.
The machine may run a
little slow when ies
new.
However,
it will begin to "free up"
and
run
smoothly
with continued
use.
During operation, the balance wheel of the machine always turns toward the operator.
To
avoid
tangled thread and jamming of the sewing hook, do not turn the balance wheel backward (away
from the operator).
WARNING: Never operate the machine without material under the presser feet.
Your
machine will
probably
"lock"
and cannot be operated until the thread is cleaned out
of
the hook race.
