You set the hook thread tension as follows:
1. Turn back the adjusting screw (3) so far that the tension on 
the tensioning spring (2) is completely removed.
2. Bend the braking spring (1) such that 50% of the recommen-
ded hook thread tension value is applied through the braking 
spring.
3. Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case upper section and 
thread in the hook thread ( p. 32).
4. Insert the bobbin case together with the bobbin into the hook.
5. Hold the free thread end tightly with one hand.
