ELNA 604E - THREADING THE MACHINE; Threading the Upper Looper; Threading the Lower Looper

THREADING THE MACHINE
First of all, disconnect the machine from the electric outlet
according to the "Important Safety Instructions" on page "0".
Follow the threading paths carefully, in accordance with the charts inside the front
door, in the sequence 1-2-3-4. It is important that threading is carried out in the following
sequence:
1. Upper looper thread - Yellow thread guides
2. Lower looper thread - Green thread guides
3. Right needle thread - Red thread guides
4. Left needle thread - Blue thread guides
Incorrect threading will result in several problems such as skipped stitches and thread
breakage.
Before starting to thread, make sure that the instant rolled/narrow hem device is well
engaged on the needle plate.

2. Bring the lower looper to its right
position by turning the flywheel by
hand.
3. Push the lever (f) down and hook
the thread on the guide (g), push
the lever (f) up to the woking position,
then pass the thread through the eye
