Changing the needle
Disconnect the machine from
the power supply by remov-
ing the plug from the socket
socket.
1. Bring the needle to the highest position by
turning the handwheel anticlockwise.
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning
anti-clockwise.
3. Remove the needle by pulling it downwards.
4. Insert the new needle in the needle holder with
the flat side towards the back.
5. Push up the needle as far as it will go.
6. Tighten the needle clamp screw with the screw-
driver included in the delivery.
Note: Pull firmly but not too hard.
Tip: It is easier to change the needle if you put
a piece of fabric under the presser foot and
lower the presser foot. This prevents the needle
from falling into the needle plate hole.
