The needle size should be selected to match not only the thread weight, but also the
machine model, as follows:
Model A: Needle sizes 60— 70
Model B: Needle sizes 80—100
Model C: Needle sizes 110—140
Model D: Needle sizes 160 — 180
The needle size is indicated on the shank in hundredths of millimeters. Thus, a No. 100
needle has a shaft diameter of 100/100 = 1 mm.
7. Changing the needle
Raise the needle bar to its highest point, loosen the needle set screw half a turn, anc
pull the damaged needle out of the needle clamp.
Insert a new needle into the clamp, making sure that its short groove faces toward the
sewing hook. Push the needle up as far as it will go and tighten the needle set screw
securely.
Never use rusty needles.
