c. Bobbin
Winding
Place the bobbin winder on the table so that its pulley will not contact the
machine belt when the winder is disengaged, and screw it down
(Fig.
52).
The bobbin winder tension is
arranged
on the belt guard and can be ad
justed sideways to bring bobbin
and
tension in line. To do this, loosen the
two
screws
on
the
tension
bracket.
Place a spool of
thread
on spool pin 1
and
an empty bobbin on the
bobbin
winder spindle. Lead the threod from the spool through thread guide 2
(from back to front), around and between tension discs 3,
and
down to
bobbin 4. Pull the thread through the slot in the bobbin, from the inside,
and
press in lever 5. Hold the
end
of the
thread
and
start
the machine.
Having wound a few turns, break off the thread end
and
continue winding.
The amount of thread to be wound on the bobbin is regulated by screw 6,
as
follows:
Turn screw right for more
thread,
or
left
for
less
thread.
