Preparations
Free arm
To use the free arm, slide off the accessory tray. When 
attached, a hook keeps the accessory tray securely 
attached to the machine. Remove the tray by sliding it 
to the left.
Leveling the machine base plate
To make sure your machine stands steadily on your 
sewing surface you can adjust the base plate height. 
Turn the base plate adjusting screw (A) by hand. Turn 
clockwise to lower and counter-clockwise to raise the 
base plate.
Mounting machine in sewing cabinet
There are two holes on the underside of the machine 
designed for mounting the machine into a sewing 
cabinet. Align the holes (indicated in the picture) with 
the corresponding holes in the cabinet base. Attach the 
machine with screws.
Thread cutter
To use the thread cutter, pull the thread from back to 
front as shown (B).
Spool pins
Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and 
an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for 
many types of thread. The main spool pin is adjustable 
and can be used both in a horizontal position (the 
thread reels off the spool) and a vertical position (the 
thread spool rotates). The horizontal position can be 
used for most sewing and embroidery threads, and the 
vertical position can be used for many specialty threads.
Horizontal position
Place a spool cap and the thread spool on the spool pin. 
Make sure that the thread reels over the top and slide 
on the second spool cap. 
Use a spool cap slightly larger than the thread spool. 
For narrow thread spools, use a smaller spool cap in 
front of the spool. For large thread spools, use a larger 
spool cap in front of the spool.

against the spool. There should be no space between the 
spool cap and the thread spool.
