Operate your Pfaff select
Needle threader (Model 1540)
To make threading the needle easier and 
quicker, you have been provided with the 
PFAFF needle threader (13). Lower the presser 
foot. Turn the handwheel until the needle is at 
its highest position. Place the needle thread 
under hook A and hold it taut. Move the needle 
threader fully downwards and turn it towards 
the needle so that the small hook B goes 
through the needle eye. Place the thread into 
the hook from below.
Turn the needle threader towards the rear, 
releasing the thread carefully, and allow the 
threader to move upwards. You can now pull 
the thread through the needle eye.
Threading the twin needle
Insert the twin needle.
Fit the second spool holder and place one 
spool of thread on each holder.
In the left threading slot (11) you will fi nd 
tension disk A. During threading, make sure 
that you pass one thread left and one thread 
right over tension disk A.
Carry on threading in the usual way, but make 
sure the threads are not twisted with each 
other.
Pull the threads right and left into thread guide 
(25) and thread the needles.
Note: You cannot use the needle threader for a 
twin needle (Model 1540).
