4.4 Winding up the thread (Fig. 8)
The course of the thread during winding up is shown in Fig. 8.
Care must be taken that not too much of the thread is wound onto the reel and
that the reel walls are not pushed apart, faulty reels must immediately be
replaced with new ones.

4.4.1 Installing the bobbin and threading the bobbin thread (Fig. 9)
By turning the needle lever to its highest position with the hand wheel, the
bobbin (1) can be taken out and reinserted. Fold the bobbin holder flap away
from the bobbin capsule with a short jerk, the bobbin then jumps by spring
pressure out of the bobbin capsule so that it can be easily removed.
When inserting the bobbin take care that the bobbin thread unwinds from the
underside of the bobbin. Then guide the start of the bobbin thread through the
slot at the right hand side of the bobbin capsule and hold it lightly at the stitch
plate.
Then turn the hand wheel of the machine a full rotation and at the same time
hold the needle thread lightly tensioned after take up by the hook point. This
pulls the bobbin thread correctly under the leaf spring.
It is best to then lightly twist together the needle thread and the bobbin thread
and pull them together to the back through the stitch plate hole.
