Winding/Installing the Bobbin Remove the spool cap that is inserted onto the spool d pin. 1 2 1 Spool pin 2 Spool cap Place the spool of thread for the bobbin onto the spool e pin. Slide the spool onto the pin so that the spool is horizontal and the thread unwinds to the front at the bottom. • If the spool is not positioned so that the thread unwinds correctly, the thread may become tangled around the spool pin. Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin. f Slide the spool cap as far as possible to the right, as shown, with the rounded side on the left. CAUTION • If the spool or the spool cap is not installed correctly, the thread may become tangled around the spool pin, causing the needle to break. • Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size of spool being used. If the spool cap is too small for the spool being used, the thread may catch on the slit in the spool or the machine may be damaged. When using mini king thread spool, use the thread spool insert (mini king thread spool). For details on thread spool insert (mini king thread spool), refer to "Memo" on page B-14. Memo • When using the spool as shown below, use the small spool cap, and leave a small space between the cap and the spool. c b a 1 Spool cap (small) 2 Spool (cross-wound thread) 3 Space • When using thread that winds off quickly, such as transparent nylon thread or metallic thread, place the spool net over the spool before placing the spool of thread onto the spool pin. If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of the spool. 1 2 3 4 1 Spool net 2 Spool 3 Spool cap 4 Spool pin • If a spool of thread whose core is 12 mm (1/2 inch) in diameter and 75 mm (3 inches) high is inserted onto the spool pin, use the thread spool insert (mini king thread spool). 1 Thread spool insert (mini king thread spool) 2 12 mm (1/2 inch) 3 75 mm (3 inches) B-14
