to clean the shuttle race from jammed thread ends and lint, using the brush to do so. Never use hard instruments, such as screwdrivers a. s. o. to perform this, as otherwise the shuttle race might get damaged. After this cleansing has been done, replace first shuttle, then close locking bridge 56 with shuttle race cover 57, and finally insert again bobbin case. Make sure that the locking bridge has engaged correctly; el the shuttle race has been oiled correctly with a few drops of oil zee fig. 20); fl no thread ends are stuck between the thread tension discs; gi no thread ends are jammed under the bobbin case tension spring; h ) the machine can easily be started with handwheel. 2. The causes of upper thread breaking may be the following: a) The use of badly polished needles of inferior quality. Needles should always be purchased at a BERNINA shop; b) Needle incorrectly set. Long groove must always be in front; e) Needle is bent or blunt; d) The relation between size of thread and needle is not the right one (see table on page 13); e) Upper tension thread is too tight; f) Thread of bad quality, full of knots. Thread dried out by too long storage. Thread should never be stored in heated rooms. If the machine has been in use for a long time, thread breaking may have a cause only a competent sewing machine mechanic can deal with; g) Stitch plate hole has been damaged by the needle and requires re-polishing; h Shuttle point is damaged. 3. Cause of under thread breaking can be: a) Under thread tension too tight: b) Under thread badly wound on bobbin; el Bobbin is deformed and jamming in the case; dl Stitch plate hole has been damaged by the needle and requires re-polishing (ask the expert!). 4. Missing stitches may be caused by: a) using unsuitable needles of other make. Always use needles of system 705: b) needle is bent; c) needle not correctly set; long groove must always be exactly in front: when inserting needle push it up as far as it will go: 73

with;
g)
Stitch
plate
hole
has
been
damaged
by

Cause
of
under
thread
breaking
can
be:
a)
Under
thread
tension
too
tight:
b)
Under
thread
badly
wound
on
bobbin;
el
Bobbin
is
deformed
and
jamming
in
the
case;
dl
Stitch
plate
hole
has
been

Missing
stitches
may
be
caused
by:
a)
using
unsuitable
needles
of
other

needle
is
bent;
c)
needle
not
correctly
