5. PREPARATION BEFORE SEWING 5-3. Winding the lower thread CAUTION Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any objects against the machine while winding the lower thread, as this may result in personal injury or damage to the machine. 2302B 1. Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft (1). 2. Thread the thread as shown in the illustration, wind the thread around the bobbin several times, and then press the bobbin presser arm(2). 3. Turn on the power switch. 4. Depress the foot switch to the second step. The feed mechanism will move to the home position. 5. Check that the needle is not touching the work clamp/button clamp, and then while pressing the ENTER key (3), depress the foot switch to the second step. 6. Release the ENTER key (3) after the machine starts operating, and keep depressing the foot switch until the lower thread stops being wound onto the bobbin. (If you release the foot switch before winding is complete, and then depress it again while pressing the ENTER key (3), winding will start again.) 7. Once winding of the set amount of lower thread (80 - 90% of the bobbin capacity) is completed, the bobbin presser arm (2) will return automatically. 8. Remove the bobbin, hook the thread onto the knife (4), and then pull the bobbin in the direction of the arrow to cut the thread. 2303B 2304B 2305B 28 2341B Adjusting the bobbin winding amount Loosen the screw (5) and move the bobbin presser (6). Case A If the thread winds onto the bobbin unevenly Loosen the set screw (7) and move the bobbin wider tension assembly (8) up and down to adjust. * For case A, move the bobbin winder tension assembly (8) down, and for case B, move it upward.

CAUTION
Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any objects against the machine while winding the lower thread, as this may
result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
1.
Place the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft (1).
2. Thread the thread as shown in the illustration, wind the
thread around the bobbin several times, and then press the

(If you release the foot switch before winding is complete,
and then depress it again while pressing the ENTER key (3),
winding will start again.)
7.
Once winding of the set amount of lower thread (80 - 90% of
the bobbin capacity) is completed, the bobbin presser arm
(2) will return automatically.
8. Remove the bobbin, hook the thread onto the knife (4), and
then pull the bobbin in the direction of the arrow to cut the
thread.
Adjusting the bobbin winding amount
Loosen the screw (5) and move the bobbin presser (6).
If the thread winds onto the bobbin unevenly
Loosen the set screw (7) and move the bobbin wider tension
assembly (8) up and down to adjust.
