CAUTION Be sure to turn off the power before using the needle threader. There is a risk of injury if you accidentally step on the foot controller. Using the Needle Threader ✽ The needle threader can be used with machine needles #11 through #16. When using #9 needles or thinner, manually thread the needle. 2 Needle Threader 1 1 132 1 Make sure that the thread take-up lever is positioned as shown in the diagram and the needle is raised to it's highest position. 2 Holding the thread in your left hand, pull out about 20 cm (approx. 8 inches) (1), and then lower the presser foot lever (2). 7 Carefully pull the loop to the right to thread the needle. 3 Fully lower the needle threader (1), and then fully swing it to the back. 4 Pass the thread between the hook fingers (1) completely, then pass the thread around the right side of the pin (2). The hook (3) catches the thread. 5 Pass the thread through the thread trimmer from back to front to cut it. 6 Raise the presser foot lever, and then return the needle threader to its original position. The hook passes the thread through the eye of the needle. ● The needle threader cannot be used with the thread-needle combinations illustrated in the chart shown below. Transparent nylon thread can be used regardless of the chart, providing the needle used is a #14 or #16.
