Brother International PR1055X Operation Manual - Page 84

CAUTION • When (unlock key) in the embroidering screen is touched, the "Start/ Stop" button begins flashing in green and the machine can start embroidering. If the upper threading is being performed or the needle is being threaded, be careful that the machine is not accidentally started, otherwise injuries may result. On the spool pin, place a spool with the thread color a specified for the corresponding needle bar. Upper threading Use machine embroidery thread to thread the needle bars in order, starting with needle bar 1. CAUTION • When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is not performing correctly, the thread may break or become tangled, causing the needle to bend or break. • When using metallic thread or any other strong thread, place the included spool net over the spool. If the spool net is too long, fold it once to match the size of the spool before placing it over the spool. It may be necessary to adjust thread tension when using the spool net. 1 Spool net 2 Thread Note • It is recommended that rayon or polyester machine embroidery thread be used (120 den/2, 135 dtex/2, 40 weight (in Americas and Europe), #50 (in Japan)). • Certain types of thread may break or have improper tension. In such a case, change the thread. Memo • The path that the machine should be threaded is indicated by a line on the machine. Be sure to thread the machine as indicated. • Check that the spool stand has been completely opened. • When using small spools of thread, be sure to place the included spool mat on the spool pin before placing the spool on the pin. • Place the thread in the center of the spool stand so that the thread feeds off of the spool correctly and does not get tangled around the spool pin directly under the thread spool. • Use spool cap on all spools of thread shorter than the height of the spool pin. 82 1 Spool mat 2 Small spool 3 Spool cap
