Upper Threading Check that the needle and thread are compatible with k the needle threader. If they are compatible, continue with the next step. • The needle threader can be used with machine needles 75/11 through 100/16. • The needle threader cannot be used with the wing needle or the twin needle. • When thread such as transparent nylon monofilament or specialty threads are used, it is not recommended to use the needle threader. • If the needle threader cannot be used, insert the thread through the eye of the needle from front to back by hand. At this time, be sure to lock all keys and operation buttons described in step g. Lower the needle threader lever on the left side of the o machine as much as possible to make the hook turn. 1 1 2 3 GETTING READY Pull the end of the thread, which has been passed l through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, then pass the thread through the notch of the threader thread guide, and then firmly pull the thread from the front and insert it into the slit of the threader thread guide disk marked "7" all the way. 21 1 Notch of the threader thread guide 2 Threader thread guide disk Cut the thread with the thread cutter on the left side of m the machine. Note • If the thread is pulled through and cannot be cut correctly, lower the presser foot lever so that the thread is held in place before cutting the thread. If this operation is performed, proceed to step o. • When using thread that quickly winds off the spool, such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread the needle if the thread is cut. Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull out about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after passing it through the threader thread guide disk (marked "7"). Lower the presser foot lever to lower the presser foot. n 1 Needle threader lever 2 Needle 3 Hook Note • If the needle is not raised to it's highest position, the needle threader cannot thread the needle. Turn handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is at its highest position. The needle is correctly raised when the mark on the handwheel is at the top, as shown under step c on page 17. Raise the needle threader lever slowly. p Carefully pull the end of thread that was passed q through the eye of the needle. If the needle was not completely threaded, but a loop in the thread was formed in the eye of the needle, carefully pull the loop through the eye of the needle to pull out the end of the thread. Raise the presser foot lever, pass the end of the thread r through and under the presser foot, and then pull out about 5 cm (approx. 2 inches) of thread toward the rear of the machine. Press s to unlock all keys and buttons. 19
