Make sure that the thread is passed through to the left of the tab of the needle bar thread guide. 1 Needle bar thread 2 guide 2 Tab 1 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 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. Note • 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 thread guide disk (marked "7"). Lower the needle threader lever on the left side of the o machine as much as possible to make the hook turn. 1 2 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 thread guide, and then firmly pull the thread from the front and insert it into the slit of the thread guide disk marked "7" all the way. 3 1 Needle threader lever 2 Needle 3 Hook Raise the needle threader lever slowly. p 21 1 Notch of the thread guide 2 Thread guide disk 25
