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. 3380M 1. Turn on the power switch. 2. Place the bobbin (1) onto the bobbin winder shaft (2). 3. Wind the thread several times around the bobbin (1) in the direction indicated by the arrow. 4. Push the bobbin presser arm (3) toward the bobbin(1). 5. Raise the presser foot with the lifting lever. 6. Depress the treadle. Lower thread winding will then start. 7. Once winding of the lower thread is completed, the bobbin presser arm (3) will return automatically. 8. After the thread has been wound on, remove the bobbin and cut the thread with the knife (4). More thread Less thread * Loosen the screw (5) and move the bobbin presser (6) to adjust the amount of thread wound onto the bobbin. NOTE: The amount of thread wound onto the bobbin should be a maximum of 80 % of the bobbin capacity. 2123M 3381M 5-4. Installing the bobbin case CAUTION Turn off the power switch before installing the bobbin case. The machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury. 3382M 1. Turn the sewing machine pulley to align the reference line on the pulley with the indent in the motor cover. 2.

3. Wind the thread several times around the bobbin (1) in
the direction indicated by the arrow.
4. Push the bobbin presser arm (3) toward the bobbin(1).
5. Raise the presser foot with the lifting lever.
6. Depress the treadle. Lower thread winding will then start.
7. Once winding of the lower thread is completed, the
bobbin presser arm (3) will return automatically.
8. After the thread has been wound on, remove the bobbin
and cut the thread with the knife (4).
* Loosen the screw (5) and move the bobbin presser (6) to
adjust the amount of thread wound onto the bobbin.
NOTE:
The amount of thread wound onto the bobbin should
be a maximum of 80 % of the bobbin capacity.
5-4. Installing the bobbin case
CAUTION
Turn off the power switch before installing the bobbin case.
The machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
