BOTTOM BOBBIN REPLACEMENT
1. Remove the bobbin compartment cover (I).
2. Place the bobbin with a thread of your choice in the bobbin holder (J) leaving
approximately 25cm of thread extended out from the bobbin holder (J).
3. Extend the thread into the thread gap (H).
4. Turn the hand wheel (K) clockwise. The needle will go down, picking up the bobbin
thread. Continue to turn the hand wheel until the needle (R) has descended completely
and then returned to the highest raised point.
5. Raise the presser foot (F) and bring the spool thread around to the front. Pull it gently up
and you will see it has caught the bobbin thread. Pull the two threads towards the rear
(away from you) and lay them under the presser foot (F).
6. Replace the bobbin compartment cover (I).
Note: It is essential that the top and bottom threading is correct. Check carefully and practice
before beginning to sew. Improper threading will damage the lockstitch.
The machine may have come pre-threaded from the factory. Look at this threading carefully
before removing it to replace the thread or bobbin.
THREADING THE MAIN UNIT USING SIDE BOBBIN
Follow steps 4-11 on the previous page with the following exceptions:
1. Pull the bobbin spindle (U) out from the main unit.
2. Insert the bobbin spindle (U) through the centre hole of the threaded bobbin.
3. Insert bobbin spindle (U) (with bobbin attached) into the bobbin holder (V). Make sure the
bobbin spindle with bobbin is tightly secured to the main unit.
Note: Thread the main unit with side bobbin simultaneously with thread spool for a double stitch
method. The side bobbin is to be used only if your using this particular method of stitching.
OPERATING THE MACHINE (without the foot pedal)
1. Lift the needle (R) above the presser foot (F) by turning the hand wheel (K) clockwise.
2. Raise the presser foot (F) by lifting up the lever on the back of the machine.
3. Position the fabric to be sewn under the presser foot. The presser foot (F) should be in a
raised position. Make certain the seam direction is towards you, aligned with the presser
foot (F), with seam location directly under the needle (R).
4. Lower the presser foot (F) by releasing the presser foot lever (G) downward.
5. Rotate the hand wheel (K) in a clockwise direction two complete turns to lock the start
seam.
6. Select speed button (L) on the front of the machine. High speed is selected when the
button is extended out. Low speed is selected when the button is flush with the machine.
Use the low speed for intricate work which requires a lot of stopping, starting and fabric
turning. Use the high speed for long uninterrupted seams.
