● Make sure you follow the instructions
carefully. If you do not cut the thread
completely, and the bobbin is wound,
when the thread runs low it may tangle
around the bobbin and cause the needle
to break.
● Setting the bobbin improperly may cause
the thread tension to loosen, and may
break the needle.

2 Wound poorly

● The bobbin was designed specifically for
this sewing machine. If bobbins from older
models are used, the machine will not
operate correctly. Use only the enclosed
bobbin or bobbins of the same type
(part code: SA156, SFB (XA5539-151)).
● Make sure you turn the power off while
threading the machine. If you
accidentally step on the foot controller
and the machine starts to work, you
could be injured.
