then wind the thread counterclockwise
between the discs, pulling it in as far as
possible.

d Pull it in as far as possible.
Note
● Make sure that the thread is pulled as far as
possible into the pretension disk, otherwise
the bobbin may not be wound cleanly.
h
Put the bobbin onto the bobbin winder shaft
and slide the bobbin winder shaft to the right.
Turn the bobbin clockwise, by hand, until the
spring on the shaft slides into the notch in the
bobbin.
• Make sure to pull out 7 to 10 cm (2-3/4 to
3-15/16 inches) of thread from the hole on
the bobbin.

Turn on the sewing machine.
j
While holding the end of the thread, gently
press the foot controller or press
(start/
stop button) (for models equipped with the
start/stop button) to wind the thread around
the bobbin a few times. Then stop the
machine.
Note
● If the sewing machine is to be operated
using the foot controller, connect the foot
controller before turning on the machine.
● When the foot controller is plugged in, the
start/stop button cannot be used to start
sewing (only for models equipped with the
start/stop button).
k
Trim the excess thread above the bobbin.
● Pull the thread taut and hold the end of the
thread straight up. If the thread is too short,
not pulled taut or held at an angle, injuries
may occur when the thread is wound around
the bobbin.
● 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.
