this guide by turning the handwheel (K)
slightly counterclockwise (in the direction
toward you) to lower the needle (R).
8. Raise the needle (R) to reach the eye by
turning the handwheel (K) slightly
counterclockwise (toward you). Insert thread
through eye (6) of the needle from the front
toward the back of the machine (use threader
accessory if necessary).

the lever at the rear of machine (G).
