HELPFUL HINTS
REPLACING THREAD SPOOLS
When replacing thread spools, the
following steps may be helpful for quick
changeover.
1. Cut off existing threads near the
spools. Tie the cut ends thread from
new spools as illustrated (seamen’s
knot).
2. Raise presser foot.
3. Lower needle bar to its lowest
position by turning hand wheel
away from you. Carefully pull the
existing threads until the connecting
knots pass through needle eye and
looper eyes.
CUTTING NEEDLE THREAD
Frayed thread may make needle
threading difficult.
Draw the thread near the thread cutter
on the needle plate and push the thread
cutter lever (model 320 only) or draw
the thread passing under the moving
cutter and turn hand wheel towards you
to obtain clear cut end as illustrated.
