(See Fig. 8)
Fasten the bobbin winder to the table with Its driving pulley In
front of the machine belt, so that the pulley will drop away from the
belt when sufficient thread has been wound upon the bobbin.
Fig. 8. Winding the Bobbin
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle and push It on as
far as It will go, being sure that stud (C) enters a hole In the bobbin.
Pass the thread dcwn through the thread guide (1) In the tension
bracket, around the back and between the tension discs (2). Then wind
the end of the thread around the bobbin a few times, push the bobbin
winder pulley over against the machine belt and start the machine.
When sufficient thread has been wound upon the bobbin, the bobbin
winder will stop automatically.
If the thread does not wind evenly on the bobbin, loosen the
screw (A) In the tension bracket and move the bracket to the right or
left as may be required, then tighten the screw.
The amount of thread wound on the bobbin Is regulated by the
screw (B). To wind more thread on the bobbin, turn the screw (B)
Inwardly. To wind less thread on the bobbin, turn the screw outwardly.
Bobbins can be wound while the machine Is stitching.
