SETTING THE NEEDLE
See Fig. 3. Raise the needle bar A to its highest
point, turning wheel toward you by hand.
Then loosen the needle clamp screw B and the
needle can be inserted into clamp C. Place needle
(ilat side to right) in the needle clamp and push it
upward as far as it will go into the needle clamp hole,
tightening
the needle clamp screw securely with a
screw driver.
After changing the needle, make one complete
revolution of the balance wheel by hand to be sure
the needle is in the correct position.
WINDING THE BOBBIN
Disengage the hand wheel (5, Fig. 4) from the stitching mech­
anism by turning the clutch (6) toward you or counter-clockwise.
Place a spool of thread on one of the spool pins, lead thread
through the upper thread guides on the arm, and down through
the tension disc (10, Fig. 5) at the base of the machine. Run end
of thread through a hole in the bobbin edge and place bobbin B
on spindle of bobbin winder (8) fitting the notch on bobbin over
small
pin on spindle. Push bobbin winder pulley against hand
wheel. Hold thread end loosely and start machine slowly.
Bobbin will stop winding when it is filled. Turn clutch away
from you until sewing mechanism is again engaged so that needle
moves when you turn the hand wheel.
Break off loose thread end used to start the winding.
