This action disengages the balance wheel from the shaft that operates the machine. Now place a spool of thread on the spool pin (18),as in Fig. 4. Take the end of the thread from the spool and pass it through the bobbin winder tension discs (19) from beneath, The tension discs are located at the Fig. 4 right hand corner of the machine. This telescopic spool feature of your machine. To operate, place the hole of the Fig. 3 Take an empty bobbin and wind seven or eight turns of thread around it to start, Press the bobbin on the stud of the bobbin winder (23) until the little slot on the bobbin engages the pin on the stud. To operate the bobbin winder, merely press it down with your thumb until you hear a “click” sound which means that the rubber wheel of the bobbin winder is in contact with the hub of the bal- ance wheel. Now turn the balance wheel towards you a few times and gently step on the foot pedal. This will cause the bebbin winder to operate. When the bobbin is fully wound, it will automati- cally spring back and stop. Break the thread and remove the bobbin from the bobbin winder stud. To re-engage the balance wheel, hold it with your left hand and with your right hand, turn the stop motion knob (28) away from you-until it is tight. You need not tighten the knob very strongly. pin is a spool over the slightly protruding spool pin and on the resting plate. Exerta slight pressure on the spool and the spool pin will be fully released and enter the hole in the spool. To return the spool pin into the machine press it down- ward with your finger.to remove the bobbin case Turn the balance wheel (22) toward you until the needle is at its high- est position. Pull out the slide plate (10) and reach into the opening with your left hand, and with thumb and forefinger, open the latch and remove the bobbin case, as shown in Fig. 5. If you release the latch and turn the bobbin case downward, the bobbin will drop out (see Fig. 6A). threading the bobbin case Fig. 64 Unwind about 3 or 4 inches of thread from the bobbin. Hold the bobbin case between the thumb and forefinger of your left hand. Take the bobbin between the thumb and forefinger of your right hand and place it in the bobbin case. See that the slot in the bobbin case faces upwards, as shown in Fig. 6A. With the right hand, guide the thread into the slot in the edge of Re Fig. 6C the bobbin case, as shown in Fig. 6B. Now pull the thread to the right under the tension spring and into its delivery eye, as shown in Fig. 6C adjusting the bobbin tension In Fig. 7 you will see the larger screw “A.” Loosen this screw to loosen the tension and tighten the screw to tighten the tension. To know if the tension is correct, hold the bobbin case, as shown in Fig. 6C. If the thread pulls gently without forcing, then the tension is correct. Otherwise adjust the tension accordingly.

Instead, the needle thread will lie straight on the upper surface of the fabric, as shown in B, Fig. 11. If the tension of the bobbin thread is too tight, or the needle thread tension too loose, the bobbin thread will lie straight on the under side of the fabric, as in C, Fig. 11, instead of being centered as shown in A. To regulate the tension, merely turn the dial (1), as shown in Fig. 10. If it is turned right, the tension will be tightened as indicated by the Fig. 10 " «plus dial numbers. The higher the number, the tighter the tension. Tension will be loosened by turning the dial to the left, as indicated by the “minus” dial numbers. Usually, a quarter of a turn is all the tension adjustment needed. To regulate lower tension, follow the instructions on Page 8.
