Operation Manual

Changing Needles

Never use a bent or blunt needle, as it may cause

skipped stitches or thread breakage. Defective

needles can ruin the fabric. Always purchase good

quality needles. Change needles often.

Turn OFF the power switch. Hand turn the flywheel

to bring needle up to highest position. Lower the

presser foot.

Turn the needle clamp screw q

counterclockwise to loosen. Remove the needle

from the clamp.

Insert the new needle into needle clamp with th

flat side

w to the back, pushing it up as far as it

will go. Tighten the clamp screw firmly.

To determine if the needle is defective, place the

flat side of the needle on something flat (a needle

plate, piece of glass, etc.). The gap between the

needle and the flat surface should be consistent.

NOTE

: Use a 75/11 needle for fine fabrics and a

90/14 needle for medium to heavyweight fabrics.

Your machine comes inserted with a 75/11

needle.
