Check to make sure thread is securely set between

 CAUTION

• If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set 

incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool 
pin and cause the needle to break.

• Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) 

that is closest in size to the thread spool. If a 
spool cap smaller than the thread spool is 
used, the thread may become caught in the slit 
on the end of the spool and cause the needle 
to break.

Memo

• When sewing with fine, cross-wound thread, 

use the small spool cap, and leave a small 
space between the cap and the thread 
spool.
