The hook on the automatic needle-
threading mechanism passes through the 
eye of the needle.

CAUTION

Note

●

To avoid damage, the automatic needle-
threading mechanism may return to the 
back position when you turn the 
handwheel.

●

The automatic needle-threading 
mechanism can thread one needle at the 
sewing position. When this mechanism is 
used, be sure that the needle bar that you 
want to thread is positioned as the sewing 
position, otherwise the automatic needle-
threading mechanism cannot be used at 
the particular needle. If the needle bar is 
not at the sewing position, move it there. 
(Refer to page 61.)

Pull out about 150 mm (6 inches) of thread. 
Allow thread to relax and eliminate any 
stress on the thread. Then, as shown in the 
illustration, pass the thread under the fork of 
the automatic needle-threading mechanism 
from the right, and then catch the thread 
with the hook that passes through the eye of 
the needle.

Note

●

When catching the thread with the hook, 
be careful that the thread does not become 
loose.

●

If the needle is not fully inserted, the 
hook of the automatic needle-threading 
mechanism will not pass through the 
eye of the needle during automatic 
needle threading, and the hook may 
bend or the needle cannot be threaded.

●

If the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is bent or 
damaged, contact your authorized 
dealer.

●

While the hook of the automatic 
needle-threading mechanism is passed 
through the eye of the needle, do not 
rotate the handwheel, otherwise the 
automatic needle-threading mechanism 
may be damaged.
