UPPER THREADING
1. Raise the presser foot lever. (If the presser foot is not raised,
the upper thread cannot be threaded.)
Note
In order to ensure that the upper threading is done correctly, this
sewing machine is equipped with an upper threading shutter which
prevents upper threading or needle threading while the presser
foot is lowered.

2. Press the “NEEDLE POSITION” button to raise the needle.
3. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread
comes from the front of the spool.
Note
When threading the sewing machine, be sure that one of the presser feet mentioned in this Operation Manual
is installed.

CAUTION
Be sure to thread the machine properly. Improper threading can cause the thread to tangle
and break the needle, leading to injury.
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 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.
