Draw thread from spool through bobbin winder tension disc. 2. Wind thread around an empty bobbin several times. 3. Place bobbin onto bobbin winder shaft with thread wound on bobbin clockwise. 4. Push bobbin winder latch against bobbin until it clicks. 5. Release clutch by pulling handwheel as shown. 6. Start machine, holding onto end of thread. 7. When bobbin is slightly filled, release end of thread. 8. When bobbin is full, winding mechanism stops. **Top Tension Control** Regulating the top thread tension is crucial for smooth stitching. The control consists of discs between which the thread passes. Adjust the dial on the front of the control to change the pressure on these disks. A higher number indicates tighter tension. The required tension depends on fabric stiffness, thickness, and stitch type. **Testing Stitching** Test stitching on a scrap of fabric before starting a garment to ensure proper tension. A perfect straight stitch will have threads locked between layers with no loops.

Needle plates for front-facing shuttle and side-facing shuttle. To adjust the presser foot: 1 . Pressureregulator to max 2 . Lower pressure foot lever 3 . Loosen thumbscrew end, ensuring presser foot is seated properly 4 . Tighten thumbscrew if necessary Adjusting the height of the presser foot for needle plate: 1 . Raise presser foot lever and loosen screws on presser bar holder 2 . Adjust the height of the presser foot to coincide with the needle plate 3 . Turn handwheel completely and tighten screws securely after adjustment Setting special stitch dial: 1 . Set stitch dial at red \"S\" or red dot 2 . Check and adjust needle position according to instructions on I)-2 Checking needle swing: 1 . Use adjusted straight-stitch needle plate 2 . Rotate hand wheel one complete turn, checking needle swing by turning stitch width control from \"S\" or red dot to \"4\" 3 . If needle swing is not equal in Step No. 1 and Step No. 2, adjust the needle plate using eccentric tool (See Figure) . Preparing needle plate for straight stitching: 1 . Set stitch width control at 0 2 . Reverse sliding center plate (See Figures l & 21) or place Insert for straight stitch onto the needle plate (See Figure 3) 3 . Turn handwheel and check if needle goes through the needle hole at the center FIGURE A-f: Manual suitable for five products.
