Needle Information
• Use HA-1 SP #14 or #11 needles or system Stretch 130/705 H-S, size #11/75 or #14/90.
• HA-1 SP #11 needles are set on the machine.
You can sew using one or two needles depending on what stitch to use. The left needle and needle clamp screw are marked “L”,
the right needle and needle clamp screw are marked “R”.
Note: When using both needles, the left needle is positioned a little higher up than the right needle (they are not supposed to
be ‘level’, like a twin needle).
Changing the Needles
Turn o the main power switch and unplug the machine.
• Turn the handwheel toward you until the needles are at
the highest position.
• Insert the needle attached to the machine into the hole of
the needle holder (A).
• Loosen, but do not remove the needle clamp screw (B)
with the small screwdriver.
• Remove the selected needle.
Note: When using only one needle, slightly tighten the oth-
er needle clamp screw. This is to prevent loosing the needle
clamp screw.
• Insert a new needle into the needle holder with the flat
side to the rear (C).
• Insert the needle into the needle clamp as far as it will
go. The top of the left needle should touch the edge of
the needle bar (D) and the top of the right needle should
touch the bottom of the needle bar (E).
• Securely tighten the needle clamp screw using the small
screw driver.
• Pull the needle holder down to remove it from the nee-
dle.
Note: Do not over-tighten the screw as this may cause the
needle clamp to be damaged.
Checking the Needle
To make sure the needle is not bent, place the at side of the
needle onto something at (needle plate, glass etc.). The gap
between the needle and the at surface should be consistent.
Never use a bent or blunt needle.
