Winding/Installing the Bobbin
20
b
Remove the spool cap and place the spool of thread for
the bobbin onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool onto the spool pin so that the thread
unwinds to the front from the bottom.
1 The thread unwinds to the front from the bottom.
c
Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool cap as far as possible to the right, as
shown, with the rounded side on the left.
d
While holding the pulled-out thread so that there is no
slack in it, pass the thread under the hook of the thread
guide, then under the thread guide cover and to the
front.

thread guide, and then wind it counterclockwise under
the pretension disk.
1 Bobbin winding thread guide
2 Pretension disk
3 Pull it in as far as possible
IMPORTANT
If the spool or the spool cap is not installed
correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, and the machine may be
damaged.
Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing
you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size
of spool being used. If the spool cap is too
small for the spool being used, the thread may
catch on the slit in the spool or the machine
may be damaged. When using mini king thread
spool, use the thread spool insert (mini king
thread spool).

Note
When using the spool as shown below, use the
thread spool insert (mini king thread spool).
Make sure that the thread spool insert is firmly
inserted. After installing it, pull out some thread,
and check that the thread unwinds without getting
caught.
When using thread that winds off quickly, such as
transparent nylon thread or metallic thread, place
the spool net over the spool before placing the
spool of thread onto the spool pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of
the spool.
Note
Make sure that the thread is passed under the
pretension disk.
