GETTING READY

Check that the needle and thread are compatible with
the needle threader. If they are compatible, continue
with the next step.
• The needle threader can be used with machine
needles 75/11 through 100/16.
• The needle threader cannot be used with the wing
needle or the twin needle.
• When thread such as transparent nylon
monofilament or specialty threads are used, it is not
recommended to use the needle threader.
• If the needle threader cannot be used, insert the
thread through the eye of the needle from front to
back by hand. At this time, be sure that the machine
has been turned off as described in step
d.
l
Pull the end of the thread, which has been passed
through the needle bar thread guide, to the left, pass
the thread under the notch, and then firmly pull the
thread to fully insert it from front to back into the slit
of the thread guide disk (marked “7”).

m
Cut the thread with the thread cutter on the left side of
the machine.
n
Lower the presser foot lever to lower the presser foot.
o
Lower the needle threader lever on the left side of the
machine as much as possible to make the hook turn.
After the threader thread guide disk is lowered (1), the
hook turns (2).

p
Raise the needle threader lever slowly.
q
Carefully pull the end of thread that was passed
through the eye of the needle.
If the needle was not completely threaded, but a loop in
the thread was formed in the eye of the needle, carefully
pull the loop through the eye of the needle to pull out
the end of the thread.
Note
• If the thread is pulled through and cannot be cut
correctly, lower the presser foot lever so that the thread
is held in place before cutting the thread. If this
operation is performed, proceed to step
o.
• When using thread that quickly winds off the spool,
such as metallic thread, it may be difficult to thread the
needle if the thread is cut.
Therefore, instead of using the thread cutter, pull out
about 8 cm (approx. 3 inches) of thread after passing it
through the threader thread guide disk (marked “7”).

Note
• If the needle is not raised to it's highest position, the
needle threader cannot thread the needle. Turn
handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is at its
highest position. The needle is correctly raised when the
mark on the handwheel is at the top, as shown under
step
c on page 15.
