3. Loosen the needle bar clamp screw with the
2.5 mm Allen wrench.
4. Remove the old needle by pulling it down. Discard the old needle in a safe way.
5. With the scarf of the needle (indentation at
the back of the needle) facing the rear of the
machine and the long groove down the front
of the needle facing the front of the machine,
push the needle all the way up into the needle
bar until it stops.
U CAUTION: Confirm that the needle is fully inserted and can go no farther up into the needle bar.
The needle bar has a sight hole on the opposite side of the needle bar clamp screw. Make sure
the needle is touching the top of the sight opening. If it isn't, the machine timing will be off and
it may be possible for the needle to collide with internal parts causing damage not covered by
warranty.
6. Fully tighten the needle bar clamp screw.
U CAUTION: Although you can use your fingers to tighten the needle bar clamp screw, we recommend
that after finger tightening the screw you use the 2.5 mm Allen wrench to tighten it just a bit
more. The Baby Lock Coronet runs at high speeds and this ensures the needle will not loosen while
quilting.
U CAUTION: Do not over tighten the needle clamp screw as this may strip the threads of the screw.
Stripped threads are not covered under the warranty. It may also become difficult to insert the
needle properly into the needle bar. Once the screw no longer turns freely by hand, gently turn the
screwdriver until the screw is tightened snuggly.
