Needles
Your overlook sewing machine has been
designed so that it can be used w i t h
ordinary household sewing machine
needles, 130/705H ( 1 5 x 1 ) , but it is never-
theless advisable to use needles ELx

are needles for domestic use and can
also be used w i t h all ordinary household
sewing machines. For normal or thick
fabric, use size 90 and for sheer fabric
size 80 needles. To change the needles,

tion by turning the flywheel towards y o u ,
leaving the presser foot d o w n . Loosen
the needle clamp screws (a) w i t h the
Allen screwdriver (b), to remove the old
needles.
Hold the new needles w i t h the flat side

as they will go. Tighten the screws firmly.
Make sure that the needles clear the
needle plate by turning the flywheel to-
wards you by hand.
