Use a Schmets 149×7 needle.
Different needle counts are applicable. However, select an appropriate
one according to the thickness of thread and the type of material to be
used. (Nm 70 to Nm 130)
1) Turn the handwheel to bring the needle bar to the highest position
of its stroke.
2) Loosen needle clamp screw 2 . Hold needle 1 so that its scarf
faces toward the feeding direction of material.
3) Insert needle 1 fully into the needle clamp hole until it comes in
contact with the deep end.
4) Firmly tighten needle clamp screw 2 .
Attach the needle so that its eyelet faces toward A for filament thread,
or B for cotton thread so as to prevent stitch skipping of needle thread.
