Threading Your Acclaim; Threading Position For Threading; Lower Looper - Baby Lock Acclaim BLES4 Instruction And Reference Manual

Threading Your Acclaim

Your Baby Lock Acclaim is equipped with an exclusive "Electronic RevolutionAir Threading System"
for fast, easy threading of the upper and lower loopers.
One touch of the "Push to Thread" buttons will automatically thread the loopers and needles.
It is no longer necessary to use tweezers for threading the loopers or needles. If a looper thread
breaks or runs out, just re-thread it. There is no need to follow a specific threading sequence.
Threading Lever Position for Threading
1. Open the front cover.
2. Raise the presser foot to release all threads.
3. Set the threading lever from serging position to threading position. (fig. A)
4. Rotate the machine handwheel slowly toward you until the tubes move to their connecting
position. (fig. B)
Note: The Acclaim must be in the locked threading position when threading the loopers and
needles, unless otherwise indicated.

Lower Looper

1. With the presser foot up and threading lever in the threading position. ( fig. A)
2. Place the thread cone or spool on the far right spool pin on the thread stand. (fig. C page 19) Slip
the thread into the telescopic antenna thread guide "1" directly above the spool, snap into the
pretension thread guide "2" at the top of the machine, then through the slot on the front of the
machine. (fig. C page 19)
3. Pull 18 inches (45cm) of thread through guide "3". (fig.C, page 19) Insert the end of the thread
into the threading port "L" about 1/2 inch (1,2cm) . Use tweezers if necessary, to insert the thread
end more easily.
4. Push the threading button (fig. D page 18) . If the thread does not go through the lower looper eye
with one push, push the threading button again until it does. *(page 19)
5. Clip the thread 4 inches (10cm) from the lower looper eye and leave it hanging loose inside the
machine.
6. Once machine is completely threaded for chosen serging application, set the threading lever to
the serging position.
