Changing the Needle

The needle threader/inserter is located in the accessory holder on the threader cover. The use of the needle
inserter is recommended and prevents the needle from falling into the feed dog area.
The needle holder screws must always be tightened, even if no needles are inserted, so falling out of the
needle holder screws is excluded by vibration. Correctly inserted needles are not at the same height.
NOTICE Damage due to excessive tightening of the screws
The needle screw treads may be damaged. A repair by the specialist retailer BERNINA is required.
> Do not overtighten the needle screws.
Prerequisite:
• The needles are in the top position.
• The presser foot is raised and swung out.
> Guide the needle inserter from below over the needle and loosen the needle screw using the supplied
hex screw driver.
> Remove the needle downwards and place it in the needle box or needle pad behind the threader cover.
