Changing the needle plate
~
Switch off the main switch
It is very important to clean and oil the sewing
machine. because it will reward you with a
longer service life. The more often you use the
machine. the more care it needs.
Removal:
- Raise the sewing foot and remove the deta-
chable work support.
- Push the point of a small screwdriver into
the open ing between needle plate and
sewing machine. Twist it lightly to the right
and the needle plate will snap half way out
of its mounting. Now push the screwdriver
into the left opening and take the needle
plate out.
Replacing
- Place the needle on flat at the back and
push it down with both hands at the front
until you hear it snap in place. Before you
start sewing. check that the needle plate is
lying flat.
