Needle Threader; Changing Thread - Pfaff coverlock 4.0 Owner's Manual

Needle threader

To make threading the needles easier, use the needle
threader included with the accessories.
• Turn the handwheel so the needles are in their highest
position and lower the presser foot. Make sure one
of the rectangular markings of the needle threader is
pointing upwards. Place the thread from right to left in
the notch on the tip of the needle threader.
• Hold the needle threader against the needle. Move
the needle threader down to the needle eye and press
gently against the needle, causing a small metal pin
to push the thread through the needle eye and form a
thread loop.
• Use the needle threader to pull the thread loop out
behind the needle.

Changing thread

The following is an easy way to change threads:
• Cut the thread in use near the spool, behind the guides
on the telescopic thread stand.
• Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on
the spool pin.
• Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old
thread. Cut the thread tails to 2-3 cm in length and
rmly pull both threads to test knot security.
• Raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
• Pull the threads through the machine one at a time
until the knots are in front of the needle. If the threads
do not pull easily, check for tangles on thread guides or
looping under thread stand.
• Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle.
Note: When using standard thread spools, place the thread
unreeling disc as shown to prevent the thread from getting
caught on the edge of the spool.
