Changing Needle - Janome Sewing Machine Instruction Book

Changing Needle

Raise the needle by turning the
handwheel toward you and lower
the presser foot.
Turn off the power switch.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it counter-clockwise.
Remove the needle from the clamp.
Insert the new needle into the needle clamp with the flat side away from
you.
When inserting the needle into the clamp, push it up as far as it will go
and tighten the clamp screw firmly with the screwdriver.
* Check your needles frequently for barbed or blunted points. Snags
and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are permanet and are
almost always caused by a damaged needle.
