5-7) Thread Winder - SunStar SWF Series User Manual

5-7) THREAD WINDER

1) Lower thread winding
① Insert the bobbin into the thread winder shaft as in [Fig. 5-14]. Wind the bobbin 5-6 times by hand in the
thread winding direction. Then press the start button, and the thread winding begins.
② If the thread winding status is poor, press the stop button. Then the winding stops immediately.
2) Adjustment of bobbin thread volume
① When winding thread around the bobbin, the thread volume should be some 80% of the bobbin size in terms of
diameter as in [Fig. 5-15].
[CAUTION]
1. If the bobbin thread volume is too high, the
lower thread is not properly released.
2. When the lower thread is wound by 80% of
the standard bobbin size, it means some 80m.
② Bobbin thread volume is adjusted by the thread
winder knob. When the knob is turned clockwise,
the bobbin thread gets thicker. When the knob is
turned counter-clockwise, the bobbin thread gets
thinner.
