LEVELLING THE MACHINE
If the sewing machine is not level, remove the
sewing table and adjust the levelling by turning the
foot as illustrated.
REPLACING NEEDLE
1. Turn off power.
2. Raise needle to its highest position.
3. Loosen needle clamp screw, remove the old needle.
4. If any needle is deformed, bent or damaged, replace
with a new needle.
5. With the flat side of the needle facing away from
you, insert needle as far up as it will go.
6. Tighten the needle clamp screw securely.
To determine if the needle is bad, place the flat side of
the needle on something flat (a needle plate, piece of
glass, etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat
surface should be even.
Never use a bent or broken needle. It may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Bad needles can
ruin the fabric.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needle
often.
