Placing The Thread Spools On The Spool Pins; Changing Thread; If The Thread Breaks While Sewing - Husqvarna Viking Amber Air S 400 User Manual

Placing the Thread Spools
on the Spool Pins
Place the thread spools over the cone holders on the spool pin.
Firmly insert the spool holder into the spool.
A. If sewing with small thread spools, remove the cone hold-
ers. Place the spool with its slit side up, and put the spool
holder cap on top of it.
B. If the thread slips down from the spool during threading
and/or sewing, put a net over the spool to avoid thread
jams.

Changing Thread

The following is an easy way to change threads:
Cut the thread near the spool, behind the guides on the tele-
scopic 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 approx. 1" (2-3cm) in length and firmly
pull both threads to test knot security.
Raise the presser foot.
First note tension dial settings and then turn the tension dials
down to "0".
Pull the threads through the machine one at a time until the
knots are in front of the needle. If the threads cannot be
pulled easily, check for tangles on thread guides or looping un-
der thread stand.
Cut the thread behind the knot and thread the needle.
Return tension dials to previous settings.

If the Thread Breaks While Sewing

If either of the upper or lower looper threads break while sewing, rethread both threads. Cut both looper threads above the
threading holes, and remove the thread from the holes.
Rethread the loopers following the instructions on page 14-17.
