this thread guide by turning the handwheel
(K) slightly counter-clockwise (in the direction
toward you) to lower the needle (R).

from the front toward the back ofthe machine.
(Use threader if necessary). If necessary,
raise the needle (R) to reach the eye by
turning the handwheel (K) slightly clockwise
(In the direction away from you).

(toward you). Needle (R) will go down, picking
up the bobbin thread. Turn handwheel (K)
until needle (R) has descended completely
and then come up again to its highest raised
point. Stop when needle (R) starts to go down
again.
