Changing The Needle - Titan TN-1341 Instruction Manual

1. Turn the handwheel to bring the needle bar to the highest position of its stroke.
2. Loosen needle clamp screw (Fig 11, Item 2) and hold needle so that the long groove in the
needle is facing exactly to the left. This means the scarf should be facing the inside of the
machine body.
3. Push needle as far into the needle bar (upwards) into the needle clamp hole until it will go
no further.
4. Tighten needle clamp screw firmly.
Notes on changing the needle:
• It is recommended to only loosen the needle screw. Removing the needle screw
completely can increase the chance that the screw can be reinserted incorrectly and
cross threading the needle bar.
• If your machine skips stitches, or any other inconsistency, change the needle.
Damage to needles can be hard to see and are not always obvious. Changing the
needle is a great habit when trying to resolve issues.
