1. To start a new cone of thread, push the plastic thread tubes up from behind the thread tree. Place the
cone of thread on the thread seat. The thread tube should extend ½ to 1 inch above the cone.
Neglecting to extend the tube ½ to 1 inch above the cone could result in frequent thread breaks.
2. Using either the mono-filament provided in the operator's kit or a can of compressed air, feed the
thread through the thread tube from the cone to the small hole behind the thread feeder assembly.
To use the monofilament, locate the small hole behind the thread feed assembly. Push the
o
monofilament into this hole and up through the supply tube until the end extends above the
cone of thread. Then, secure the end of the thread in the notch of the monofilament and
slowly pull the thread through the tube.
If using compressed air, place the end of the thread in to the top of the thread supply tube.
o
Feed enough that the thread will stay without holding it. Now blow the compressed air into
the tube. The air will carry the thread and shoot out the front of the machine.
3. Using the black tab just in front, lift the pinch roller.
