Changing the Needle

The use of the needle inserter is recommended and prevents the needle from falling into the feed dog area.
(see page 23)
Correctly inserted needles are not at the same height.
The needle holder screws must always be tightened, even if no needles are inserted. This prevents the needle
holding screws from falling out because of vibrations.
Damage due to Excessive Tightening of the Screws
NOTICE
The threads of the needle holder may be damaged. A repair by the authorized BERNINA dealer is required.
> Do not overtighten the needle screws.
Prerequisite:
• The needles are in the top position.
• The presser foot is up and swung out.
