Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any objects against the machine while winding the lower thread, as this
may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

the bobbin capacity) has been wound on.
7. Release the foot switch (2).
8. Remove the bobbin,
hook the thread onto
the knife (4), and then
pull the bobbin in the
