CAUTION
• Do not use a damaged race or shuttle. Otherwise, the
thread may tangle and cause a poor finish, or the needle
may break. You can get the proper parts from your
authorized dealer.
• Be sure to insert the race in the correct position. Other-
wise, the needle may break.
8. Assemble the race first then the needle plate.
When installing the race, be sure that the notch of shuttle is in the
same position that it was when the shuttle hook was removed
and that the shelf on the race aligns with the spring.
Install the needle plate by sliding it to the left (the reverse of its
removal procedure).
