4889M
Thread the upper thread correctly as shown in the illustration.
▪ When pulling the thread out from the zigzag thread tension (1), move the tension release lever (2) in the direction of the
arrow to open the tension discs (3) in order to make it easier to pull out the thread.
▪ After threading the arm thread guide (4), pass the thread under the thread guide (5) as shown in the illustration to make it
easier to thread.
▪ Push the needle bar to the right to make it easier to pass the thread through the needle.
*
When the sewing machine is threaded in threading mode, the tension discs (3) will be open and the needle will be moved to
the right to make it easier to thread the upper thread. (Refer to the next page.)
NOTE:
▪ If you start sewing without passing the thread through the thread guide (5), error "E600" will be generated and the sewing
machine will stop.
▪ The thread tension (6) is used to prevent the upper thread from becoming knotted, tangled or loose, so do not touch it. It is
tightened only gently. If it is tightened too firmly, the knob may become damaged.
