Replacing The Needle - Delta MD 11871 Manual

Replacing the needle

Turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle
has reached its highest position.
Lower the sewing foot.
Loosen the needle holding screw by turning it
anticlockwise.
Remove the needle from the needle holder.
Insert a new needle with the flat side facing
backwards. Push the needle upwards until it can go
no further.
Tighten the needle holding screw again.
Note:
Regular checking is necessary to ensure that the needle is never twisted or blunt.
Knitting materials, like silk or silk fabrics may frequently encounter knots and
skipping stitches, which are often caused by the damaged needles.
