Removing The Bobbin Case; Inserting The Bobbin Case - Singer HA-1 Instruction Manual

THE BOBBIN CASE
Important
In the follow-
ing opera-
tions, the nee-
dle must al-
ways be
above the sur-
face of the
machine. In
raising the
needle, al-
ways turn the
hand wheel
toward you.

REMOVING THE BOBBIN CASE

Slide or lift the access plate. (Fig. 4) With left thumb and forefin-
ger, open the hinged latch (A-Fig. 2) on the bobbin case, and hold
securely as you withdraw it from the post. (D-Fig. 2) *Note the
position of your fingers on the latch, because it is important to grip
it the same way when reinserting it into the machine.

INSERTING THE BOBBIN CASE

After installing the bobbin in the case, grip the latch with your fin-
gers in the same position* as when you removed it. (Note: If you
grip it with your fingers pointed directly toward the case, it will be
difficult to install it in the machine.) Guide the bobbin case back
onto the post with the finger (B-Fig. 2) into the notch (C-Fig. 2).
This should be an easy operation requiring no force. When you
release the latch, it will snap onto the groove on the post, and the
three or four inches of thread hanging free from the bobbin case
will be brought up through the needle plate as shown on page 8.
