7-1. Selecting the needle and thread

Refer to the table at right for details on which needle and
thread to select.
Note: Use buttons which have a hole diameter that is
greater than the value given in the table, to ensure
that the needle does not touch the button.

7-2. Installing the needle

7-3. Threading the upper thread

Turn off the power switch before threading the thread, otherwise the machine may operate if the foot switch is
depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
Thread the upper thread correctly as shown in the illustration below.
* If the tension release lever (1) is raised in the direction of the arrow, it will be easier to open the tension disc (2) and pull the
thread through.
