Using and maintaining this machine

Check the conditions alongside each answer. Foot attachment, shank type and adapter requirements are separate; one does not establish universal accessory fit.

Source evidence · 1 unique proof passage: Profile Proof E1

Insertion orientation

conditional

Insert with thread running counterclockwise; hold the bobbin, thread the front notch and guide paths 1 then 2, confirming exit at the side notch, then replace the hook cover.

  • Always make sure to press the lockout key to lockout the machine or turn the power switch off before inserting the bobbin.; If thread does not exit the side notch, rethread from step 1. Follow all steps on the cited page; unless otherwise noted, sewing can start without drawing up bobbin thread.

What this passage supports

  • Insertion orientation: Insert with thread running counterclockwise; hold the bobbin, thread the front notch and guide paths 1 then 2, confirming exit at the side notch, then replace the hook cover.
Always make sure to press the lockout key to lockout the machine or turn the power switch off before inserting the bobbin. Place a bobbin in the bobbin holder with the thread running off counterclockwise as shown on the hook cover plate. Hold the bobbin with your fingertip so it does not rotate. Guide the thread into the front notch of the bobbin holder. Pull the thread to the left to pass it under the guide. Draw the thread to the left to pass it into the guide path marked “1”. Make sure that the thread comes out from the side notch of the bobbin holder. If the thread does not come out from the side notch, rethread from step 1. Continue to draw the thread along the guide path marked “2” and pull the thread to the right through the slit. The thread will be cut to a proper length and held in place. Set the left edge of the hook cover plate into opening. Push down the hook cover plate to fit in place. Unless otherwise noted, you can start sewing without drawing up the bobbin thread.
