Place the bobbin so its thread runs off counterclockwise; route through the front notch, guide path 1 and guide path 2/slit, then replace the hook cover.
Press the lockout key first; hold the bobbin while threading. If thread does not exit the side notch, rethread from step 1. Follow every remaining step on the cited page.; Unless otherwise noted, sewing may begin without drawing up the bobbin thread; the manual separately refers to printed page 15 for drawing it up.
Fine fabrics: Blue tip or Universal needle #9/65–11/75; medium: Red tip, Purple tip or Universal #11/75–14/90; heavy: Red tip, Purple tip or Universal #14/90–16/100.
These are the exact chart's fabric-dependent recommendations, not a formal system or arbitrary substitution rule. Preserve the chart's silk/cotton/synthetic thread conditions and test thread/needle size on a scrap of the actual fabric.
Use the straight-stitch needle plate when sewing with the dual feed foot; patterns unsuitable for that plate cannot be selected.
Raise needle and presser foot and press lockout before changing the plate. After the plate locks, ensure the warning disappears and straight stitch is selected; turn the handwheel slowly to check needle clearance before unlocking. Never press the plate-release lever while running. No unrelated foot or plate item-fit claim.
Switch power off AND unplug before cleaning; do not dismantle beyond the manual's stated procedure. This is a hook-cleaning interval, not an oiling or general-service interval.
Remove the needle plate, needle, presser foot, bobbin and holder; brush the holder, feed dog and auto thread cutter, wipe the holder/hook race, then refit the holder with its knob next to the stopper.
Power off and unplug first; follow all removal and reassembly steps in this exact manual. Bobbin-holder cleaner is not a general oil or solvent recommendation.

Insertion orientation: Insert the needle with its flat side to the rear, push it against the stopper pin and tighten the clamp screw firmly with a screwdriver.
Fabric size recommendation: Fine fabrics: Blue tip or Universal needle #9/65–11/75; medium: Red tip, Purple tip or Universal #11/75–14/90; heavy: Red tip, Purple tip or Universal #14/90–16/100.
