Operation
Inserting the Needle
WARNING: Risk of Injury!
Before inserting or replacing the needle, unplug the
power supply unit from the sewing machine.
Change the needle regularly, especially if it is bent or the
tip is damaged. A bent needle causes skipped stitches.
Defective needle tips damage the fabric.
Insert the needle as follows:
1. The needle guide must be com-
pletely raised. Turn the handwheel
(6) in the direction of the arrow.
2. Loosen the needle clamp screw
(21) and remove the old needle.
3. Insert the new needle as far as it
will go. The flat side of the needle
must face backwards.
4. Tighten the needle clamp screw again.

in shops. Make sure you get the right size. Not all presser
feet fit every sewing machine.

it up the left side to the thread

on the thread lever (1). Make sure
that the thread is inserted from
