'!KrnaiLi^mrig[W№;!W!W-.-ry.:j: HOW TO WIND THE BOBBIN Turn the clutch in the center of the hand, wheel (Fig. 4) toward you to disengage the sewing mechanism. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin on the bed of the machine (Fig. 5). Pass thread through tension disc A. Insert thread through a hole on edge of bobbin and ^ace bobbin on spindle (B) of winder. Be sure that the notch in the bobbin fits over the small pin on the spindle.
HOW TO THREAD THE BOBBIN CASE| Refer to Figs. 6, 7 and 8 to familiarize yourself with the procedure. Hold the bobbin case in your left hand with the tongue pointing up. Let about two inches of thread hang free from the bobbin, and insert bobbin into case so that tljiread will be rotating counter-clockwise. Guide the thread end through the slot on the side of the case aid under the tension spring until it enters the small notch on the edge of the spring. .. -:i ■■'I -.■m Fig. 6 ^W' Fig. 7 Fig.

Pull three or four inches of thread through needle.
Hold the end of upper thread loosely and turn hand wheel toward you until the needle goes all the way down and comes back up. A loop ^^Fig. 11) will be formed over the upper thread which then can be pulled out straight. Place both thread ends under the slot of the presser foot and draw toward the back of the machine, leaving both threads three or four inches long. SETTING THE STITCH LENGTH The length of the stitch and reverse sewing are both regulated by the lever A, Fig. 12.
1 ADJUSTING THE TENSIONS Always adjust tlie upper tension, with, the presser foot down, as the tension is automatically released when it is raised. To increase the tension on the upper thread, turn dial (iigj 13) clockwise, or toward you. To decrease, turn iaway from you. The higher the number on the dial the tighter the ten sion. Before adjusting lower tension be sure that the ma chine is threaded properly. When necessary to change the bobbin tension, tum small screw (Fig.
HOW TO USE THE DARNER, ADJUST PRESSURE To release the pressure from the presser foot so the material can. be moved freely for darning and mending, press down snap lock (A, Fig. 16) and cap B will pop up. To return pressure to normal, push darner cap B all the way down again. For a slighter pressure when sewing thin materials, push darner only part way down. Test for correct position on a scrap of fabric.
PREPARING TO SEW Have take-up lever at higiiest point before starting to sew. Aft^r threading, NEVER run machine without material between presser foot and feed. Place material and threads in position under presser foot and low^ the presser foot. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest poinf. You are now ready to begin sewing. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.

CLEANING AND OILING THE SHUTTLE The stitch forming mechanism occasionally becomes clogged with loose threads and lint. This will interfere with the efficient operation of the machine. Cleaning and removal of the lint will safeguard the performance. To remove shuttle: 1. Turn the balance wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. Tilt head back on its hinges. Remove bobbin case (Ä), Fig. 21. 3.
CHECK UP FOR SMOOTH SEWIN0 Although your sewtng uraohin, is designed for nraxtoun. efficienoy, should any of followrug diflioulties occur they o«r be remedied with minor adjustments. Upper Tiiread. Breaks Be sure needle is inserted properly. Ckeck on correct way to thread machine. Use correct needle size for thread. Do not have upper tension too tight. Lower Thread Breaks Check correct method of threading bobbin case. Be sure lower tension is not too tight.
