When using an electrical appliance, basic safety should always be followed, includ-
ing the following:
Read all instructions before using this sewing machine.
DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock:

THREADING THE MACHINE
Winding the bobbin
1. Place a spool of thread (not
included) on one of the Spool hold-
ers (32).
2. Draw the thread from the spool
through the Thread guide (18).
3. Pass the thread through the hole
in the Bobbin (34) from the inside to
the outside. With the thread coming
out from the top, snap the Bobbin
on the Bobbin winding spindle (31).
4. Push the Bobbin winding spindle
(31) to the right towards the Bobbin
stopper (30).
5. While holding the free end of the
thread, step on the Foot pedal (41)
to start winding. After winding a few
layers, release the Foot pedal and
cut off the free end of the thread.
6. Step on the Foot pedal again to
continue filling the Bobbin (34). The
winding motion slows down when
the Bobbin is full. Cut the thread and
push the Bobbin winding spindle
(31) to the left to remove the
Bobbin.
NOTE: Do not move the Bobbin
winding spindle (31) while the
machine is running. The sewing
motion of the sewing product is
disengaged in the winding process.
