To
remove
the bobbin
case,
rotate
the
ba
lance
wheel
until
the

at
the
top of
its

as
illustrated.
Lift
latch
k
on
the
bobbin
case
and
pull
out
the
bobbin
case
with
the
bob

The
bobbin
cannot
fall
out
as
long
as
you
hold
the
case
by
its
open
latch.
When
you
release
the
latch,
the
empty
bobbin
drops
out.
On
the
Ptaft
85,
the
bobbin
case
is
removed
just
like
on
the
Pfaff

To
get
at the
bobbin
case,
however,
you
must
first
open
free

by
swinging
it
toward
the
left.

bobbin
winding,
disengage
the sewing
mechanism.
Hold
balance wheel
(8)
while
turning
stop

(9)
toward
you
(see ill.).
To engage the sewing mechanism
after
the
bobbin
has
been
wound,
turn
the stop mo
tion
knob away from
you
(as
indicated
by
an
arrow
in
the
ill.).
Pass
the
thread around
the thread
retainer
stud
in
the direction indicated
by
an
arrow.
Place
a
bobbin
on
the
bobbin
winder
spindle,
making
sure
that
key

its
base
enters
slot

in the
bobbin
(see

Wind
a
few
turns
of
thread
on
the
bobbin
and push
the
bobbin
toward
the
right.
Start
the
ma

it is pushed
toward
the
left
and
can
be
removed
from
the
spindle.

winds
toward
the right
and
place
it in
the
bobbin

the thread
into slot
(2)
and
under
spring

As you
pull the

from
the
bobbin
case.

the
baseplate
of the machine.
