Threading the Machine

Raise the presser bar lifter and swing the spool pins up to the vertical position. Place spool 1 on one of the spool pins
and lead the thread behind both scrolls of thread retainer 2 (se ill. at top of p. 17). Hold the thread on the right and left
of the thread retainer and pull it toward you until it snaps into the eyelets. It suffices to draw the thread into the left eyelet.

Pull the thread between any two of the tension discs 3 (see ill. at bottom of p. 17) and jerk it far to the right so that it slips
properly into the slot and under the thread check spring. As you do this, press the thread against the casting between
spool and tension.

Bring take-up lever 4 as high as it will go and pass the thread ad from right to left through the hole at its end. Lead the
thread down and into slot 5. Then thread the needle from front to back.

Hold the upper thread loosely with your left hand.

Turn the balance wheel toward you with your right hand until the needle moves down and up again to the highest point, then stop the balance wheel and pull the upper thread slowly to bring up the lower thread through the needle hole to pick up the bobbin thread.

Place both ends of the threads back under the presser foot.
