Threading Manually
Automatic threading cannot be used when using 
the wing needle, the twin needle, or special thread 
with a thickness of 130/20 or thicker. In these 
cases, thread the needle as described below.
a
Turn the main power to ON. 
b
Turn the handwheel so that the line on the 
machine is aligned with the line on the 
handwheel.
a Line on handwheel
c
Press 
at the lower right of the LCD 
screen.
→ The entire screen becomes white, and all keys and 
operation buttons are locked.
Note
When the “Automatic Threading” button is 
pressed, the presser foot will be automatically 
lowered. 
If you are using an incorrect needle and thread 
combination, the hook may sometimes get 
caught in the needle. If this happens, remove 
the hook from the needle as described below.
 CAUTION
• The needle thread carrier will automatically 
thread the needle when the “Automatic 
Threading” button is pressed. Be sure to keep 
your hands and other items away from the 
needle area, otherwise injuries may occur.
 CAUTION
• Before manually threading the machine, be 
sure to press 
 in the LCD, otherwise 
injuries may occur if the “Start/Stop” button 
or any other button is pressed and the 
machine starts sewing.
Memo
If the line on the machine is not aligned with 
the line on the handwheel, the sewing 
machine cannot be threaded. Check that the 
line on the handwheel is facing up as shown in 
the illustration above.
