Place the spool of thread for the bobbin onto the spool
pin.
Slide the spool onto the pin so that the spool is
horizontal and the thread unwinds to the front at the
bottom.
• If the spool is not positioned so that the thread
unwinds correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin.
f
Slide the spool cap onto the spool pin.
Slide the spool cap as far as possible to the right, as
shown, with the rounded side on the left.
CAUTION
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed
correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, causing the needle to
break.
• Three spool cap sizes are available, allowing
you to choose a spool cap that best fits the size
of spool being used. If the spool cap is too
small for the spool being used, the thread may
catch on the slit in the spool or the machine
may be damaged.
Memo
• When sewing with fine, cross-wound thread, use
the small spool cap, and leave a small space
between the cap and the spool.

• When using thread that winds off quickly, such as
metallic thread, place the spool net over the spool
before placing the spool of thread onto the spool
pin.
If the spool net is too long, fold it to fit the size of
the spool.

• If a spool of thread whose core is 12 mm (1/2
inch) in diameter and 75 mm (3 inches) high is
inserted onto the spool pin, use the thread spool
insert (mini king thread spool).
