IMPORTANT
• If the spool or the spool cap is not installed
correctly, the thread may become tangled
around the spool pin, and the machine may be
damaged.
• 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. When using mini king thread
spool, use the thread spool insert (mini king
thread spool).

Note
• When using the spool as shown below, use the
thread spool insert (mini king thread spool).
Make sure that the thread spool insert is firmly
inserted. After installing it, pull out some thread,
and check that the thread unwinds without getting
caught.
• 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.
