Title:
How do I wind the bobbin?

The main spool pin cannot be used to wind the bobbin while sewing.

With this machine, you can use the supplemental spool pin to wind the bobbin while sewing using the main spool pin.

The included bobbin was designed specifically for this sewing machine. If bobbins from other models are used, the machine will not operate correctly.

Use only the included bobbin or bobbins of the same type (part code: SA156, SFB: XA5539-051).

While sewing, the bobbin can conveniently be wound.

Turn on the machine, and then open the top cover.
Align the groove in the bobbin with the spring on the bobbin winder shaft, and then set the bobbin on the shaft.

Place the spool of thread on the supplemental spool pin so that the thread unwinds from the front.
Then, slide the spool cap as far aspossible onto the supplemental spool pin to secure the thread spool.

If the thread spool and/or spool cap are set incorrectly, the thread may tangle on the spool pin and cause the needle to break.
Use the spool cap (large, medium, or small) that is closest in size to the thread spool. If a spool cap smaller than the thread spool is used, the thread may become caught in the slit on the end of the spool.

While holding the thread from the spool in your right hand, hold the end of the thread
with your left hand, and then pass the thread through the thread guide.

Pass the thread under the pin on the bobbin winding thread guide, and then pass it around the pretension disk.
* Make sure that the thread passes under the pretension disk.

Pass the end of the thread through the guide slit in the bobbin winder seat, and then pull the thread to the right to cut it with the cutter.

Be sure to follow the process described.

If the thread is not cut with the cutter, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low, it may tangle around the bobbin.

Slide the bobbin holder to the left until it snaps into place.
* When the bobbin holder is set to the left, it works as a switch to make the bobbin wind automatically.

=> The bobbin stops spinning automatically when it is full, and the bobbin holder returns to its original position.

When removing the bobbin, pull up only on the bobbin.

Do not pull on the bobbin winder seat, otherwise it may become loose, resulting in damage to the machine.

Turn on the machine.
Open the top cover.
Align the groove in the bobbin with the spring on the bobbin winder shaft, and then slide the bobbin onto the shaft.

Pivot the spool pin so that it angles upward, and then place the spool of thread on the spool pin.
* Make sure that the thread unwinds from the front.

Slide the spool cap as far as possible onto the spool pin, and then return the spool pin to its original position.
While holding the thread from the spool with both hands, pull the thread through the lower notch in the thread guide plate, then through the upper notch.

Pass the thread under the pin on the bobbin winding thread guide, and then pass it around the pretension disk.
* Make sure that the thread passes under the pretension disk.

Pass the end of the thread through the guide slit in the bobbin winder seat, and then pull the thread to the right to cut it with the cutter.

Be sure to follow the process described.

If the thread is not cut with the cutter, and the bobbin is wound, when the thread runs low, it may tangle around the bobbin.
