Threading The Top Thread - Singer C620L Bedienungs- Und Sicherheitshinweise

THREADING THE TOP THREAD

A. Raise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure
to raise the presser foot lifter before thread-
ing the top thread. (If the presser foot lifter is
not raised, correct thread tension cannot be
obtained.)
B. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the
needle is in its highest position and the thread
take-up is visible.
C. Thread the machine with your left hand
while firmly gripping the thread with your right
Guide the thread through thread guide (1).
•
Pull the thread into the tension discs (2) (which are located inside the machine). Then
•
guide the thread to the bottom of the groove.
Do a U-turn around the inside of the tab (3).
•
Pass the thread through the thread take-up (4) from right to left.
•
Pull the thread into the inside of the take-up lever until it reaches the eye of the lever.
•
Guide the thread into the thread guide (5).
•
Pass the thread through the eye of the needle (6) from front to back. (See following page
•
for instructions on operation of the Automatic Needle Threader.)
IMPORTANT:
To verify that the machine is threaded properly in the tension discs, do this simple check:
1.) With the presser foot raised, pull the thread towards the back of the machine. You should
detect only a slight
resistance and little or no deflection of the needle.
2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the thread towards the back of the machine. This
time you should detect a considerable amount of resistance and much more deflection of the
needle. If you do not detect the resistance you have miss-threaded the machine and need to
re-thread it.
