Threading The Upper Thread - Singer 8280 Bedienungsanleitung

Threading the upper thread

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly as by not
doing so several sewing problems could result
- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and also raise the
presser foot to release the tension discs.
Note:
For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the power before
threading.
- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the
thread coming off the spool as shown. For small thread spools, place
small side of spool holder next to spool.(2)
- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3) and pulling
thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated.
- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel and up left
channel (4). During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between
the spool and thread guide (3).
- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through the
slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (5)
- Now pass thread behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (6) and then
down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back. Pull
about 6-8 inches of thread to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread
to length with built in thread cutter.
