CAUTION
● The needle threader can only be used with
home sewing machine needles size 75/11-
100/16. Check the table on page 20 for the
appropriate needle and thread combinations.
If you are using transparent nylon mono-
filament thread, you can only use needles in
the range of 90/14-100/16.
● You cannot use the needle threader if you are
using decorative threads or special needles,
such as the twin needle and wing needle.
If you are using those types of threads or
needles, thread the eye of the needle by hand.
Make sure the main power switch is off when
threading the needle by hand.
