Cleaning the bobbin case
Thread wax and dust easily collect around the hole
in the tension-adjusting spring on the bobbin case,
resulting in an incorrect thread tension. Therefore, it
should be cleaned each time when the bobbin is
changed.
Use a piece of paper with the thickness of a business
card.

Open the hook cover, remove the bobbin
case, and then remove the bobbin. (Refer to
page 18.)

spring to remove any dust.
