Press the automatic needle-threading button.
X The hook on the automatic needle-
threading mechanism passes through the
eye of the needle.
Note
● To avoid damage, the automatic needle-
threading mechanism may return to the
back position when you turn the
handwheel.
● The automatic needle-threading mechanism
can thread one needle at the sewing
position. When this mechanism is used, be
sure that the needle bar that you want to
thread is positioned as the sewing position,
otherwise the automatic needle-threading
mechanism cannot be used at the particular
needle. If the needle bar is not at the sewing
position, move it there. (Refer to page 40.)

Pull out about 15 cm (6 inches) of thread.
Allow thread to relax and eliminate any stress
on the thread. Then, as shown in the
illustration, pass the thread under the fork of
the automatic needle-threading mechanism
from the right, and then catch the thread with
the hook that passes through the eye of the
needle.

Note
● When catching the thread with the hook, be
careful that the thread does not become
loose.
● If the needle is not fully inserted, the
hook of the automatic needle-threading
mechanism will not pass through the eye
of the needle during automatic needle
threading, and the hook may bend or the
needle cannot be threaded.
● If the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is bent or
damaged, contact your authorized
retailer.
● While the hook of the automatic needle-
threading mechanism is passed through
the eye of the needle, do not rotate the
handwheel, otherwise the automatic
needle-threading mechanism may be
damaged.
