Replacing the Needle
This section describes how to replace the needle.
Needle precautions
Be sure to observe the following precautions
concerning the handling of the needle. Failure to
observe these precautions is extremely dangerous, for
example, if the needle breaks and fragments are
dispersed. Be sure to read and carefully follow the
instructions below.
CAUTION
Checking the needle
Embroidering with a bent needle is extremely
dangerous since the needle may break while the
machine is being operated.
Before using the needle, place the flat side of the
needle on a flat surface and check that the distance
between the needle and the flat surface is even.

CAUTION
● Only use home sewing machine needles.
Use of any other needle may bend the
needle or damage the machine.
● Never use bent needles. Bent needles can
easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
●
If the distance between the needle and the flat
surface is not even, the needle is bent. Do not
use a bent needle.
