To Wind the Bobbin
The balance wheel is released as described on page 13.
Place a spool of thread on spindle 1, from which the
thread is guided under and around tension discs up
to the bobbin winder. Now pass the thread from the
inside through the slot in the left side of the bobbin
and press the bobbin on to the winder spindle 3.
Lightly turn the bobbin and at the same time press it
toward the bobbin winder spindle until the small pin
in the bobbin winder spindle enters the slot in the
right side of the bobbin. Next, press lever 4 downward
so that the bobbin 5 will move downward and will be
held fast in position for winding. The machine should
then be set in motion as for regular sewing. The end
of the thread is held fast with the hand for several
turns of the bobbin, and then the starting end is
broken off. As soon as enough thread is wound on the
bobbin it will automatically disengage itself.
