When polyester filament thread is used, if the indented part of the needle is tilted toward opera-
tor's side, the loop of thread becomes unstable. As a result, hangnail of thread or thread break-
age may occur. For the thread that such phenomenon is likely to occur, it is effective to attach
the needle with its indented part slightly slanting on the rear side.

When waste thread or cloth dust infil-
trates in section E (between bobbin case
and bobbin), unexpected sewing trouble
will be caused. Remove waste thread or
cloth dust gathered inside the bobbin pe-
riodically when replacing the bobbin or
the like.
When sewing is performed in the state
that the bobbin case is not securely in-
serted into the hook, unexpected trou-
bles may be caused. When setting the
bobbin case to the hook at the time of re-
placement of bobbin or the like, securely
insert the bobbin case into the hook until
the end of the hook is reached.
