case base so that the small point U on the base is beneath the point of the sewing hook, as shown in fig. 8 and take out the bobbin case base Q. To replace the base, reverse the operation.

TO WIND THE BOBBIN

(See Fig. 9)

It is necessary to understand the stop motion by which the hand wheel Y can be released when required, thus permitting the winding of bobbins without running the stitching mechanism. Release the hand wheel by turning the stop motion screw X over toward you. It is necessary to hold the hand wheel while loosening the stop motion screw.
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle and push it on as far as it will go. Put a spool of thread on the spool pin R and pass the thread from the spool into the thread guide S,

TO OPERATE THE MACHINE

Raise the presser foot H by means of the presser bar lifter J to prevent

injury to the foot and the feed G.

Place a piece of material under the presser foot and lower the latter upon it.

Turn on the electric current, place the right foot on the rest at the right of the foot controller and turn the foot inward to depress the pedal. This will set the machine in motion, the speed being perfectly controlled by the amount of pressure which should be gradually applied. Operate the machine in this way, without its being threaded, until accustomed to guiding the material and operating the foot controller.

TO REMOVE THE BOBBIN CASE AND BOBBIN (See Fig. 6) Turn the hand wheel over toward you until the thread take-up lever (6, Fig. 15) is at its highest position. Raise the bed extension 1, as far as it
will go, and with the thumb and forefinger of the left hand, open the latch K and withdraw the bobbin case. While the latch is held open, the bobbin is retained in its case. On releasing the latch and turning the case downward, the bobbin will drop out.
