Jaguar Pro5 [26/96] Threading the top thread

THREADING THE TOP THREAD

A. Raise the presser foot lifter. Always be sure to raise the

presser foot lifter before threading the top thread. (If the

presser foot lifter is not raised, correct thread tension

cannot be obtained.)

B. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is in its

highest position.

C. Thread the machine with your left hand while firmly

gripping the thread with your right hand in the following

order as illustrated.

* Guide the thread through thread guide (1), and then

pull it into the pre-tension guide (2).

* Pull the thread into the tension discs, passing the

thread to the left of plate (2). Then guide the thread to

the bottom of the groove.

* Guide the thread into the thread guide (3).

* Pass the thread through the eye of the needle (4) from

front to back. (See following page for instructions on

operation of the Automatic Needle Threader.)

IMPORTANT:

To verify that the machine is threaded properly in

the tension discs, do this simple check:

1.) With the presser foot raised, pull the thread

towards the back of the machine. You should

detect only a slight resistance and little or no

deection of the needle.

2.) Now lower the presser foot and again pull the

thread towards the the back of the machine. This

time you should detect a considerable amount

of resistance and much more deflection of the

needle. If you do not detect the resistance you

have miss-threaded the machine and need to re-

thread it.
