INSTRUCTIONS

First throw the upper fly wheel out of gear by screwing the milled nut on the outside over from you.

Pass the thread from the reel "a", through the guide "b" at top of belt protector, round the small wire on "c" from above to below, cross the thread (see illustration), and guide it through the small hole of bobbin disc. This small hole cut in the brass will be seen in one end of the bobbin, into which fits a tiny pin projecting from the spindle of the winder.

Catch the thread between the tiny pin and the hole, and let the flat plate "e" press up against it; press the small lever "f" towards you, then, by driving the Machine, the bobbin will be wound as level as a reel.

When filled by this contrivance more thread will fit on a bobbin and an even stitch be obtained.

Do not forget to put a drop of oil in the little hole "g" to the right, and to the two points of the bobbin. Cast the upper fly-wheel loose when spooling the thread.
