To Wind the Bobbin

Hold the hand-wheel with the left hand and with the right hand turn toward you the top of the knob to loosen the pulley so that the bobbin can be wound without running the machine.

Oil the loose pulley through a hole in the hub.

Oil the bobbin winder occasionally.

Swing the bobbin winder until its pulley comes in contact with the belt, and place the bobbin on the spindle.

Wind the thread from the spool on the machine once around the arm cap screw on top of the arm, near the hand-wheel, and pass the end of the thread from the inside through the hole in the bobbin; hold the thread firmly until a few turns of the winder cuts off the thread at the bobbin. Be sure that the thread is cut off and does not hang out of the hole in the bobbin to make bad sewing. If necessary, guide the thread with a touch of the finger.

After winding the Bobbin, push down the winder and tighten the pulley securely by turning the knob over from you. Do not forget this.

The inside of the bobbin case should be occasionally wiped out with an oiled rag, to remove lint or dirt. If the bobbin does not revolve with the spindle spread the spindle a little with the screw driver.
