M and MG Class Machine – Threading
1)
To thread the machine, follow the threading diagram
provided. (Note Section 1) When threading the Looper
Threads, it is convenient to use a Threading Wire (37-318).
Insert the thread or yarn into the eye of the Threading
Wire, pass the Threading Wire through the Thread Eyes
and Tension Discs as shown on the Threading Diagram.
To thread the Lower Looper: Turn the Hand Wheel until
the Needle is in its highest position to locate the
Lower Looper’s eye directly in line with the Lower
Looper Thread Tube; pass the Threading Wire (with the
Lower Looper Thread in its eye) through the Lower Looper
Thread Tube, and the eye of the Lower Looper. Pull the
Lower Looper Thread through to the top of the Needle
Plate. To thread the Upper Looper: Keep the Needle in
the same high position, turn the Hand Wheel to position
if necessary. Bend the threading wire into a curve and
thread its eye with the upper looper thread. Insert
the threading wire into the tube in the Dust Shield
(in some cases this tube is in the Frame Cap). The threading
wire should come out above the Needle Plate and in front
of the Upper Looper. Take the Upper Looper thread out
of the threading wire, and thread through the eye of
the Upper Looper. Care should be taken when threading
the eye of the Upper Looper. Always make sure the thread
is going directly from the tube to the eye of the looper,
and NOT around the Looper.
2)
It is generally advisable to keep the tension on the
threads as light as possible to produce good results.
Always make sure the thread with the least tension is
still controlled, then adjust the other tensions to
balance and form the stitch you desire.
3)
To change the stitch formation consult your nearest
Merrow Distributor. It will be necessary to change the
Threading Plates on the front of the machine, and in
some cases the Needle Thread Take-up.
