01Troubleshooting guide
Needle breaks or hits the needle plate: what to do
A needle strike is a mechanical warning. Stop immediately: continuing can damage the hook, needle plate or timing.
02
Most likely causes
- The needle is bent, loose or not inserted to the stop.
- Stitch width is too wide for the selected presser foot or straight-stitch plate.
- The fabric is being pulled, deflecting the needle.
03Step
Check in this order
- 01Step 1
Switch off and remove the damaged needle and every fragment.
- 02Step 2
Turn the handwheel slowly by hand with no thread and confirm the needle path is clear.
- 03Step 3
Fit the specified new needle fully into the clamp and tighten with the supplied tool.
- 04Step 4
Select a stitch compatible with the fitted foot and plate, then test without pulling the fabric.
04
What should restore normal sewing
The needle must pass through the opening centrally through a complete handwheel cycle.
Use a suitable needle type and size; thick material does not justify forcing the fabric.
