For the USA and Canada

This machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

2:2
USB PORT
On the right side of your machine you will find a USB port to
connect your USB stick.
Note: Make sure that the USB stick you use has the format
FAT32.

Connect to and remove from USB port

Insert the USB stick in the USB port on the right side of your
machine. The USB plug can only be inserted one way - do not
force it into the port!
To remove, carefully pull the USB stick out straight.

Using the USB embroidery stick

When loading from or saving to the USB embroidery stick an
hourglass appears on the screen.
Note: Do not remove the USB embroidery stick when the
hourglass is shown on the screen or while the file manager is
shown. Removing the stick at that time can damage the files on
your USB embroidery stick.

Set Up 2:3
 SPOOL PINS AND SPOOL CAPS
Your machine has two spool pins, a main spool pin and an auxiliary spool pin. The spool pins are designed for all types of thread.
The main spool pin is adjustable and can be used in a horizontal position (the thread reels off the stationary spool) or in a vertical
position (the thread spool rotates). Use the horizontal position for all regular embroidery threads and the vertical position for large
spools or specialty threads.

Horizontal Position
Lift the spool pin up slightly from its horizontal position to
easily place the thread spool on the pin. The thread should reel
over the top, in a counterclockwise direction, as shown in the
picture. Slide on a spool cap and then move the spool pin back A
to the horizontal position.
Each machine comes with two spool caps on the spool pin.
For medium sized thread spools, the medium sized cap (A) is
placed in front of the spool. For large thread spools, the large
cap (B) is placed in front of the spool.
The flat side of the spool cap should be pressed firmly against
the spool. There should be no space between spool cap and
thread spool. B
A small spool cap is included as an accessory for your machine.
The small spool cap can be used for small thread spools.
Note: Not all thread spools are manufactured in the same
way. If you experience problems with the thread, turn it in the
opposite way or use the vertical position.

Vertical Position
Lift the spool pin up and all the way to the right. Lock the
spool pin in the vertical position by slightly pressing it down.
Slide on the large spool cap. For spools smaller than the
medium size spool cap or when using specialty threads, place
a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad is not needed.
Note: No spool cap should be placed on top of the spool as this
prevents the spool from rotating.
Note: When the spool pin is used in the vertical position, the
thread tension might need to be adjusted manually.

Auxiliary Spool Pin

The auxiliary spool pin is used when winding a bobbin from a
second spool of thread.
Lift the auxiliary spool pin up and to the right. Slide on a spool
cap. For spools smaller than the medium size spool cap, place
a felt pad under the thread spool to prevent the thread from
reeling off too fast. For larger spools, the felt pad should not be
used.

Selective Thread Cutter auto for embroidery
The Selective Thread Cutter auto in the Embroidery Settings is
activated by default. The threads are cut automatically and the
presser foot raises at color changes or when an embroidery is
finished. When deselected, no Selective Thread Cutter auto will
be performed.

Automatic Jump Stitch Trim

This machine features Automatic Jump Stitch Trim. This
function saves you time trimming after the embroidery is
completed. The upper thread will be cut and pulled to the
underside of the fabric when starting to embroider after a color
change, at the first color block, after stepping stitches and when
the machine continues to embroider after a jump stitch.
Thread cuts will be automatically performed in e.g. the
following situations:
• Upper thread is cut automatically and the presser foot raises
at color changes.
• Bobbin thread and upper thread are cut and the presser foot
raises when an embroidery is finished.
• Upper thread is cut automatically at the start of a jump
stitch.
• Cut commands in designs.
Note: Hold the thread tail when you start embroidering or at a
new color block so that you can easily remove the thread end
when cut.
Note: If the front and back of your embroidery will be visible,
turn off the automatic jump stitch trim and cut the threads
manually.
Note: If your designs are very close together, e.g. lettering or
programmed stitches, turn off the automatic jump stitch trim
and cut the thread manually.

Hoop Selection
Touch the Hoop Selection icon and select the hoops you own.
When you first load a design, the machine will select the most
suitable hoop among the ones you have entered in the Hoop
Selection.
Note: In the hoop list you will find that some hoop sizes are
followed by a letter. These are specialty hoops. For example, E
stands for endless hoop and M for metal hoop.

Presser Foot Height

You can adjust the height of the presser foot in Embroidery
Stitch-Out mode when using your SINGER® Snap On
Embroidery Foot R.
Some embroideries may build up under the presser foot. If
there is not enough space between the presser foot and the
embroidery, the top thread will form loops on the underside of
the embroidery. Increase the presser foot height in small steps
until the embroidery moves freely under the presser foot.

Bobbin Thread Low - move to bobbin position?

When the bobbin thread is running low, a pop-up message

run out. Press the Start/Stop button to continue embroidering
without closing the Bobbin thread low pop-up.
Touch Cancel to remain at the current stitch position. Touch
OK to move the hoop to bobbin position. The hoop position
pop-up opens. Replace the empty bobbin with a full one. Touch
