PREPARA-
TION
Unpacking
your
TOYOTA
8000
Before
commencing
to
sew,
let's
learn
a little
about
your
machine
by
reading
through
this
instruc-
tion book
carefully.
Start by
placing
your
TOYOTA
8000
on
the
table
and
remove
the
compartment
by
drawing
it
out
in
the
direction
of
the
arrow,
Connecting
Foot
Control
and
Power
Cord
Before
plugging
in
your
TOYO-
TA
8000,
be
sure
that
the
voltage
is
the
same
as
that
of
your
TOYOTA
8000.
The
ma-
chine's
voltage
is
written
on
a
plate
at the
right
end
of
your
TOYOTA
8000.
Take
foot control out
of
the
compartment
and
push
the
foot
control
plug
into
the
electrical
receptacle
at
-
the
right
end of
your
TOYOTA
8000.
Then
connect
the
machine
to
the house
power supply.
Power
and
light
switch
can
be

Inserting the Bobbin
When
the

Slide the
thread
into
the
slot
on
the
edge
of
the
bobbin

The
thread
is

check
that
the
bobbin
rotates
in
the
direc-
tion
of
the
arrow
when
the
thread
is

case.
When
adjusting the

so
that

Threading
the
Upper
Thread
Turn
the
hand
wheel
towards
you
to
raise
the take-up
lever
to
its highest
position
and
place
the
spool
of
thread
on the
left-hand
spool
pin.
Lead
the
thread
through
all
the
threading
points
as
shown
oppo-
site.
Thread
the take-up
lever
from
back
to front,
guiding
the thread
down
over
top
of
lever
and then
up
into
the
eyelet.
I,
II
Thread
the
needle eye
from
front
to
back,
pulling about
1
m
of
the
thread.
Drawing
up
the
Lower
Thread
Hold
the end
of
the
upper
thread
with
your
left
hand.
Turn
the
hand
wheel
towards
you
slowly
until
the
needle
and the
take-up
lever move
down and
up
again,
then
stop
the
hand
wheel.
Pull
the
upper
thread
slowly
so
that
the
lower thread
will be
brought
up
in
a
loop.
You
should
never
pull
the
upper
thread
too hard
as
this
may
bend
the
needle.
Pull
both
ends
of
the
threads out
about
15cm
from
under
the
foot
and
place
them
either
to
the
left
or
right
of
the
presser
foot
as
shown.
The
old fashion
method
used by
most
machine
sewers
for
many
years who
have
been
taught
to
place
the
threads
behind the
presser
foot,
has
been
found
to
be
incorrect,
as
this
has
caused
most
of
the machine
jamming
problems
of
the
past.
REMEMBER
ALWAYS
PLACE
THE
THREADS
EITHER
TO
THE
LEFT
OR
RIGHT
NEVER
BEHIND
THE
FOOT
Thread
Cutter
On
the
back
of
the
presser bar
you
will
find
the
thread
cutter.
This
cutter
makes
it
easy
to
cut
off
the
thread
at
the
end
of
a
seam.
