How to check the needle

Sewing with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is being operated.
Before using the needle, place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface and check that the distance between the needle and the flat surface is even.

• Correct needle

  
  Flat surface
  The space is parallel.

   

• Incorrect needle

  If the distance between the needle and the flat surface is not even, the needle is bent.
  Do not use a bent needle.
