DieselTech Report post Posted March 30 Guys & gals I'm assembling my cobra class 4. Where does this screw in thread guide go? It was in with a bag of parts. I cant seem to find anything about it. Now lmao I havent looked in the manual yet for it. I found 1 spot on top of the sewing machine it threads into, I just dont know if that is where it goes. The other thing is, if it is used what's it used for? & how is thread routed thru it? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomE Report post Posted March 30 That's a thread guide and it goes where you put it, I think. My Class 4 didn't have one and it is not mentioned in the LMC instructions for threading. My Class 26 has this guide and you can route the thread straight through one hole, or make a serpentine pattern through additional holes to add tension to the thread. My Class 4 has been happily running for 3 years without this thread guide. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to run without it then. Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wizcrafts Report post Posted March 30 Install that guide into the top of the head. If you run into a coily/twisty spool of thread, run the thread through the top hole, then wrap it counterclockwise halfway around the post and feed it out of the bottom hole.This will counteract the coiling effect.

Thanks. For the tip. I would have never thought about that. I will go ahead install it, then it wont get lost. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
