Turbo bobbin winder switch difficult to activate

[lakekids]

My bobbin winder is very difficult to activate. I have to push so hard on the switch that I sometimes move the winder and frequently lose hold of the thread tail. Any suggestions?

I don’t have mine anymore to take a picture but this is how I worked it.   I used to put my right index finger on the left side of the switch assembly and my right thumb on the right side  and rotate my wrist counter clockwise.  Basically rotate the switch like a doorknob.  Hope this helps.

I have mine plugged into a power strip.  I push the switch on the bobbin winder into the on position, hang onto the thread and then turn the power strip on.  It works like a charm.  I struggled with using the winder before I thought of the power strip.
