ah greetings.

First things first I would suggest that you change that picture you have in your signature.
It is about 6 times the size permitted here.
Here this link will explain to you some of the rules for Boards.ie.

All sewing machinces are the same in principle.
You put the spool of thread ( after making sure the thread is suitible for a sewing machine some aren't) on the spindle and take the trhead from the back of the spool.
The thread usually goes arround a guide which is a metal circle and then
down to the tension guide and then up into the action arm.
The action arm is the bit that goes up and down with the thread, these used to have a hole at the top but more modren models have a way of sliding the thread into the top of it.
Then the thread runs down to the needle and into 1 or 2 guides and then the needle is threaded.
