Operation

WARNING: Risk of injury!

Pull the foot controller plug out of the machine before inserting the needle.

NOTE:

Replace the needle on a regular basis, in particular if it is bent or the tip is damaged. A bent needle causes skip stitches.

Defect needle tips damage the fabric.

Insert the needle in the following way:

The guide of the needle has to be lifted completely. Turn the hand wheel (4) in the direction of the arrow.

Loosen the needle fastening bolt

(12) and tighten it again after inserting the new needle.

The flat side of the needle has to face the rear side. Insert the needle until the edge guide.

Fastening and removing the presser foot shoe (Fig. H – J)

The machine has a standard presser foot for sewing various kinds of fabrics. For sewing button holes and zippers, you have to mount another presser foot shoe to the presser foot holder.

When changing the presser foot shoe, the needle should be lifted completely. Turn the hand wheel (4) in the direction of the arrow.

For replacing the presser foot shoe, see the following description with the figures H - J.

1. Fig. H: Pull the presser foot lever (19) upwards. Loosen the presser foot fastening bolt (a). Attach the presser foot holder (b) to the presser foot shaft (c) and tighten the bolt (a).

2. Fig. I: Put the presser foot shoe (d) onto the needle plate.

Lower the presser foot lever (19) until the notch (e) is positioned exactly above the pin (f) of the presser foot shoe.

Press lever (g) until the pin (f) locks in the notch (e).

3. Remove presser foot shoe (Fig. J): Lift presser foot lever

(19), press lever (g) and the presser foot shoe drops off.

threading the upper thread (Fig. K)

For quick and easy installation of the upper threads, follow steps 1 to 7, according to the dashed line of figure K below and/ or follow the arrows on the machine.

1. Set the thread reel onto the thread reel holder (20) and guide the thread through the needle thread feed hole (17) from back to front.

2. Push the button for releasing the thread tension (15) to the left, then guide the thread down and make sure that the thread is positioned between the tension discs and release the button (15).

3. Pull the thread upwards on the left side of the thread lever

(16).

4. Insert the thread into the thread lever and guide it down again on the right side of the thread lever.

5. Insert the thread through the thread guide eye from front to back.

6. Insert the thread through the needle thread guide from top to bottom.

7. Finally, insert the thread into the needle from front to back

(important !!!!).

43

Adjusting the upper thread tension (14)

The basic setting is between 4 and 5.

Depending on fabric and thread size, adjust by turning the control (14) so that the knot of the upper and the bobbin thread can be recognized as a spot on the upper side of the fabric. If you see loops the thread tension is too loose.

Inserting the bobbin thread reel (Fig. L)

1. When inserting or removing the bobbin thread reel (33), the needle has to be lifted completely. Turn the hand wheel (4) in the direction of the arrow.

2. Pull off the table top horizontally from the machine. Pull the transparent looper cover out towards the front.

3. Insert the bobbin into the looper, having the reel turning clockwise (see right Fig. on the looper cover). Let

5 cm of the thread stay out.

4. Slide in again the looper cover.

Fetching the bobbin thread

1. Lift the presser foot (10), hold the upper thread with your left hand and turn the hand wheel with the right hand in the direction of the arrow until the needle has arrived at the top again (one complete turn of the hand wheel).

2. Pull the upper and the bobbin thread 10 cm towards the back. You can use scissors for this, for example.

Winding up the bobbin (Fig. M and N)

CAUTION:

Remove the upper thread completely out of the machine.

Otherwise, it would wind around the inner parts and block the machine.

NOTE:

You control the amount of the bobbin thread to be wound up by turning the bobbin winder edge guide (3). To the left: less thread on the reel.

1. Place an empty reel (33) onto the bobbin winder shaft (2).

2. Place a thread reel onto the thread reel holder (20).

3. Guide the thread via the thread guide (18) to the empty reel.

44

4. Clockwise, wind up the thread several times around the empty reel.

5. Push the reel against the bobbin winder edge guide (3).

6. Start the winding by pressing the foot controller.

7. When the reel is filled, the winding stops automatically.

If you want to stop the winding earlier, release the foot controller.

8. Cut the thread and remove the reel.

2. Lift the presser foot lever (19), remove the presser foot shoe by pressing the lever (g) and replace it by the button hole foot (see “Fastening and removing the presser foot shoe (Fig. H – J)”). The red scale of the button hole foot has to be on the left side.

3. Determine the button diameter and add 3 mm (1/8”) for the button hole bar tack. For a very thick button, add more to the diameter.

4. Mark position and length of the button hole on the fabric.

5. Position the fabric in a way that the needle is located at the rear left side of the button hole.

6. Pull the button hole foot towards the front as far as possible.

7. Bring the foot down.

Stitch selection at the stitch selector (1)

16 stitch types can be chosen.

1. The needle has to be lifted completely. Turn the hand wheel (4) in the direction of the arrow.

2. Set the stitch selector to the desired setting. Pay attention that the stitch selector is locking into the desired position.

Sewing

1. Make sure that the bobbin winder shaft (2) is set to

“SEWING”.

2. Lift presser foot and pull upper and bobbin thread towards the back (approx. 10 cm).

3. Place the fabric underneath the presser foot.

4. Lower the presser foot onto the fabric.

5. Slowly activate foot controller to begin sewing. Guide the fabric manually in a successive manner.

6. Press the button for reverse sewing (7) to sew a bar tack at the end of a seam or in the middle of a seam. Releasing the button, the machine sews forward again.

7. At the end of the seam, stop the needle in the upper position to facilitate easy removal of the thread.

8. Lift the presser foot and remove the fabric.

9. Move the threads over the thread cutter in order to cut them (13).

Button hole sewing:

CAUTION:

When turning the stitch selector (1), the needle always has to be in the upper position.

1. Set the stitch selector to program no. 13. Sew the left button hole seam with appropriate speed until the front mark.

2. Set the stitch selector to program no. 14 and sew 5-6 bar tacks.

3. Set the stitch selector to program no. 15 and sew the right button hole seam until the upper mark (beginning of the button hole).

4. Set the stitch selector to program no. 16. Finally, sew again

5-6 bar tacks.

5. Remove the fabric underneath the foot. Pull the upper thread through the back side of the fabric and interlace upper and bobbin thread to prevent unintentional dissolving.

6. Cut the middle of the button hole with the seam cutter (32).

Pay attention that the seam on both sides will not be damaged.
