The accessories are illustrated on page 41. Electrical connection Use this machine only on a flat surface or on a special sewing table. Connecting the foot control: Insert the plug of the control in the machine socket. Then connect the mains plug to a power source.
Switching the machine ON and OFF Power and sewing light are switched on and off simultaneously with the master switch. Switching on: Press switch. Machine and sewing light are switched on. Switching off: Press switch again. Machine and sewing light are switched off.
Installing the thread spool stand Loosen clamp screw a little and pull washer up to the screw head. Insert thread spool stand from the top. Tighten clamp screw. Insert the five thread spool holders. Push the thread guiding part into the guide bar. Pull up guide bar and align it so that the thread guides are exactly above the spool holders. Carrying handle and thread guides behind it: Insert fingers into groove of the carrying handle and pull it up, then the thread guides 34 will be visible.
• Opening and closing looper cover and work support Push looper cover to the right and swing it down. To close the looper cover, push it up until it locks. To open the work support, push it to the left. To close the work support, push it to the right until it locks. Selecting the stitch type: Behind the looper cover, the individual stitch types from 1 to 6 are shown. The respectively necessary needle combinations (A, B. and C) and the thread tensions to be used are indicated by colors.
Threading procedure Threading must be done correctly to obtain a well-formed seam. Thread the machine in the following sequence: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Right looper (green) Left looper (yellow) Chainstitch looper (mauve) Needle thread tension (blue) Needle thread tension (pink) Diagram B shows threading of the thread guides behind the carrying handle. Diagram C shows threading of the thread tensions. B Now pull the respective thread into the corresponding guides and tension discs.
Threading the nght looper: Thread the right looper in sequence 1 to 9 and pull approximately 10 cm (4”) of thread through the looper eye (the thread path is marked green). Important: In order to obtain perfect sewing results, the thread must be pulled between the tension discs when threading the tensions.

Threading the needles The needles must be threaded in sequence blue pink. — Threading the two-thread chainstitch needle (A): Thread the two-thread chainstitch needle in sequence 1 to 7. The thread path is marked blue (triangular symbol). Important: At point 6, pull the thread into the guide wire eye from the right, then pull about 5 cm (2”) of thread through the needle eye. Threading needle B or C (with or without needle A). Thread the overedge needle in sequence 1 to 6.
Now close the work support (1), push the handle down (2) and close the looper cover (3). Inserting the lint box: Insert the tabs of the lint box into the slots (4) of the front cover. Seam depth scale Example: If the seam depth of the cutting is to be 20 mm, the cut fabric edge must be guided along the 2Omm mark on knife guard 10. Push the lint box up against the front cover until it snaps in place. Use the reverse order to remove lint box.

The thread tension to be set depends on the fabric type and thread size threads (see pages the of interlocking of the Make the correct adjustment after examination 18 to 22). symbol. Set the N on the thread tension dials opposite the respective color settings: standard two are there Only for the blue thread tension opposite the blue When using needle A (only for two-thread chainstitch), the N must be set triangular symbol.
Sewing test After threading, a sewing test test should be made. Raise sewing foot lever 20. as shown in the illustration. Insert test fabric up to the upper knife and lower the sewing foot. Hold thread ends with your left hand while turning hand wheel with your right hand in the direction ndicated by the arrow. In doing so. the threads must be guided to the rear, under the presser foot Make sure that threads have inter locked correctly.

Securing the seam: Knot the thread chain. For knit fabrics, a crochet needle can be used to pull the thread chain into the seam. Or: Sew about 5 cm (2) beyond the end of seam. Then turn the workpiece around and sew a few stitches over the seam just sewn without cutting the thread chain. On this machine, all kinds of fabric from extremely thin to extremely thick can be processed.

Adjusting the differential feed The differential feed prevents inter-ply shift. It consists of two feed dogs, arranged one behind the other, which both pick up and move the workpiece at the same time The feed amount of either feed dog can be set separately. It is possible to have the workpiece moved more by the front feed dog than by the rear one and vice versa. Owing to that very good sewing results are accomplished.
is table indicates possible settings of the differential feed. In order to make sure about the setting iuired for the fabric you wish to process. a sewing test has to be made. e differential feed can also be set during sewing.

Then open the work support a little and remove the workpiece guide plate (see illustration on the left).
Adjusting the seam width The standard seam width setting is marked with N (3.5 mm). Disengage the upper knife according to the description on page 29. The desired seam width is set with adjusting knob 35. The scale on the seamwidth adjustment knob ranges from 2.5 to 5. Set the upper knife at its basic position again and close the looper cover. Sew a test seam. Note: After adjusting the seam width, it may be necessary to re-adjust the thread tension.
Changing the sewing foot Disengage the sewing foot. Push in lever F at the sewing foot holder as shown in the illustration. The sewing foot disengages. ‘I Engage the sewing foot. Place the sewing foot under the sewing foot holder so that when you lower the sewing foot lifting lever, crosspiece G engages in groove H of the sewing foot holder. Raise the sewing foot lifting lever.

Changing the needles Pull out the mains plug. Turn the hand wheel in the direction of the arrow until the needle bar is in its highest position. Hold the needle to be changed with the tweezers. Loosen the set screw of the needle with the screw driver. Remove the needle from the needle holder by pulling it downwards. Inserting the needle Set the needle bar at its highest position. Using the tweezers, push the needle up into the needle holder as far as it will go.
Loosen the knife clamp screw and pull the lower knife down. 1 Inserting tower knife: Insert a new knife into the groove of the lower knife holder with the cutting edge facing right. Set the knife so that the cutting edge aligns with the surface of the needle plate. - After accurate adjustment of the lower knife, firmly tighten the clamp screw. Push the upper knife fully to the right. In this position, turn the knife holder back to operative position.
Changing the upper knife: Pull out the mains plug. For disengageing the upper knife, see page 29, L Unscrew the knife retaining screw and remove upper knife, To replace the upper knife, insert the retaining screw through cutout (1) of the knife. Screw it into threaded hole (2) of the knife holder. Tighten slightly and set the upper knife in the cutting position. Turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise until the upper knife is in its lowest position. The front edge of the upper knife should be 0.5 to 1.
Changing the light bulb: Pull out the mains plug. Loosen the housing cover retaining screw. Open the housing cover. Behind it, the light bulb of the sewing light is situated. -3 Removing the light bulb: Push the light bulb upwards and turn it in direction 1. Inserting the light bulb: Insert the new bulb (15 Watt max.) with pins into slots 3, push it up and turn in direction 2. Close and fasten housing cover. Cleaning thread tensions: Fold the tension cover down.
Oiling the machine: Every time before you take the machine into operation, you should apply a little oil to the places indicated. The bushings and other important moving parts are made of special material and need to be oiled only once or twice a month. One to two drops of high-quality sewing machine oil are sufficient for oiling.
