Removing the bobbin case Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle is as high as it will go. Open the bedpiate cover. Lift bobbin case latch A (Fig. 1) and pull the bob bin case out. When you let go of the latch again, the bobbin will drop out. Disengaging the sewing mechanism Fig. 2 Hold the balance wheel steady with your left hand and, with your right hand, turn the knob in the middle of the balance wheel towards you as shown in Fig. 2. Thus, the sewing mechanism is dis engaged.
Winding the bobbin Select thread from table on page 28. Disengage sewing mechanism, and place spool of thread onto pin 1 (Fig. 3). Put bobbin onto spindle A (Fig. 4) and press against stop B. Pull thread through thread guide and under tension disc 2, as indicated by an arrow. Wind a few turns of thread on bobbin 3(Fig,3), as indicated by an arrow. Run machine. When bobbin is full, bobbin winder will switch itself off. Remove the bobbin.
Threading the bobbin case Pull about four inches of thread from the bobbin. Take the bobbin case in your left hand and insert the bobbin as shown in Fig. 5. Fig.? 7”’ Then pull the thread toward the left un der the spring on the bobbin case so that it comes out of the opening as shown in Fig. 7.
B Inserting the bobbin case Bring needle to its highest point. Lift latch 0 (Fig. 8) so that bobbin will not fall Out. Push bobbin case onto pin A, taking care that finger C enters slot B. Press bobbin case in as far as it will go, then let go of latch 0 again. Press lightly against bobbin case to make sure it has snapped into place properly. A c FIg. 8 Changing the needle / Turn balance wheel towards you until needle bar A (Fig. 9) is as high as it will go. Undo screw B and take out needle.
Threading Fig. 10 Turn the balance wheel until tape-up lever 7 (Fig. 10> is at its highest point. Put a spool of thread onto one of the spool pins. Pull the thread through guides 1 and 2, clockwise around and between tension discs 4, and through the thread check spring. Now pull the thread upwards behind guide 6, and from right to left through the hole in lever 7, then down through guides 8, 9 and 10. Thread the needle from front to back and pull about four inches of thread through its eye.
Drawing up the bobbin thread Fig. ii Hold the end of the needle thread in your left hand. Turn the balance wheel towards you until the needle moves down and up again and the take-up lever has reached its highest point. Now pull the needle thread and the bobbin thread will come up through the needle hole (Fig. Ii). Pull both thread ends (about four inches long) towards the back, placing them under sewing foot.
Setting the thread tensions wrong Upper tension too loose or lower tension too tight. Upper tension too tight or lower tension too loose. II wrong Tensions evenly balanced. nght Fig.
Fig. 13 Fig. 14 Needle thread tension Bobbin thread tension The normal setting is between numbers 2 and 4 on the knob. Turn the knob clockwise for stronger tension, and anti-clockwise for weaker tension. To set the bobbin thread tension, turn the screw with a small screwdriver as shown above.
—T Setting the stitch length and sewing backwards Fig. is The stitch length is set by turning disc R. There are numbers printed on it to show the exact stitch length setting. At setbng 0 the material does not move forward at all. The longest stitch you can set on the machine is 4 mm (abt. 532”). Simply turn disc R until the stitch length you want is opposite the dot to the left of the disc. To sew backwards, press button T down far as it will go. When you release it, the machine will sew forwards again.
Changing the needle position M By needle position we mean the lateral position of the needle in the needle hole for straight sewing, and the point from which the needle starts when mak ing a zigzag stitch. To change this position. turn the needle position dial ‘, 4 ‘\ . Fig. 16 L left, M middle, R right Setting the stitch width for zigzag sewing Fig. 17 Set the stitch width control C (Fig. 17), to the width you require. The numbers 0 to 5 show the stitch width in milli metres.
Changing the sewing foot Raise the presser bar iifter, Bring the needle up to its highest point. Loosen the screw holding the sewing foot, and remove the latter. Attach the new sew ing foot, then fully tighten its screw Fig. 18 again.
Dropping the machine feed The machine feed has three positions which are set by turning the drop feed control shown in Fig 19. (feed completely dropped) for em 0 broidering, darning and button sew ing. (feed partly raised) for sewing deli 1 cate fabrics. (feed fully raised) for sewing nor 2 mal and heavy materials.
Sewing Make sure the disengaging knob on the balance wheel is tight. Straight-stitch sewing When the stitch width control (Fig. 17) the machine will sew is set at 0 straight stitches. Fig. 20 . Sewing on buttons Zigzag sewing ‘Nhen you set stitch width control C to any number between 0 and 5, the ma chine will sew zigzag stitches of the desired width Bring the needle up to its highest point. Exchange the sewing toot with the but ton sewing foot shown in Fig. 20.
.-. p Fig. 21 Place a button on the material and un der the sewing foot. making sure that the left hole of the button is exactly un der the needle as shown in Fig. 22. Lower the tresser bar lifter, then set the stitch width (normally at 4) so that the needle enters the right hole of the but ton when you turn the balance wheel. Slowly sew about 10 stitches, then set the stitch width to “0’ and sew a num ber of tying stitches. Buttons with four holes are sewn on as shown in Fig. 21. Fig.

Machine care Oiling All bearings of moving parts behind the face cover and under the top cover and the bedplate have to be oiled from time to time. The shuttle race must also be oiled occasionally. To do this, re move the bobbin case. Always use high-grade (resin-free) sew ing machine oil. After oiling, run the machine for a short while sewing on a piece of waste material in order to get rid of excess oil.
Cleaning the shuttle race Raise the needle and take out bobbin case F with bobbin E inside (Fig. 36). e Swing latches 0 outwards and remov shuttle race ring C. Carefully pull shuttle B out of its race (do not drop it). Clean shuttle race G with a soft brush, mak ing sure that no brush hairs are left behind. Put the shuttle and its race ring back into place and lock them there to E Fig. 36 with latches 0.
