Preparation and maintenance

Connect the machine to a power source as illustrated in the adjacent drawing.

Illumination
The machine is started and the light switched on by pressing the main switch (20) in position " l ".

Disconnect the machine from the power supply by removing the plug from the mains socket!

1. Loosen screw (A) as illustrated.
2. Remove the cover (B).
3. Unscrew the bulb (C) and fit a new one.
4. Replace the cover and tighten screw.

If you want to sew on the arm bed, pull out the snap-in sewing table (7) in the direction of the arrow.

The inside of the snap-in sewing table (7) can be utilised as an accessory box.

Inside of the snap-in compartment the included accessories will be found.

Important: Turn power switch (20) to off ("O")!

Change the needles regularly, especially at the first signs of problems when sewing.

Insert the needle as in the illustration.
A. Loosen the needle clamp screw and tighten again after inserting the new needle.
B. The flat side of the shaft should be towards the back.
C/D. Insert the needle up to the stop at the end of the shaft.

Only use fully-functional needles.
Problems can occur with the use of:
- Bent needles
- Blunt needles
- Damaged points

When sewing thick fabrics, the passage of fabrics under the presser foot can be improved by raising the two-step presser foot lifter (18) further (arrow).

Important: Turn the main switch (20) to off ("O") when carrying out all the operations!

1. Install the presser foot holder
NRaise the presser bar (A) by lifting the two-step presser foot lifter (18) Attach the presser foot holder (B) as illustrated.

2. Inserting the presser foot
Lower the presser foot bar (B) until the groove (C) is directly above the pin (D). Lower the presser foot bar (A) as far as it will go. The presser foot (a) will engage automatically.

3. Removing the presser foot
Raise the presser foot. Press the lever (E) gently towards the front and the presser foot disengages.

4. Inserting the edge/ quilt guide (q)
As shown in the illustration carefully insert the edge/ quilt guide (q) e.g. For hems, pleats, etc.

Place the spool (n) on the spool pin (15) and hold it in place with a spool pin cap (s).
- Small spool pin cap for thin threads
- Large spool pin cap for thick threads

Pull the thread from the spool into the thread guide, and up to the bobbin (2).

Pull the thread from the inside through a hole of the empty bobbin (h). Place the spool on the spool holder (14) and then push to the right into the filling position.

Hold the end of the thread. Press the pedal (u). Release the pedal (u) after a few turns. Release the thread and cut as close as possible to the spool. Press the pedal (u) again.

Important: Turn power switch (20) to off ("O")!

When inserting or removing the bobbin (h), the needle must be fully raised.

1. Open the hinged cover.

2. Pull the bobbin case tab (A) and remove the bobbin case. Hold the bobbin case with one hand.

3. Insert the bobbin (3) so that the thread runs in a clockwise direction (arrow).

4/5. Pull the thread into the slit and under the tension spring.

6. Hold the bobbin case between the index finger and thumb on the bobbin case tab (A).

7. Insert it into the shuttle race.

Important: Set the main switch (20) to ("O"). Raise the presser foot bar by lifting the two-step presser foot lifter (18) and lift the thread lever (1) by turning the hand wheel (21) anti-clockwise. Follow the arrows and numbers on the sewing machine when threading.

1. Place the spool (n) on the spool pin (15) and hold it in place with a spool pin cap (s).

- Small spool pin cap for thin threads
- Large spool pin cap for thick threads

2. Guide the upper thread through the upper thread guide (16) and bobbin thread guide (2) from right to left, then move it forward into the right slot and guide it downwards.

3. Guide it to the left under the guide lug (A) and then upwards again.

4. Guide the thread from right to left through the thread lever (1) and then downwards.

5. Guide the thread first behind the large, metal thread guide (B) and then through the eye of the needle. Always thread the needle from the front.

Needle threader

You can use the needle threader (g) as a threading aid.
1. Insert the needle threader (g) through the eye of the needle from back to front.
2. Guide the upper thread through the wire loop of the needle threader.
3. Pull the needle threader (g) together with the thread back through the eye of the needle.

Attention: Turn power switch to "O" before threading the needle.

Important: Raise the needle to its highest position by turning the hand wheel toward you until the mark (A) matched with the line (B) on the machine.

Upper thread tension (A)

Basic upper thread tension setting: "AUTO" To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next higher number. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next lower number.
1. Normal thread tension
2. Upper thread tension too loose
3. Upper thread tension too tight

Note: The upper thread tension must be set at 2-3 when sewing the lightweight fabrics, like silk and jersey etc.

Lower thread tension (B)

Note: The bobbin tension is adjusted correctly during manufacturing, therefore no changes are necessary.

To test the bobbin thread tension, the full bobbin is placed in the bobbin case. The bobbin case and gripper are then suspended by the end of the thread. If the tension is correct, the thread will unwind by about 5 to 10 cm. when gently swung and will then remain suspended. If the full bobbin case unwinds, the tension is too slack. If the tension is too tight, it hardly unwinds or does not unwind at all. To adjust, use the small screwdriver (m).

Important: Disconnect the machine from the electricity supply by removing the plug from the mains socket. When cleaning the machine, it must always be disconnected from the electricity supply.

Important: Fabric fluff and threads must be removed regularly!
