Operation

Inserting the Needle

WARNING: Risk of Injury!

Before inserting or replacing the needle, unplug the power supply unit from the sewing machine. Change the needle regularly, especially if it is bent or the tip is damaged. A bent needle causes skipped stitches. Defective needle tips damage the fabric.

Insert the needle as follows:

  1. The needle guide must be completely raised. Turn the handwheel (6) in the direction of the arrow.
  2. Loosen the needle clamp screw (21) and remove the old needle.
  3. Insert the new needle as far as it will go. The flat side of the needle must face backwards.
  4. Tighten the needle clamp screw again.

Attaching and Removing the Presser Foot
There are different types of presser feet. You can buy them in shops. Make sure you get the right size. Not all presser feet fit every sewing machine. To change or remove the presser foot, refer to the following description with the illustrations 1 – 3.

Illustration 1:
Pull the presser foot lever (17) up. Loosen the presser foot fixing screw (a). Place the presser foot holder (b) on the presser foot bar (c) and tighten the screw (a).

Illustration 2:
Place the presser foot (d) on the needle plate. Lower the presser foot lever (17) until the notch (e) is exactly over the presser foot pin (f). Press the lever (g) until the pin (f) engages in the notch (e).

Illustration 3:
To remove the presser foot (20), press lever (g). The presser foot falls off.

Threading the Upper-thread
For threading the upper-thread, refer to the illustrations below. Also refer to the illustrated instructions on the appliance. When threading, make sure that the presser foot (20) is raised and the thread lever (1) is in the uppermost position!

  1. place the thread spool on the thread spool holder (15).
  2. Pull the thread through the thread guide (16).
  3. Guide the thread down past the adjusting wheel (2).
  4. When you reach the bottom, guide it up the left side to the thread lever (1).
  5. Guide the thread through the hole on the thread lever (1). Make sure that the thread is inserted from right to left.
  6. Continue to guide the thread down and pass it through the hole on the needle clamp.
    7. Finally, pull the thread through the needle hole. Let the thread run to the back under the presser foot (20). Make sure you pull the thread about 10 cm behind the presser foot.

Adjusting the Upper-thread Tension
The setting is made by turning the adjusting wheel (2). The basic setting is between 4 and 5. Depending on the fabric and yarn thickness, turn the adjusting wheel so that the knotting of the upper and lower threads is visible as a dot on the top of the fabric. If loops form, the thread tension is too loose.

Winding the Under-thread Bobbin

CAUTION:
Remove the upper thread completely from the sewing machine. Otherwise it will wrap around internal components and the sewing machine will block.

  1. Place a thread spool on the thread spool holder (15).
  2. Put an empty under-thread bobbin (27) on the bobbin winder (14).
  3. Guide the thread through the thread guide (16) to the empty bobbin.
  4. Wind the thread clockwise a few times around the empty bobbin.
  5. Push the bobbin against the bobbin winder stop (13) (see illustration).
  6. Start winding with the foot pedal (25) or use the switch (8).
  7. When the winder is full, the winding stops automatically. If you want to stop winding prematurely, release the foot pedal.
  8. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin.

Inserting the Under-thread Bobbin

  1. The needle must be fully raised when inserting or removing the under-thread bobbin (27). Turn the handwheel (6) in the direction of the arrow.
  2. Pull the bobbin cover (10) off to the front.
  3. Place the bobbin in the hook so that it turns anticlockwise (see illustration). Let the thread hang out of the bobbin by about 10 cm.
  4. Push the bobbin cover back in.

Bringing up the Under-thread

  1. Raise the presser foot (20).
  2. Hold the upper-thread with your left hand.
  3. At the same time, with your right hand, turn the handwheel (6) in the direction of the arrow until the needle is raised (one complete turn of the handwheel).
  4. Pull the lower and upper-threads 10 cm back under the presser foot. You can use a scissor or the thread cutter (12) for this.

Select Stitch Pattern
There are 12 stitch pattern types to choose from. Select a stitch pattern using the table below. When turning the stitch pattern adjusting wheel (3), the needle must always be in the uppermost position.

Stitch Pattern Explanation

  4. Start sewing. Slowly press the foot pedal (25) or select one of the two speed levels with the switch (8). Guide the fabric with your hand.
    • MPORTANT! Do not pull or push the fabric while sewing. This can cause damage to the needle!
  5. To sew a bartack at the end of the seam or in the seam, press down the button to sew backwards (7). When the button is released, the sewing machine sews forward again.
  6. At the end of the seam, the needle must be in the upper position to allow the thread to be pulled out easily.
  7. Lift the presser foot to remove the fabric.
  8. To cut the threads, you can pass them over the thread cutter (12). Or use a pair of scissors.
