CONNECTING PLUGS
1.
First connect the three-prong plug into
the machine.
2.
Then connect the electric supply plug
into a wall outlet.
Caution
When changing needle, bobbin or
light bulb, or when sewing machine is
not in use,
it
is recommended that
electrical supply plug is disconnected
to avoid electrical hazards.
Remark:
The illustration on this page depict-
ing the use of two pin plug is not
applicable to use in
U.K.
CONTROLLING SEWING SPEED
Place foot on foot control as shown in
illustration.
When foot control is pushed down lightly,
machine will run at a low speed.
When pressure on foot control is increased,
machine will pick up speed.
When foot control is released, machine will
stop.
NOTE:
1.
Care should be taken that nothing is placed on foot controller when machine is not in use.
2.
A
ney sewing machine or one that has not been in use for a long period of time should
be oiled as per

I
Extra spool pln
II
Your sewing machine is specially constructed
for optional twin needle sewing by setting
extra spool pin into hole on the top of
machine. You can use either one or two
colors of upper thread.
Make sure that two threads used to thread
twin needle are of the same weight.
If thread is not of the same weight, stitching
will be faulty.
INSERTING TWlN NEEDLE
Insert in same manner as single needle.
Flat side of needle should face toward
back and long groove should face you.
THREADING TWlN NEEDLE
Follow instructions for single needle thread-
ing (see page
12), but thread each needle
separately.
NOTE FOR TWlN NEEDLE SEWING
1.
Use ZIGZAG PRESSER FOOT.
2.

Thread Tension
I
It
is
important that tension of upper and lower threads be equal to prevent puckering of
material or other problems.
It is recommended that a test sample be made before starting to sew.
UPPER THREAD TENSION
To regulate upper thread tension, merely
turn thread tension dial with your fingers
after lowering the presser foot.
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE
TIGHTER THE TENSION.
To increase tension: Turn dial to right to
higher number.
To decrease tension: Turn dial to left to
lower number.
NOTE: When sewing the zigzag stitch,
it
requires less upper tension than
straight stitch.
#I
LOWER THREAD TENSION
Tension
Lower thread
tenion has been already
adjusted for general use at the factory
before shipment, but when sewing extremely thin or heavy material,
it
also requires
adjusting the lower thread tension.
To regulate the lower thread tension, turn
small screw on the tension spring of the
bobbin case with the small screw driver.
To increase tension: Turn the small screw
clockwise very slightly.
To decrease tension: Turn the screw coun-
terclockwise very
slightly.
PERFECT STITCHING
r
INCORRECT STITCH
(A)
INCORRECT STITCH
(B)
r
Tension of upper and lower threads should
be equal, just sufficiently strong to lock
both threads in material.
Perfect stitching appears flat with no
puckering of
rnater~al.
The upper thread lies on the surface of
the material by pulling the lower thread
up as shown.
This is caused by tight tension on the upper
thread or loose tension on the lower thread.
To correct this, turn the upper thread
tension dial to a lower number.
When perfect stitch cannot be obtained by
only upper thread
tenslon dial, adjust the
bobbin tension accordingly.
The lower thread
l~es on the under surface
of the
mater~al by pull~ng upper thread
down as shown.

This is caused by loose tension on the upper

sewing is used where reinforcement is
needed.
6.
Release reverse sewlng button and start
sewing in forward direction.
NOTE:
Use straight stitch foot when
sewing light or elastic type materials
with straight stitch.
HOW TO CHANGE SEWING DIRECTION
1.
Stop machine at the turning point while
the needle is in the material.
2.
Raise the presser foot and turn the
material to the new direction while
the needle acts as the axis.
3.
Lower the presser foot and start sewing
in new direction.
NOTE:
In case of twin needle sewing,
raise the needle at the
turnlng
point.

HOW TO REMOVE FINAL SEWING FROM
MACHINE
1. Stop the machine.
2.
Ra~se needle to its hlghest position and make sure
that the thread take-up lever is also at its highest
position.
3.
Llft presser foot and pull out the matertal gently
to the left
slde diagonally.
4.
Cut both threads on the thread cutter.
5.
Leave about 4 Inches (10 cm) of threads between
toes of the presser foot to the rear while the
thread take-up lever is at the
h~ghest posltlon,
and you are ready to sew again without any
chance of thread pulling out of the needle.
HOW TO SEW VERY
THIN MATERIAL
An underlay of
th~n paper will help to
eliminate
sk~pped stitches and puckering on very thln mater~al.
HOW TO GUIDE YOUR MATERIAL
Do not pull the material. Let the
mach~ne do the
work. Merely guide the material with your
flngers In
front of the presser foot as shown in the illustration.
If you pull the
materlal, your needle m~ght either bend
or break.
However, in the case of
speclal materials, such as
tricot, crepes, knits, etc., we recommend that you
support the material both

Zigzag Stitching
SIMPLE ZIGZAG STITCH
Set stitch length between 1-4 for simple
zigzag stitch.
1.
With stitch length to between 0-1 sew
5-6
straight
stitches for reinforcement.
2.
Set stitch width to your desired width
and begin sewing.
3.
Reset stitch width to "0" and set stitch
length to between 0-1 to again reinforce
stitches before removing work from
machine.
'
NOTE: Zigzag stitching requires less upper
thread tension than straight
stitch-
Ing.
SATIN STITCH
When stitch length is set between 0-1, it
produces the "SATIN STITCH'' which is
used for making fine buttonholes or decorative stitches.
NOTE:
It
is recommended that a
test
sample
be made before starting to
sew.

OIL 3 to 4 DROPS TO THE POINTS MARKED
bbb*
OIL ONCE A WEEK IF MACHINE IS USED MORE THAN ONE HOUR
PER DAY.
IF MACHINE IS USED MORE OFTEN OIL EVERY DAY.
After the
mach~ne has been o~led, remove thread and w~th presser foot up, run machlne fast.
Then wlpe up any excess 011
Occasionally,
remove the top cover by
loosening
two screws on 11 and apply mach~ne 011 to
