Information
The hook thread is normally wound on when sewing is in progress. However, you can also wind on the hook thread without sewing, e. g. if you require a full bobbin in order to start sewing. For this purpose, use the winder mode in the softkey menu (p. 52).
11. Switch on the machine.
12. Press the pedal forwards. The machine sews and winds the hook thread from the
thread reel onto the bobbin. When the bobbin is filled, the winding process stops. The bobbin lever moves down. The cutter is automatically moved into its basic vertical position.
13. Pull off the full bobbin.
14. Tear off the thread behind the cutter (9).

6. Feed the hook thread through the slot (4) under the tension
spring (5) into the hole (1).
7. Pull the hook thread approx. 5 cm out of the bobbin case upper
section (2).
The bobbin must rotate in the direction of the arrow when
pulling out the thread.
8. Insert the bobbin case upper section (2) again.
9. Close the hook cover (6).

4.8 Thread tension

Together with the hook thread tension, the needle thread tension influences the final seam pattern. With thin sewing material, excessive thread tension can lead to undesired gathering and thread breakage.
Proper setting
If the tension of needle thread and hook thread is identical, the thread interlacing lies in the middle of the sewing material. Set the needle thread tension so that the desired seam pattern is achieved with the lowest possible te nsi o n.

WARNING Risk of injury from needle tip and moving parts!
Puncture, cutting and crushing possible. Switch off the machine before setting the hook
thread tension.
Fig. 14: Setting the hook thread tension (1)
Proper setting
The hook thread tension must be set so that the resulting seam pattern is uniform.
The basic setting for the tension spring is performed as follows:
• When the bobbin case contains a full bobbin it must sink slowly under its own weight.

Button Function
Sewing backwards
When this button is activated, the machine sews in reverse.
Needle position
When this button is activated, the needle moves to a specific position. This position is determined individually via the parameter settings. For more information, refer to the Service Instructions. The machine comes configured so that selecting the button will bring the needle up to the top dead center.
Start bartack/end bartack
This button cancels the general setting for sewing start and end bartacks. If bartacks are on, pressing the button skips the next bartack. If bartacks are off, pressing the button sews the next bartack.
Stitch length
When this button is selected, the machine sews with the greater stitch length that was programmed for this stitch length on the control panel.
Operation
Auxiliary thread tension
When this button is selected, the machine sews with the programmed auxiliary thread tension.

4.13.2 Assigning a function to the favorite button

You can assign one of the button functions to the favorite button. Select a function that you frequently use so that you can switch it on faster while sewing.
Fig. 21: Assigning a function to the favorite button
+/–
(1) - Favorite button (2) - Screws
(3) - Initial position (4) - Screw vertical
The button function is assigned by turning the screw (2) under the button until it is vertical. Only one function at a time can be assigned to the favorite button (1). Therefore, only one of the screws (2) may be in the vertical position (4).
All screws must be turned back to their horizontal initial position (3) before a new function is assigned.
To assign a function to the favorite button:
1. Turn all screws to their initial position (3) so that the slots of the screws are horizontal.
2. Turn the screw (2) under the desired button 90° so that the slot is vertical (4).

5.3 Software operating modes

The software of the 669 PREMIUM has 3 available operating modes:
Manual mode (program 000) (p. 50) Manual mode is the simplest operating mode. There are no
programs/seam programs and no inputs for individual seam sections.
Changes to the sewing foot pressure, stroke height, stitch length, needle thread tension and, also, the activation of other functions are always implemented immediately.
All the major sewing parameters can be changed manually during the sewing process.
48 Operating Instructions 669 PREMIUM - 00.0 - 11/2016
Programming
Automatic mode (program 001 – 999) (p. 77) Automatic mode allows for the execution of setups (seam
program comprised of only one seam section) or complex seam programs (comprising 2 or more seam sections).
Seam programs are divided into individual seam sections. Each section is assigned its own individual stitch length, needle thread tension, etc.
Programming/Edit mode (p. 81) Programming mode allows the operator to create a new
seam program in a quick and easy manner. Edit mode can be used to adjust, delete and copy seam
programs.
The individual modes and their uses are explained in detail later on.

Setting: Waiting time at turning point (t Change)
The waiting time at the turning points (for example for a change of sewing direction) is set at this point. A short waiting time in milliseconds should ensure consistent seam quality (ornamental­stitch bartack).
Setting: Default stitch length (St.Len.Def.)
If this function is active, the same stitch length is used for the bartack as the one set in Manual mode. If this function is deacti­vated, a custom input can be entered.

To ensure a safe sewing start and complete sewing of the start bartack, an additional bartack can precede the start bartack.

Normally, a bartack starts either with the sewing direction (forwards – even number of sections) or against the sewing direction (back­wards – odd number of sections), depending on the number of sections.
Setting this parameter inverts the sewing direction of the bartack.

5.4.12 Setting the Correction of effects of high speed parameter (Speed Corr.)

Some parameters are affected by high speeds because of the resulting physical effects. To counteract these effects and to achieve consistent results, even at high speeds, adjustment factors can be set depending on the speed.
Settings that are more complex and therefore require further explanation are described in more detail after the table.

6.2 Lubricating

CAUTION Risk of injury from contact with oil!
Oil can cause a rash if it comes into contact with skin.
Avoid skin contact with oil. If oil has come into contact with your skin, wash the affected areas thoroughly.
NOTICE
Property damage from incorrect oil!
Incorrect oil types can result in damage to the machine. Only use oil that complies with the data in the instructions.
CAUTION Risk of environmental damage from oil!
Oil is a pollutant and must not enter the sewage system or the soil.
Carefully collect up used oil. Dispose of used oil and oily machine parts in accordance with national regulations.
The machine is equipped with a central oil-wick lubrication system. The bearings are supplied from the oil reservoir.
For topping off the oil reservoir, use only lubricating oil DA 10 or oil of equivalent quality with the following specifications:
