CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE

Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from power source and the main switch is on "O" when the machine is not in use and before inserting or removing parts.

OFF

Connecting the machine

Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the machine is conforming with your electrical power.

Place machine on a stable surface.

1. Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the power cord socket.

2. Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. The sewing lamp will light up when the switch is turned on.

To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.

Polarized plug information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

WINDING THE BOBBIN

Bobbin winding

Place the thread and spool holder onto the spool pin.

For larger spools of thread, place the large side of the spool holder toward the spool. For smaller spools of thread, place the small side of the spool holder toward the spool, or use the small spool holder. If the thread spool has a thread retaining slit, place this end of the spool toward the right, so the thread doesn't get caught while winding the bobbin.

Snap the thread into the thread guide.

Wind the thread counter-clockwise around the bobbin

winder tension disks.

Place the thread end through one of the inner holes in

the bobbin as illustrated and place empty bobbin on the spindle.

Push the bobbin to right.

WINDING THE BOBBIN

When the bobbin winder spindle is pushed to the right,

which is the "bobbin winding position", the symbol " " appears on the LCD screen.

The symbol will disappear from the LCD screen when the bobbin winder spindle is pushed to the left, which is the "sewing position".

Hold the thread tail securely in one hand.

Press the Start/stop button or the foot control.

After the bobbin has wound a few turns stop the machine

and cut the thread near the hole of the bobbin. Continue winding the bobbin until it is full. The motor stops automatically when the bobbin is full. Stop the machine. Push the bobbin winder spindle to left.

Cut the thread and then remove the bobbin.

Please Note: When the bobbin winder switch is placed on the right, "bobbin winding position", the machine will not sew and the handwheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder switch to the left "sewing position".

INSERTING THE BOBBIN

Attention: Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing the bobbin.

When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle and presser foot must be fully raised.

1 Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with

the thread running in a counterclockwise direction (arrow).

2 Pull the thread through the slit (A).

With a finger held gently on top of the

bobbin.

Draw

the thread at the arrow markings into

the stitch plate thread guide from (A) to (B)

4 Pull the thread at the arrow markings into

the stitch plate thread guide from (B) to (C).

To cut off excess thread pull thread back over the cutting off blade at point (C). Close the bobbin cover plate.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

Please Note: It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.

Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and

also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.

1 Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool

pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin.

2 Draw the thread from the spool through the upper

thread guide.

THREADING THE UPPER THREAD

3 Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the

thread through the pre-tension spring as illustrated.

4. Thread the tension module by passing the thread betwee n the silver discs.

5. Then, down and around the check spring holder.

6. At the top of this movement, pass the thread from right to

the left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.

7. Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide.

Guide the thread through the thread guide located above the needle.

Pull the end of the thread through the needle from front to

rear, and pull out about 10 cm of thread.

Use the needle threader to thread the needle. (On the next page.)

USING THE NEEDLE THREADER

Attention: Turn power switch to the off position ("O").

Raise the needle to its highest position and lower the presser foot.

1 Lower the needle threader lever slowly and

draw the thread through the thread guide as illustrated and then to the right.

2 The needle threader automatically turns to the

threading position and the hook pin passes through the needle eye.

3 Take the thread in front of the needle.

4 Hold the thread loosely and release the lever

slowly. The hook will turn and pass the thread through the needle eye forming a loop.

Pull the thread through the needle eye.

DRAWING UP THE LOWER THREAD

1 Hold the upper thread with the left hand.

Turn the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising the needle.

2 Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the

bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. The bobbin thread will come up in a loop.

CUTTING THE THREAD

3 Pull both threads to the back under the

presser foot.

Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the left side of the face cover and cut using the thread cutter.

The threads are cut at the proper length to start the next seam.

TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LIFTER

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.

When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.

ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no particular readjustment according to the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).

However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.

For sewing very heavy fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

STARTING SEWING

Start/stop button

Foot control

The Start/Stop button can be used to run the machine when the foot controller is unplugged from the machine. Press the button to start sewing, then press it again to stop sewing. The machine will run slowly at the start of sewing.

The speed limiting adjustment lever can control the sewing speed. To increase the sewing speed, slide the lever to the right, To decrease the sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.

With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.

Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly depress the foot control to start sewing.

Release the foot control to stop the sewing machine.

Please Note: The setting of the speed limiting adjustment lever will limit the maximum speed of the machine.

Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to the power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.

THREAD TENSION

- Basic thread tension setting is "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To decrease the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

- Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing. There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics. However, 90% of all sewing will be between the "3" and "5" ("4" is the basic setting).

- For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.
