Disengaging
Mechanism
Power-driven
machines
feature
a
lever
underneath
the
balance
wheel
which
serves
to
swing
the
motor
to
its
operotive
position.
To
do
this,
flick
the
lever
down.
After
you
hove
completed
sewing,
flick
the
lever
to
its
top
position
in
order
to
return
the
motor
to
the
inoperative
position.
With
the
motor
swung

oIl
machines
set
upon

can
be
driven
by
foot
power.
Foot
Control
Place
the
foot
control
under
the
cabinet
within
easy
reach
of
your
foot.
Rest
the
right
foot
on
the
control
pedal
and
press.
The
harder
you
press,
the
faster
the
machine
will
run.
On
some
sewing
cabinets,
the
foot
control
cord
can
be
passed
through
the
opening
in
the
bedplate
extension.
Sewing
Speed
The
Pfaff
rotary
hook
enables
you
to
sew
ot
speeds
of
over
1200
stitches
a
minute.
Such
high
speeds
ore
ideal
for
straight
stitching
operations.
Wide
zigzag
stitches
and
Automatic
embroidery
work
require
a
lower
speed
which
is
obtained
by
depresssing
the
foot
control
only
slightly.

The
appearance
of
the
finished

is

relationship
between

thread
and

chart.
The

threads
should
be
used
in

Same
experienced
seamstresses
prefer
a

The
bobbin
thread
tension
has
been
set
foramedium
grade
and
need
not
be
adjusted
for
all
ordinary
sewing
operations.
If
a
special
sewing
operation
should
require
a
looser
or
tighter
tension,
turn
the
small
knurled
screw
on
the
bobbin
case
with
the
tip
of
your
thumbasfollows:
Turn
it
left
gEE(
—
for
looser
tension.
Turn
it
right
>)
—
for

tension.
Determine
whether
the
bobbin
thread
tension
is
set
for
a
medium
grade
by
holding
the
thread
end
between
thumb
and
forefinger
and
letting
the
bobbin
case
hang
freely.
The
tension
should
be
strong
enough
to
keep
the
bobbin
case
from
being
pulled
downbyits
own
weight.
However,
as
you
jerk
your
hand
slightly,
the
bobbin
case
should
gradually
slide
down.
Do
not
turn
the
knurled
screw
too
far
to
the
left
to
keep
it
from
falling
out.
Choose
the
lower
tension
slightly
stronger
when
doing
ornamental
stitching
to
be
sure
you
y
always
have
a
neat
satin
stitch
on
the
right
side
of
the
fabric.
The
final
stitch
appeara
nce
can
be
regulated
by
the
upper
tension
dial,
as
follows:
Turn
left
—(E(
for
looser
tension.
Turn
right
)‘—
for
tighter
tension.
The
upper
tension
is
so
designed
that
all
grades
of
tension
—
loose
to
tight
—
con
be
covered
with
one
complete
turnofthe
tension
dial.
The
numbers
on
the
tension
dial
indicate
different
degrees
of
tension.
The
higher
the
number,
the
greater
the
tension.
Only
in
very
rare
cases
will
it
be
necessary
to
reset
the
tension.
For
ordinary
sewing,
the
upper
tension
should
be
set
between
3
and
5.
Your
upper
tension
has
a
third
tension
disc
for
two

The

controj
serves
to
regulate
the

length
and
to
limit
it
in
sewing

The
numbers
on

the
