2. Preparations

Preparations

Carrying case

Place the enclosed lead cord, the foot control and instruction book into the compartment of the carrying case.

Lid

Open the folding lid (24) upwards.

The stitches of the sewing machine are illustrated on the inside of the lid.

2:1

Preparations

Electrical connection

Connect the lead cord between the socket (8) of the sewing machine and the wall outlet.

For the USA and Canada:

This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to À t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not À t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not À t, contact a qualiÀ ed electrician to install the proper outlet.

DO NOT modify the plug in any way!

Connecting the foot control

Connect the plug of the foot control to the connection socket (9) of the sewing machine.

The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot control.

The foot control type AT 0070 has to be used for this sewing machine.

220 V... 240 V

120 V

Main switch

When the main switch (10) is switched on (switch function I) the sewing lamp lights up and program No. 1 is indicated in the expression window.

The sewing machine is now ready to function.

"0" = OFF "I" = ON

Voltage Switch 220 - 240V / 120V

The sewing machine is set to the voltage 220 - 240V. To change the voltage to 120V (US/Canada), you must set the voltage switch on the underside of the machine to 120 V.

If you are unsure of the correct voltage for your country, please check with your authorized sewing machine dealer or local electrical authorities before plugging in your machine.

2:2

Preparations

Accessory tray

Open the accessory tray by placing your left index À nger on the ridged area on the left of the lid and open the lid upwards and towards you.

Note: Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabric but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difÀ cult or impossible to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric in especially red and blue often contain a lot of excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before sewing/ embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

Arranging the accessories

The standard accessories are marked with numbers. Arrange the parts in the respective compartments of the accessory tray.

Removing the accessory tray (free arm)

In order to sew using the free arm, swing the accessory tray to the left and lift it upwards out of the hole. When replacing the tray, make sure it is Á ush with the free arm of the sewing machine.

2:3

Preparations

Preparing the machine for bobbin winding

Place an empty bobbin so that the black pin of the bobbin winder snaps into the slot of the bobbin. The Pfaff logo is facing up.

Push the bobbin to the right.

Note: The bobbin can only be wound if it is moved fully to the right

Winding the bobbin from the spool pin

Place the sewing thread on the spool pin. To obtain free movement of the thread and hold the thread spool À rmly, À t a spool cap of the right size for the thread spool.

Threading

Place the thread into guide A from the front and pull it counter clockwise around the pre-tension device B. Make sure the thread is pulled securely inside the pre-tension device for correct thread tension. Pull the thread under the thread guide C (from back to front). Wind the thread tail around the bobbin several times in a clockwise direction.

Turn on the machine

Hold the end of the thread À rmly and press the foot control. As soon as the bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped automatically. Push the bobbin to the left, cut the thread and remove bobbin from the winder.

2:4

Preparations

Winding from the second spool pin

Insert the second spool pin in the hole provided.

Threading

Thread as shown on page 2:4.

Turn on the machine

Hold the end of the thread À rmly and press the foot control. As soon as the bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped automatically. Cut the thread, push the bobbin to the left and remove bobbin from the winder.

Bobbin door

Switch off the main switch

Hold the bobbin door (26) at the left side and open it towards the front

Taking out the bobbin case

Lift the latch of the bobbin case and pull the bobbin case out of the machine. Release the latch and take the empty bobbin out of the bobbin case.

2:5

Preparations

Thread tension

To obtain a perfect seam appearance and durability make sure the needle thread tensions is correctly adjusted, i.e. the threads evenly meet between the two fabric layers.

The following is valid for general sewing:

Bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too tight.

The thread tension must be corrected.

Top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too loose.

The thread tension must be corrected.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread should be visible on the underside of the fabric.

Inserting the bobbin

Insert the full bobbin (with the Pfaff logo facing towards the bobbin case) in the bobbin case. When doing so, pull the thread through slot A, then under tension spring B until it rests in the opening (see arrow).

Check:

When you look at the bobbin and pull the thread, the bobbin must turn clockwise

Inserting the bobbin case

Lift latch E and push the bobbin case fully onto pin C of the sewing hook. Opening D of the bobbin case must face upwards.

Check:

Pull the bobbin thread sharply. The bobbin case must not fall out of the hook.
