hole.
Organizing the accessories
Place the enclosed accessories into the
accessory compartment.
Inserting the detachable work support
Push the pins of the detachable work support (13) from the left fully into the holes
provided.
When inserting the detachable work support, make sure that it is Á ush with the
free arm of the sewing machine.
11
Operating the machine
Preparing the machine for bobbin
winding
Pull the handwheel (7) fully to the right.
This will prevent the needle moving while
the machine is winding the bobbin.
Mounting the bobbin
Switch off the master switch (12)
Place the empty bobbin onto the pin of
the bobbin winding mechanism and press
it down as far as possible. Push the bobbin to the right.
Note: The bobbin can only be wound if
it is moved fully to the right.
Winding the bobbin
Pull the spool holder (5) up and place a spool on it.
Place the thread clockwise into the bobbin winder tension (2) and run it to the bobbin.
Wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin several times.
Turn the master switch (12) on and press the foot pedal.
Let go of the thread after a few revolutions. As soon as the bobbin is full the winding
action will be stopped automatically. Press the full bobbin to the left and remove it from
the pin.

Operating the machine
Bobbin winder tension
Pass the thread through the bobbin
thread tension (2) in a clockwise direction,
so that it crosses over itself on the way to
the bobbin.
Winding a bobbin through the needle
It is possible to wind bobbins even when
the machine is threaded. Raise the presser bar lifter (26) to the top position. Pull
the thread underneath the presser foot.
Pull the thread upward through the left-hand threader slot (18). Place the thread from
left to right through the take-up lever (28). Wind the beginning of the thread several
times around the bobbin in a clockwise direction. Hold the end of the thread À rmly and
press the foot pedal.
Tip: While winding the bobbin, gently push down the front of the presser foot with
your finger.
Don·t forget: After winding a bobbin, press the handwheel (7) back to the left!

Switch off the master switch (12).
Hold the side of the hook cover (19) and
open it towards you.
Taking out the bobbin case
Lift the latch of the bobbin case and pull
the bobbin case out. Release the latch
and take out the empty bobbin.
Thread tension
In order to achieve a perfect seam appearance and durability make sure the
needle tension is correctly adjusted, so
that the thread interlace is not visible on
both sides of the fabric.
The following is valid for general
sewing work:
Thread interlace is visible on the top side
of the fabric:
• The needle thread tension is too tight .
• The thread tension must be lowered.
Thread interlace is visible on the underside of the fabric:
• The needle thread tension is too loose.
• The thread tension must be raised.
• For fancy stitches, buttonholes and
darning the thread interlace should be
visible on the underside of the fabric.
