Carrying handle

Lift up the carrying handle of the sewing machine from behind.

Carrying case

The carrying case, which is part of the basic equipment, protects your sewing machine from dust and damage during transport.

Before putting on the carrying case, lift up the carrying handle. Make sure the sewing machine symbol on the carrying case is pointing toward you.

Electrical connection

Connect the plug of the foot pedal to the connection bushing (11) on the sewing machine and the electrical socket.

The sewing speed is regulated by pressing the foot pedal. For this sewing machine has to be used foot controller TJC-211 (220-240V) or TJC-150 (120V).

Master switch

The sewing lamp lights up when the master switch (12) is turned on. The machine is now ready to sew.

10

Operating the machine

Accessory compartment

The accessory compartment is found underneath the detachable work support (13), that has to be opened.

Removing the detachable work support /free arm

In order to be able to sew with the free arm, you must swing the detachable work support (13) to the left and lift it out of the 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 Áush 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.

12

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 Àrmly 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!

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.

14
