FOR EUROPEAN AND SIMILAR TERRITORIES:
Machines for Great Britain and some other countries having similar wiring standards are shipped from the
factory without a plug for connection to the mains. The wires in this mains lead are colored In accordance with
the following code.
Blue: neutral (N) Brown: live (L)
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the colored markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which Is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter N or colored
black. The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with letter L or
colored red. If a 13 Amp. (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 Amp. fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is
used, a 5 Amp. fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adaptor or at the distribution board.
Neither cord is to be connected to the earth terminal of a Ihree-pin plug.

Be sure to make reference to "Warning" on
following page.
POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION (FOR U.S.A. & CANADA ONLY)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to 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 tit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Warning;
A
* Be sure that the electrical voltage of the electric outlet (wall receptacle) is the same as the rated
voltage of the motor.
* Handle the foot controller with care and avoid dropping it on the floor. Be sure not to place
anything on top of it when not in use.
* Disconnect the power line plug from the electric outlet when changing needles, presser feet or
throat plates, or when leaving the machine unattended. This eliminates the possibility of starting
the machine by accidentally pressing the controller.
9. PREPARATION FOR THREADING

12. HOW TO CHANGE THREADS /
TIE ON METHOD
To change thread type or color, clip thread near the
spool.
Place new thread on stand.
Tie new thread and old thread ends together.
Clip thread tails to 2 ~ 3cm (1 inch) length.
If clipped too short, threads may come untied.
Firmly pull both thread to test knot security.
Note tension dial settings.
Turn the tension dials down until the dial stops.
• Pull the threads through the machine one at a time.
• If threads do not pull easily, check for tangles on
thread guides or looping under thread stand.
• When pulling thread through the needle, STOP when
the knot is in front of the needle.
•
• Cut the thread, and insert it through the needle.
• Return tension dials to previous settings.
20
13. HOW то ADJUST THE STITCH
LENGTH
The stitch length dial should be set on the 3 mm
(1/8 inch) setting for most sewing conditions.
Adjust the stitch length to 4mm (5/32 inch) when
sewing heavy weight fabrics.
Adjust the stitch length to 2mm (5/64 inch) when
sewing light weight fabrics to obtain excellent seams
without puckering.
14. HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAM
WIDTH
• Overedge seam width can be achieved by
repositioning the needle position and also with the
width adjustment knob.
Width Adjustment by Changing Needle Position
Overedge seam width can be adjusted by changing
the needie position.
a) When only left needle is used.....................5.7 mm
(7/32 inch)
b) When only right needle is used
..................

15. HOW TO ADJUST THE PRESSER
FOOT PRESSURE
The presser foot pressure of this machine is
preadjusted at the factory to suit the sewing of
medium weight fabrics.
Most of the materials do not require adjustment of
presser foot pressure however, there are some
instances where adjustment is necessary when
sewing lightweight and heavyweight fabrics.
In such case, insert screwdriver through access hole
(A) in top cover and into slot (B) in pressure
regulating screw and turn regulating screw as
required.
Note: Turn regulating screw counterclockwise until
It stops against the top cover. Then turn
screw clockwise 6 turns which will be the
standard presser bar pressure.
For lightweight fabric ... Decrease the pressure
For heavyweight fabric ... Increase the pressure

16. DIFFERENTIAL FEED
• Differential feed is a system which “stretches" or
"gathers" the fabric, when amount of feed of front
feed dog in relation to the rear feed dog is changed.
• The differential feed ratio ranges from 1 ; 0.7 ~
1 : 2.0. Adjustment is made by means of the
differential feed adjusting lever pictured below.
• Use of differential feed is very effective in overedging
stretch fabrics and fabrics cut on the bias.
• Graduation “1.0" is differential feed adjusting lever
setting for ratio 1:1.
Gathered Overedge
Gathered overedge is most suited for shirring
sleeves, yokes, front and back bodices, skirt hems,
etc. in stretch fabrics such as knits and jersey before
assembling into garment.
To set the differential feed adjusting lever
• Set differential feed adjusting lever knob below
graduation “1.0". Setting of adjusting lever knob
depends on material being sewn as well as the
amount of gather therefore set knob to suit the fabric
and test sew before sewing your garment.
• When feed regulating dial is set at "3" or over, the
amount of feed of the main feed dog will change to
"3“ automatically when adjusting lever knob is set
to 2.0.
Note: For normal overedge stitching, set differential
feed adjusting lever knob to graduation "1.0".
* •
23
Stretch Overedge
stretch overedge is ideal for sewing decorative
collars, sleeves, skirt hems, etc. on loosely knit and
woven fabrics.
To set the differential feed adjusting lever
• Set differential feed adjusting lever knob above
graduation "1.0".
To sew a seam, apply gentle tension to the fabric
by holding the seam lightly in front and back of the
presser foot.
Note: * If amount of “stretch" is not correctly set in
relation to the fabric being sewn, the fabric
is apt to shift away from the needle
resulting in improperly sewn overedge
seam. In such case, reset differential feed
adjusting lever closer to the center mark.
* Be sure to reset the differential feed
adjusting lever to graduation "1.0" for
normal overedge stitching.

17. HOWTO DISENGAGE MOVABLE
UPPER KNIFE
Caution :
A
To place movable knife in nonworkina position
Be sure to turn off power switch.
• Turn handwheel over toward you and raise upper
knife to its highest position.
Open looper cover (page 9 ).
Push the movable knife holder to the right as far as
it will go.
Turn the knob away from you until the knife clicks
