Connecting Machine to Power Source

Connect the machine to a power source as illustrated. (1) This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug which must be used with the appropriate polarized outlet. (2)

Unplug power cord when machine is not in use.

The foot control pedal regulates the sewing speed. (3)

Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt of how to connect machine to power source. Unplug power cord when machine is not in use. The foot control must be used with the appliance by

(110-120V area)/ (220-240V

area)/ (110-125V area).

Press main switch (A) to " l " for power and light.

For appliance with a polarized plug (one blade is 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 it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised to a higher position for easy positioning of the work. (A)

The presser foot will remain raised as long as you hold up the presser foot lifter. As soon as you release it, the presser foot will drop back down to the intermediate position.

The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no particular readjustment according to the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).

However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.

For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for heavy fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

It is suggested that you turn the screw in one quarter inch increments so that it can be easily reset to factory settings.

Winding the Bobbin

Inserting the Bobbin

When inserting or removing the bobbin, raise the presser foot & make sure the needle is fully raised.

Attention:

1. Remove the bobbin cover plate by pushing the small tab to the right of the cover towards the right.

2. Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread running counterclockwise direction (arrow).

3. Pull the thread through the slit (A).

4. Draw the thread clockwise until it slips into the notch (B), while holding the bobbin down with the tip of your finger.

5. Pull out about 15 cm (6 inches) of thread towards the back of the plate and attach the bobbin cover plate. (C)

Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing the bobbin.

This is a simple operation but it is important to carry out correctly as by not doing so .

- Start by raising the needle to its highest point (1), and continue turning the handwheel* counterclockwise until the needle just slightly begins to descend. You must raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.

For safety, it is strongly suggested you turn off the power

before threading.

- Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the holder with the thread coming off the spool from the back as shown and place appropriate spool holder next to the spool. For small thread spools, place small side of spool holder next to spool. (2)

- Draw thread from spool through the upper thread guide (3) and pulling thread through pre-tension spring as illustrated. (4)

- Thread tension module by leading thread down right channel. (5) During this process it is helpful to hold the thread between the spool and thread guide, as this will help to seat the thread between the tension discs.

- At the top of this movement pass thread from right to left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again. (6)

- Now pass the thread behind the horizontal thread guide, and then behind the thin wire needle clamp guide (7) and then down to the needle which should be threaded from front to back.

- Pull about 6 - 8 inches of thread under the presser foot to the rear beyond the needle eye. Trim thread to length with built-in thread cutter. (8)

* Never turn the handwheel away from you as this may cause the

ti ming to b e dis rup ted. Alw ays t urn the h and whe el counterclockwise (towards you).
