CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE
Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from power source and the main switch is on "O" when the machine is not in use and before inserting or removing parts.
ON
OFF
Connecting the machine
Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the machine is conforming with your electrical power.
Place machine on a stable surface.
1.Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the power cord socket.
2.Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.
3.Turn on the power switch.
4.The sewing lamp will light up when the switch is turned on.
To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
Polarized plug information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will 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 fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
WINDING THE BOBBIN
|
|
|
|
|
Bobbin winding
1 |
Place the thread and spool holder onto the spool pin. |
|
For larger spools of thread, place the large side of the |
|
spool holder toward the spool. For smaller spools of |
|
thread, place the small side of the spool holder toward |
|
the spool, or use the small spool holder. If the thread |
1 |
spool has a thread retaining slit, place this end of the |
|
spool toward the right, so the thread doesn't get caught |
|
while winding the bobbin. |
2 |
Snap the thread into the thread guide. |
2
3 Wind the thread counter-clockwise around the bobbin winder tension disks.
3
4 Place the thread end through one of the inner holes in the bobbin as illustrated and place empty bobbin on the spindle.

6 When the bobbin winder spindle is pushed to the right, which is the "bobbin winding position", the symbol " 
" appears on the LCD screen.
The symbol will disappear from the LCD screen when the bobbin winder spindle is pushed to the left, which is the "sewing position".
7 Hold the thread tail securely in one hand.
8 Press the Start/stop button or the foot control.
9After the bobbin has wound a few turns stop the machine and cut the thread near the hole of the bobbin. Continue winding the bobbin until it is full. The motor stops automatically when the bobbin is full. Stop the machine. Push the bobbin winder spindle to left.
10 Cut the thread and then remove the bobbin.
Please Note: When the bobbin winder switch is placed on the right, "bobbin winding position", the machine will not sew and the handwheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder switch to the left "sewing position".

Attention: Turn power switch to off ("O") before inserting or removing the bobbin.
When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle and presser foot must be fully raised.
11 Insert the bobbin in the bobbin case with the thread running in a counterclockwise direction (arrow).
22 Pull the thread through the slit (A).
33 With a finger held gently on top of the bobbin.
Draw the thread at the arrow markings into the stitch plate thread guide from (A) to (B).
44 Pull the thread at the arrow markings into the stitch plate thread guide from (B) to (C).
To cut off excess thread pull thread back over the cutting off blade at point (C). Close the bobbin cover plate.
THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
|
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please Note: It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.
Start by raising the needle to its highest point, and also raise the presser foot to release the tension discs.
11 |
Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool |
|
1 |
pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, |
|
then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin. |
||
|
||
22 |
Draw the thread from the spool through the upper |
|
|
thread guide. |
2
THREADING THE UPPER THREAD
33 Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the thread through the pre-tension spring as illustrated.
3
44. Thread the tension module by passing the thread between the silver discs.
4
55. Then, down and around the check spring holder.
5
66. At the top of this movement, pass the thread from right to the left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.
6
77. Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide.
Guide the thread through the thread guide located above the needle.
Pull the end of the thread through the needle from front to rear, and pull out about 10 cm of thread.
Use the needle threader to thread the needle. (On the next page.)
7
USING THE NEEDLE THREADER
Attention: Turn power switch to the off position ("O").
Raise the needle to its highest position and lower the presser foot.
11 Lower the needle threader lever slowly and
draw the thread through the thread guide as
illustrated and then to the right.
1
22 The needle threader automatically turns to the threading position and the hook pin passes through the needle eye.
2
33 Take the thread in front of the needle.
3
44 Hold the thread loosely and release the lever slowly. The hook will turn and pass the thread through the needle eye forming a loop.
Pull the thread through the needle eye.
4
DRAWING UP THE LOWER THREAD
11 Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising the needle.
1
22 Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. The bobbin thread will come up in a loop.
2
33 Pull both threads to the back under the presser foot.
3
CUTTING THE THREAD
Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the left side of the face cover and cut using the thread cutter.
The threads are cut at the proper length to start the next seam.
TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.
When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.
ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
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 heavy fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.
STARTING SEWING
Start/stop button
The Start/Stop button can be used to run the machine when the foot controller is unplugged from the machine. Press the button to start sewing, then press it again to stop sewing. The machine will run slowly at the start of sewing.

The appliance must be used with the foot controller C-9000 manufactured by CHIEN HUNG TAIWAN., LTD.
THREAD TENSION
-Basic thread tension setting is "4". To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To decrease the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
-Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing. There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics. However, 90% of all sewing will be between the "3" and "5" ("4" is the basic setting).
-For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.
