SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE
1. Be sure your machine is resting securely on
a sturdy, flat surface.
2. Before using your machine the first time be
sure to wipe off any surplus oil from around
the needle plate area that may have remained
during transit.
It is also advisable to run the machine
unthreaded with some spare material under
the presser foot, to absorb any excess oil.
FOOT CONTROL
Push foot control plug into the connector
socket at the bottom right-hand side of the
machine. (See also page 18).
POWER/LIGHT SWITCH
Your machine will not operate until the power
switch is turned on. The same switch controls
both the power and the light.
If you are interrupted, or stop sewing, or leave
the machine unattended, the power light switch
must be switched off or the plug must be
removed from the socket-outlet.
When servicing the machine, or when removing
covers or changing needles or lamps, the
machine must be disconnected from the mains
by removing the plug from the socket-outlet.
PRESSER FOOT LEVER
The presser foot lever raises and lowers your
presser foot.
1 • Lower the presser foot lever to sew.
2. Raise the presser foot lever and the pressure
of the presser foot will be released to insert or
remove thin or thick fabrics.
3. Extra height of the presser foot can be
obtained by lifting the presser foot thumb
screw by finger to allow insertion of thicker
material.
NOTE; Presser foot pressure is set at the
factory. No adjustment is required.
SPOOL PINS
1. Fit the spool stand in the accessory box in
the direction shown by arrow as illustrated.
NOTE: Remember to take off the spool pin
2. Attach the extra spool pin on the right end
of the carrying handle, when sewing with
a twin needle.

CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM
SEWING
Your machine can be used either as a flat-bed
or as a free-arm model.
With the extension table in position it
becomes a fiat-bed with a large working
surface, which slopes gently towards you to
help the smooth flow of the fabric when
sewing.
By removing the extension table, the
machine converts into a free-arm model
which will be found ideal for sewing ail those
awkward, tight corners especially for small
articles for babies and small children.
The free-arm is easily obtained by simply
pulling the extension table to the left as
shown in the illustration. To replace, reverse
this operation ensuring the lugs A and B are
correctly located into their respective holes.
Extra spool
Other advantages of free-arm sewing are as
follows: —
1. Sewing of any 'tubular' article such as
sleeves, cuffs, trousers, shorts, legs of
almost all garments.
2. Easier mending of worn elbows or knees
of clothes.
3. Sewing-in sleeves, particularly on small
garments.
4. Appliqué, embroidery or hemming around
the edges of cuffs etc.
5. Sewing-in elastic casing at the waistline.
