Page 6
SAFE GUAEP THE ACTION OF YOUR MACHINE
Make sure the balance wheel always turns toward the operator. ^ ^
Never run the machine with the presser foot in the down position without cloth between the
presser foot and the feed dog.
Never run machine when the bobbin case and the needle are threaded without first placing
material under the presser foot. ^ ^ '
Caution, never try to help the machine feed by pulling the material through the feed. This will
create a bent needle condition. The machine’s feed is entirely automatic.
Never operate the machine without the hook race cover the bobbin case in the closed position.
Keep a small piece of doth underneath presser foot whenever machine is not in use. This will
prevent damage to feed dog and presser foot.
Do not operate machine when presser foot lever is raised.
Keep slide or hinged dosed when operating machine.

TO WIND THE BOBBIN
It is necessary to understand the function of the Stop Motion by means of which the balance
wheel is disconnected from the sewing mechanism, when required, thus permitting the winding
the bobbin without sewing. , , , u i vt, ft,,. hand
a) Turn the stop motion knob toward you while holding the balance wheel with the left hand^
This will then permit the balance wheel to turn freely while the needle bar remains mo
nicss.
Place a spool of thread on the spool pin at backside of arm.
b)
Pass the thread through the notched thread guide (3).
c)
Draw the thread down through the bobbin winder thread guide (16) at right corner of the

threaded bobbin on the spindle (C) of the bobbin winder. , ^
Press the bobbin into the spindle with the left hand, making sure that the Pm on the spind
f)
fits into the slot in the bobbin. . ,
Push the bobbin winder levever (D) down until the small rubber wheel presses against the
g)
Lb of the balance wheel and the clasp (E) falls between the sides of the bobbin holding it
TuL'AeLalance wheel toward you and run the machine as in sewing. When bobbin is full,

TO REPLACE THE NEEDLE
To replace the needle, raise the needle bar to its highest
point by turning the balance wheel toward you by hand.
Loosen the needle clamp screw on the right hand side
and the needle clamp will open, allowing the old needle to
fall out.
Remove the old needle and slide the new needle up
(FLAT SIDE TOWARD THE BALANCE WHEEL) as
far as it will go. When the needle hits the stop it is in
position correctly. Now fasten the needle clamp securely.
For best results change needles frequently.
NEEDLES AND THREAD
Never use a bent needle, nor one with a blunt point, since this cause imperfect stitches and may
cause the needle to break. Unless the needle is in dear to the stop, flat side toward the balance
wheel, the machine will be out of "Time", and skipped or imperfect stitches wjU result and
needles may break. ....... • ui .
The siae of the rteedle should conform to the sir.e of the thread and both should be suitable to
the material. Use a needle sufficiently large to permit the thread to pass freely through the eye.
In general sewing, use the same siae thread in the bobbin as is used on top.

front of the bobhin case and hold securely as you withdraw bobbin case fr.mi arouiu t re to c e r
post When held in the above manner the bobbin will not fall out of the bobbin ca.se.
After winding a fresh bobbin and threading the bobbin case latch (At with left thumb and
forefinger, to prevent the bobbin from falling out.
Page 12
Keeping the protruding finger (C) top side
toward the delivery eye (B), pass the bobbin
case around the holder post (D) until the finger
enters the delivery eye. When in correct position
a stud on the holder post will catch the latch
mechanism holding the bobbin case firmly in
place.
This operatioo is easy - NEVER P'ORCE IT.
The three or four inches of thread hanging free
frem the bobbin case will be brought up through
the needle plate stitch hole.
Page 13
THREADING MACHINE
To prevent breaking of the upper thread, it is essential to thread the machine as described below:
a) Bring needle to its highest position by turning the balance wheel toward you.
Place the spool of thread on one of reel holder pin at the back of arm, and lead the thread
b)
to the notched thread guide ( 3 ) .
Draw the thread down throngh the Tension Discs i26) from right to left.
c)
Draw the thread up over the Wire Check Spring (27) and through the eye of the Retaining
d)
Thread Guide Bar (28) from right to left.
e) Now take the thread up through the eye of Take Up
Lever ( 2 ) and down through the thread guide (24) .
f) Then hook into Wire Guide (24) attached to the
Needle Clamp and finally pass it from right to left
through the eye of the needle, leaving about four
inches of thread hanging free.
The machine is now ready for sewing. It is important
once the machine is threaded, to make certain that the
presser foot is down, and that there is fabric between
presser foot and needle plate. Failure to observe this
precaution may cause the threads to get tangled underneath
the needleplate, jam the shuttle hook and damage or break
the needle.
Note : Refer the Numbers to P. 1.

Holding the loose end of the needle thread m your
left hand, turn the balance wheel toward you by hand
„pril the needle moves down and up again to its
highest point. Pul the needle thread gently and the
bobbin thread wil come up with' it through the
needle hole. ^ ^
If the bobbin thread does not rise, check to see if at
least 3 or 4 inches of bobbin thread' is hanging
loosely from the bobbin case. Then place both ends
of the thread back between the two presser foot toes.

needle tension onlv.
I'o increase the tension, turn the thumb nut clockwise and to lessen the tension, turn the nut in
the opposite direction. The tension ttdjust from 0 to in one 3B0 turn, with 0 being the lightest
tension and 9 being the tightest. All tuljustnieiits should be made gradually, not ttbruptly, and the
required tension setting will vary with the size of thread being used. A little practice will mtike
instant tension adjustments possible. .All atljustments should be made while the presser foot is
down since tin automatic release does not permit adjustments to be made when the fot)t is up.
If a perfect stitch cannot he tibtained by adjusting the needle thread tension, it may be necessary
to adjust the bobbin thread tension as explained on page 6. Fig. C.
This machine is correctly adjusted before letiving the f.ictory tind checked and readjusted before
the dealer delivers it to you. A careful regulation of the tensions on this machine will assure you
of the finest seams that mechanical design will produce.

ADJUSTING PRESSURE ON MATERIAL
This is located on the top of the machine directly
over the presser bar and presser foot. Pressuie on
material must be varied according to the materials
to be sewn. Instead of ordinary Presser Regulat
ing Thumb Screw', this machine is equipped
with Darner (Patch-O-Matic) for quicker and
easier adjustment of pressure of presser foot on
material. The pressure wall be increased simply
by pressing downward on the top of regulator
until the desired tension is obtained. When the
regulator is at its bottom, the maximum pressure
shall be given. To lessen the pressure, turn the
body clockwise by which will automatically jump
up inside part of regulator reducing the pressure
to the minimum. In this position, mending,
darning, monogram work et4, may be done by ^
moving material slowly by hand while running I; '
machine at a fair speed. It is worth remembering
that the heavier the material, the heavier the
pressure and the lighter the material, the lighter the pressure. When, however, is applied more
than necessary, it will cause heavy running of the machine, hence pressure must alw'ays be
adjusted within the suitable limit.

ADJUSTING THE STITCH
In order to change length of stitch, this machine can
be adjnsted to make to ”5” indicated by the
nnmerals on the stitch indicating triew-finder, with
”1” being the smallest stitch and ”5” bong the
longest. ^ ^
To set the stitch properly, turn the dial until the
desired number appears in' the view-finder and the
number corresponds todesired stitch length. ;
A little experience witt teach you which number giyes
you the proper stitch for whatever material you are
working with.^

SEWING HINTS
SEE THAT THE PRESSER FOOT is securely clamped by the screw and snug against the
presser bar so that the needle may pass through the opening in the foot without any interference.
SKIPPED STITCHES may be caused by a bent or blunt needle; by incorrect setting of the
needle: the wrong size needle: by a thread too heavy for the size of the needle.
BREAKING NEEDLES are usually due to pulling on the work, causing the needle to get out of
line and strike throat plate, thus breaking or bending the needle.
It may be due to presser foot or attachments not being securely fastened to presser bar.
Be sure to use the correct size needle and thread for material.
BREAKING THE UPPER THREAD may be
caused by:
( 1 ) Incorrect threading.
Not bringing up bobbin thread correctly.
(2)
Upper tension too tight.
(3)
Needle imperfect, or set incorrectly.
(4)
Needle rubbing against attachments or
C 5 )
presserfoot.
Needle eye too small for thread.
(6)
Starting the machine at full speed.
C 7 )
Starting without take-up lever at highest
(8)
point.
BREAKING THE LOWER THREAD may be
caused by:
( 1 ) Incorrect threading of bobbin case.
Too tight a tension.
( 2 )
Bobbin wound too full to revolve freely.
( 3 )
Not bringing up under thread correctly.
( 4 )
Hole in the needle plate rough, caused
(5)
by needle striking the plate.
UNEVEN STITCHES may be caused by;
( 1 ) Presser foot not resting evenly on material.
Feed not high enough.

Firstly, place the fabric under the presser foot so that the folded part runs along the right
edge of the foot. Adjust the machine so that can do a straight sewing as in an ordinary
manner. This way of blindstitching is to perform four to six straight stitches and one ZIGZAG
stitch to right in succes.sion. By moving ZIGZAG lever, regulate the width of the ZIGZAG
stitch so that in making ZIGZAG stitch to the right, the needle just penetrates the crease of
the folding. Having completed the seam, unfold by removing the tacking and turn back. A
fine thin needle and thin thread are preferable for this work.
