INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR ZIGZAG

INTRODUCTION

Your Zigzag sewing machine is the product of many years of research and development m

the field of household sewing machines. It b also the ultimate in efficiency, quality and design, yet its moving and wearing parts such as needles, bobbins, bobbin cases, hooks and so forth are standard and interchangeable with parts immediately at sewing machine stores throughout

the world. This precision sewing head, with its simplified design and many labour saving extras, is the

result of our incessant exertion and each machine is built to the most exacting specifications

under our rigid quality control program.

You have made an excellent choice and you are deserved of the proud owner of Super De

Luxe sewing machine.which wiU surely lead to your happy life. You will soon realize how quickly you will become attached to your new machine as a friend of the family who really lends you a hand. The ingenious construction makes it possible to do many jobs on the new

machine which until now had to be done by hand.

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.

Pass the thread through the notched thread guide (3).

Draw the thread down through the bobbin winder thread guide (16) at right corner of the

Now iiS'in'nd of the thread around an empty bobbin seven or eight times and place

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

fits into the slot in the bobbin. . ,

Push the bobbin winder levever (D) down until the small rubber wheel presses against the

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,

the bobbin winder will automatically stop. Break off the thread and detach the bobbin from the spindle. ■ i u

Hold the balance wheel firmly with left hand and with right hand turn the

knob

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.
