2. The model and serial number of your
machine, which you will find on the
identification plate, at the back.
;
SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE
Set your sewing machine on a sturdy, fiat
surface.
Your sewing machine has been thoroughly
2.
oiled at the factory. Be sure to wipe off
the needle plate area and bed plate
carefully before sewing a garment. It is
wise to practice on a scrap of fabric so
any surplus oil is absorbed.
3. FOOT CONTROL
Push foot control plug into the connector
socket at the bottom right-hand side of
the machine.
4. POWER/LIGHT SWITCH
Your machine will not operate unless the
power/light switch is turned on. This
same switch controls both the machine
power and sewing light. When leaving
your machine unattended, the machine
MUST be switched off or the plug
removed from the socket-outlet.
When servicing the sewing machine, or
when removing covers or changing
lamps, the machine MUST be discon
nected from the supply by removing the
plug from the socket-outlet.
5. ADJUSTING MACHINE BALANCE
In order that you may be able to
compensate for any uneveness on your
working surface, the machine is fitted
with an adjustable rubber stud.
(1) Push release lever towards you to
open side cover.
(2) Adjust the height of the rubber stud
by turning the bolt.
In order to withdraw the rubber stud,
turn the bolt counter-clockwise.

SPOOL HOLDERS
For large diameter cone spools use the
rubber spool holders with the large end at the
top, and for small diameter ones, use the
same rubber spool holders with small end at
the top.
Always use the extension plate with spool
holders.

SPOOL CAPS
When using reel type thread spools, remove
the spool holders and place spool caps over
the thread spools.
SPOOL NETS
Polyester (filament) threads, or bulk nylon
threads are likely to loosen off the spool while
unwinding, causing thread tangling or inter
mittent irregular thread feeding. To keep
consistent unwinding of such threads, hence
constant balancing of thread tensions on
stitches, utilize the spool net supplied in the
accessories, by sleeving it over the spool as
illustrated.

FITTING THE NEEDLE
Raise needle bar to its highest point by
turning hand wheel towards you, but leave
presser foot down.
Loosen needle clamp screw to remove old
needle. Place new needle with FLAT SIDE
AWAY FROM YOU, up into the groove of
the needle bar, ensuring that it is inserted as
far up as it will go. Re-tighten the needle
clamp screw securely.
THREADING YOUR MACHINE
Wrong threading may cause skipped stitches,
breaking threads, or other problems.
Try to learn the correct threading at this stage
before moving on to test the machine
stitches.
Threading must be carried out in the
sequence of Upper Looper — Lower Looper—
Needle, in this order.
THREADING UPPER LOOPER
Whenever it becomes necessary to re-threac|
lower looper while sewing, remove needlq
thread out of the needle eye first, and
re-thread the lower looper, in order to keed
the threads from tangling each other.
Open the front cover and the side coverj
beforehand.
Raise needle bar to its highest point by
turning hand wheel towards you by hand.

HELPFUL HINTS
REPLACING THREAD SPOOLS
When replacing thread spools, the following
steps may be helpful for guick changeover.
Cut off existing threads in the vicinity of
1.
spools and tie-connect the cut ends (not
spool side) with the threads from new
spools.
Raise presser foot.
2.
Lower needle bar to its bottom position
3.
by turning hand wheel counter clockwise
by hand. Pressing down and holding
tension release lever, carefully pull the
existing looper threads until the connect
ing knots come under the presser foot.
As for the needle thread, stop pulling the
thread when the knot approaches to
needle eye, cut off the knot and thread
the needle with new thread.
TESTING STITCH
OVERLOCK STITCHES
After threading is completed, test the the
machine stitch in the following order.
1. Lower the presser foot. Lightly pulling all
the threads towards left, rotate the hand
wheel towards you a few times by hand,
and see if the lock stitches are properly
formed.
Check and confirm balance of thread
2.
tensions through test sewing with spare
fabric that you plan to sew. Start to run
the machine at low speed and feed in test
fabric under the presser foot, by slightly
pushing it forward. (This can be done
with the presser foot down on most
fabrics except bulky materials,) Guide the
fabric with light touch of your hand, as
machine automatically feeds the material.
CUTTING NEEDLE THREAD
Raveled, or loose end of the thread may
cause difficulty in needle threading. To
obtain clear-cut end, draw the thread passing
under the moving cutter and cut it by turning
hand wheel manually towards you, or by
using scissors.
3. On reaching fabric end, continue running
machine at low speed, gently pulling the
fabric rearwardly, until extra lock stitches
in length of about 5 to 7 cm are produced
without fabric.
Cut it off at the center with a pair of
scissors, or using thread cutter on the
presser bar.

ADJUSTING THREAD TENSIONS
Thread tensions will vary according to the
type and thickness of both thread and fabric.
Turning tension dial upwards gives a tighter
thread tension.Turning tension dial down
wards gives a looser thread tension. The
higher the number, the tighter the tension.
Test each thread tension on a spare piece of
the fabric you propose using.
* Set up each thread tension according to the chart provided below
MACHINE SETTING

its extreme left-end position for
double-chain stitching.
3. Close the front cover and the
side cover.
1. Set the stitch length control at 3. Raise
the presser foot, place a spare piece of
fabric under the foot, and lower the foot.
Attention: This model does not produce
chain stitches without fabric.
Be sure that fabric be placed
under the needle before start
ing to run the machine. The
upper looper thread is not used
to form double-chain stitches,
so remove the thread from
upper looper.
Start sewing at low speed, lightly guiding
the fabric by hand as machine feeds it.
2. On reaching fabric end, stop machine and
bring needle bar to its highest point by
manually turning hand wheel towards
you. Raise Presser foot. Pressing down

1. НЕМ STITCHING
Machine trims and overlooks
fabric edges simultaneously,
to' produce neat, reinforced
hem.
PIN TUCKS
Pin tucks are used for
decorative appearance, or,
purposely applied in the area
necessary to reduce fabric
width partially. When sewing
along the pre-folded line, pay
attention to keep fabric off the
moving cutter blade to avoid
damage on fabric.
decorative braids
Sew over the braid in width
suitable for overlook stitch
width, giving it proper tension
with your hands.
Triple-twisting of the finished
braids in selected color
combination will add fabulous
decorations to your garment.
4. NARROW HEMS
Narrow hems are formed by overlooking
in width of about 2 rnm over the
automatically turned-up edges, and are
widely accepted for finishing edges on
shear fabrics, like georgette de Chine
silk etc... not recommended for use on
heavy materials on account of its limited
stitch width.
* Replace regular needle plate with
narrow/rolled hem needle plate.
* Set stitch length control at 1.5 to 2 mm.
* Use Tetron No. 50 thread for needle
and woolly nylon (less stretchable;
threads for both loopers.
5. ROLLED HEMS
With the same stitch width of about
2 mm, as for narrow hems, fabric edge is
further rolled in by more concentrated
stitches, which produce additional
strength to the edges and provide
different decorative appearance best
suitable for finishing edges on frills.
* Replace regular needle plate with
narrow/rolled hem needle plate.
* Set stitch length control at 1 to 1.5 mm.
* Use Tetron No. 100 thread for needle,
and woolly nylon threads (less stretch-
able! for both loopers.
SHELL HEMS
Sewing on shear fabrics with the same
thread tensions as for roll hemming, but
with a longer stitch length, will produce a
shell-tuck effect, so-called PIQUE, which
is most suitable for edge decorations on
scarves and others made of thin materials.
* Replace needle plate with the narrow/
rolled hem needle plate as supplied with
other accessories.
* Set stitch length control to produce 3 to
4 mm stitches.
* Use Tetron No. 100 thread for needle
and woolly nylon, or bulky nylon thread
(less stretchablel for both loopers.
* See page 15 and 16 for adjusting thread
tensions.

double-chain stitches
The double-chain stitches present
appearance like conventional
straight stitches on surfaceof fabric,
and chain effect on the back
-suitable for sewing a single, or
multiple layers of stretchable fabrics.
Upper looper thread is not used in
forming the stitches.
Double-chain stitching can be
performed either with trimming the
fabric, or without trimming.
Double-chain stitches without
trimming fabric
MACHINE SETTING
1. Open the front cover and the side
cover. (See page 6.)
2. Manually turning the hand wheel
towards you, set lower thread
guide at its lowest point. Set the
stitch selector lever at its extreme
left-end position for double-chain
stitching.
3. Assemble the extension table
onto the machine.
ASSEMBLING TO MACHINE BASE
Assemble the extension table with turned-up
legs, by pushing in the two studs on the rear
edge to the holes provided on machine base.
Attention: When assembling the extension
table to machine base, care must
be exercised to keep both upper
and lower looper threads un
touched and free from any ob
struction on thread paths.
Use the cloth guide to be attached to the
extension table.
The cloth guide helps feed the fabric straight,
or when sewing along at a fixed distance
from the fabric edge.
Graduations are marked on extension table
for guide reference.
Place the cloth guide at the desired positioti,
and secure it tightly onto the extension table
with thumb screw.
CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS WHILE
DOUBLE-CHAIN STITCHING
To change sewing directions while sewing
with double-chain stitches, stop the machine
with needle at its lowest position piercing
through the fabric, raise presser foot,
carefully turn around the fabric to the desired
direction, lower the foot, and start sewing in
the new direction.

SAFETY STITCHES
So-called safety stitches are formed in
combination of double-chain stitching and
overlooking, for the purpose of reinforcement
on seams.
Finish the double-chain stitching first, and
overlock the seam preferably 2 or 3 mm apart
from the double-chain stitching line.

BASIC TECHNIQUES
Sewing off and back on creates extra thread
which must be disposed of and tied off.
INSIDE CORNERS
You may either cut your fabric to desired size
or mark your fabric and carefully follow your
line and trim off excess.
OUTSIDE CORNERS
To attain a neat outside corner, do the
following:
1. Sew one side of the fabric to end.
2. Carefully raise the needle and presser
foot.
3. Grasp the fabric gently and rotate the
cloth.
4. Slide the threads off the seam forming on
the tongue of the needle plate, while
pressing the tension release lever down
with your right hand.
5. Realign the edge of the fabric and put the
cut edge of the fabric against the cutter.
6. Align the needle back into the needle line
instead of the edge of the fabric.
7. Overlook the edge as needed, repeat for
other corners.
Align the fabric edge with the inside edge

6. Align needle to form a square corner and
sew the balance of your seam.
UNCUT MATERIAL: Follow the same
procedure, but you must carefully follow
your mark. Always consider that you will
have excess cut-away material to handle.

INWARD CURVES (Concave)
When sewing on inward curve, guide the
fabric gently in the way that the seam line is
passing through under the front right edge of
presser foot (or a bit inward towards left),
constantly applying light pressure by left
hand at point A and by right hand at point B,
in the directions as indicated by arrows on
illustration.
OUTWARD CURVES (Convex)
Do the same way as for sewing on inward
curve, but applying pressures in the opposite
directions at points A and B respectively, as
indicated by arrows.
FINISHING SEAM ENDS
When sewing work has been done, it is
recommended that both ends of the seams
be finished with a little extra work.

ATTACHING ELASTIC TAPE
USING ELASTIC FOOT
1. Replace regular foot with elastic foot.
2. Set stitch length to about 4.
3. Slightly raise the roller portion of the foot
and insert elastic tape between the roller
and the lower support bar as illustrated,
until the edge of elastic reaches the feed
dog teeth. (It may be necessary to loosen
the Tension Control Screw on the Roller
to feed the Elastic through).
4. Sew the elastic tape for about one inch or
so to confirm the tape is being properly
sewn.
5. Place the fabric under the foot and sew
together with the elastic tape.
6. Check that the Stitch formation is
uniformally balanced and if necessary
adjust the Thread Tension Controls.

elasticity of the fabric after it is sewn.
b. Looser tension of the roller gives less
elasticity of the fabric.
