Warning
against injuries and
material damages:
According to legislation, you as the user of an
electrical appliance are responsible for preventing
possible accidents through safety-conscious
behaviour:
• Keep your work space tidy. An untidy workplace
can lead to accidents.
• Provide adequate lighting when working!
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in the moving parts. You should also
wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Avoid abnormal posture. Remain steady and in a
well-balanced position at all times.
• Be alert! Pay attention to what you are doing.
Always take a rational approach to your work.
Never work with the sewing machine if you are
unable to concentrate or if you are feeling unwell!
If accidents occur as a result of handling the
machine with insufficient care, or failure to follow the
safety instructions in this manual, then the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
Please use for your sewing machine the ZHEJIANG
FOUNDER presser foot, type FC-
9001.
Protection Class: II.
The sound pressure level under normal operating
conditions is 78dB (A).
If the supply cord that fixed with foot controller is
damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service agent or a similar qualified person in
order to avoid a hazard.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted
municipal waste, use separate collection facilities.
Contact your local government for information
regarding the collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or
dumps, hazardous substances can leak into the
groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging
your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new once,
the retailer is legally obligated to take back
your old appliance for disposal at least for
free of charge.

LEVELLING THE MACHINE
If the sewing machine is not level, remove the
sewing table and adjust the levelling by turning the
foot as illustrated.
Flat face side away
from you
To determine if the needle is bad, place the flat side of
the needle on something flat (a needle plate, piece of
glass, etc.). The gap between the needle and the flat
surface should be even.
Never use a bent or broken needle. It may cause
skipped stitches or thread breakage. Bad needles can
ruin the fabric.
Always purchase good quality needles. Change needle
often.

AUTOMATIC NEEDLE THREADER
NOTE: * Needle must be in its highest position and
remove presser foot when using needle
threader.
*
Needle threader cannot be used with a twin
needle.
1. Raise the needle to its highest position.
Lower the needle threader lever as far as it will go.
2. Hook A will automatically insert itself into the
needle eye. Bring the thread around Guide B and
under Hook A.
3. Releas
e the lever and let the needle threader return
to its original position. Pull the thread loop to the
back to finish bringing the thread through the
needle eye.
Note: * Do not turn the hand wheel when using the
needle threader.
* Do not touch threader lever whilst sewing as
needle threader will be damaged. We advise
you to switch off power when using the
threader unit.

DRAWING UP BOBBIN THREAD
1. Hold the upper thread with your left hand and turn
hand wheel slowly and towards you.
2. Gently pull the upper thread, and the lower thread
will come up in a loop.
3. Pull both threads together taking them backwards
and through presser foot to the rear of machine.

ADJUSTING THREAD TENSION
In straight seams, the needle thread and the bobbin
thread should lock together in the center of the two
layers of fabric.
If you look at the top and bottom of the stitch, you will
notice that there are no gaps; each stitch is smooth
and even.
When adjusting needle thread tension, the higher the
number, the tighter the needle thread.
Here are some reasons you may change the thread
tension dial:
1. The fabric is stiff or heavy.
2. You are sewing more than two layers of fabric.
3. The stitch you are using needs the threads not to
lock together in the center of the fabric.
Tension is too tight.
The needle thread shows through on the topside of th
e
fabric and it will feel bumpy.
Turn the dial to a lower number to loosen the needle
thread tension.
Tension is too loose.
The needle thread shows through on the underside of
the fabric and it will feel bumpy.
Turn the dial to a higher number to tighten the needle
thread tension.

Decrease
BOBBIN THREAD ADJUSTMENT
1.
Through the hole provided turn the screw to left to
decrease the tension.
2. The lower thread tension has already been
adjusted, do not adjust it if it is necessary.
ADJUSTING TENSION FOR ZIGZAG
AND EMBROIDERY
The upper thread tension should be slightly weaker
when sewing a zigzag or a satin stitch. The upper
thread should appear slightly on the underside of the
fabric.

FABRIC–THREAD–NEEDLE –TABLE
Please pay attention to the following list as a guide for sewing different types of fabric.
There are many kinds of fabrics, threads and needles. It is important to use the correct ones together.
Always purchase good quality thread. It should be strong, smooth and even in thickness. Use the same thread for
needle and bobbin. Always test thread and needle size on a scrap piece of fabric.
In general, fine threads and needles are used for sewing lightweight fabrics and heavier threads and larger
needles are used for sewing heavyweight fabrics. There are many specialty needles available from your sewing
machine dealer.
A denim needle with a sharp tip is used to sew heavy fabrics such as denim and canvas. For topstitching, a special
topstitching needle with a larger eye must be used for heavier weight thread. Leather needles punch small holes in
leather and suede allowing the thread to follow through the hole. When sewing stretch, very fine or synthetic
fabrics, use a stretch needle. The stretch needle prevents skipped stitches.
Check your needles frequently for rough or blunt tips. Snags and runs in knits, fine silks and silk-like fabrics are
permanent and are often caused by damaged needles.
