To avoid   this, and in order to work safely:   Possible injury and material damage:   As a user of electrical appliances,   you are legally required to prevent   possible accidents by taking the   appropriate safety measures:   • Always pull out the power plug   when you are not at the machine.   This will prevent the risk of accidents   if the machine is switched on acci-   dentally.   • Keep your work space tidy. An   untidy workplace can lead to acci-   dents.   • Pull out the power plug before   replacing the bulb, or when carry-   ing out maintenance work on the   machine.   • Provide adequate lighting when   working!   This will prevent possibly life-threat-   ening electric shocks.   • Do not wear loose clothing or jew-   ellery, as these can be caught in the   moving parts. For the same reason,   you should also wear a hair net if   you have long hair.   • Only use the sewing machine in   dry rooms.   • Avoid adopting any unusual pos-   ture. Remain steady and in a well-   balanced position at all times.   • If damage is visible on the sewing   machine, or the foot switch, or the   power cord: Have the damage   repaired by Customer Service, before   using the sewing machine again.   • 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!   • Do not allow children or elderly   persons to handle the machine   unsupervised – these are not always   able to recognize potential dangers.   Keep electrically powered tools out   of the reach of children.   If accidents occur as a result of han-   dling the machine with insufficient care,   or failure to follow the safety instruc-   tions in this manual, then the manufac-   turer cannot accept liability.   4 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Setting up   • Place the sewing machine on a   steady worktop.   ᕡ Connect the foot switch ậ to the   machine   · ᕢ Insert the power plug in a power   ´ socket.   If the worktop is not completely even,   you can compensate for slight uneven-   ness as follows:   ᕣ Pull out the box compartment to the   ³ side, as shown.   ậ ᕤ The adjusting foot should now be   visible underneath. This can be   adjusted by turning in either direc-   tion, to ensure that the sewing   machine is steady.   The box compartment can now be sim-   ply pushed back – for example if you   need it as an 'extension flap' for sewing   larger areas of material.   However, you can also leave the   compartment box detached, for exam-   ple forfree-arm sewing on sleeves,   trouser legs, etc.   » 6. Switching On / Off   You should familiarize yourself with   these methods of switching on and off,   so that you can take the correct action   in the event of an emergency:   ᕥ The lamp can be turned on and off   by using the switch.   ᕡ Pulling out the foot switch plug cuts   off power to the machine.   ᕢ Pulling out the power plug from the   power socket cuts off power to both   the machine and the foot switch.   ¿ 5 Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Attaching accessories   ƽ Warning!:   First pull the power plug out of the   power socket! This will prevent the   machine from being started unintention-   ally while you are working.   ´ ² a) Changing needles   First raise the needle fully, by turning   the handwheel.   ᕥ Loosen the clamping screw and   take out the old needle.   ᕦ Insert the new needle, with the flat   end towards the rear. Insert it up to   the top   ᕥ and turn the clamping screw to lock   it in place.   12   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   b) Changing the sew foot   First raise the needle fully, by turning   the handwheel.   ᕡ Loosen the foot screw and take off   the sew foot together with the foot   holder.   ᕢ Press the lever on the foot holder.   The sew foot can now be separated   from the holder.   » ᕣ Place the selected sew foot on the   ³ holder, for example the   ả buttonhole foot   Ạ blind hem foot   Ấ button foot   · Ả zipper foot   ᕢ and press the lever again till the sew   foot engages in the holder.   ᕡ Place the sew foot and holder back   on the guide rod and tighten the foot   screw again.   c) Changing the stitch plate   The zigzag stitch plate is mounted on   the machine at the factory, and can be   used for most straight stitches, zigzag   stitch work, and decorative stitches.   However, if you wish to use the darning   plate supplied:   First raise the needle fully, by turning   the handwheel.   ¿ ᕤ Simply lay the darning plate on top   of the zigzag plate, so that the flat   guide pins are inserted in the slots in   the zigzag plate.   • If you no longer need the darning   plate, simply take it off again.   13   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   9. Settings   The tension in the upper and lower   thread has been set correctly if no   twining of the thread is visible on the   top or on the underside of the material   after sewing.   ³ If the tension on only one of the threads   is set incorrectly, the resulting seam   will be untidy. The stitches lie flat on the   material, seams are not formed and the   material is not drawn through.   a) Setting the upper thread   tension   ᕡ You can use the thumbwheel for the   upper thread tension to set the   tightness of the upper thread. If this   thread is ...   - too tight (higher setting), then the   upper thread is loose and the mate-   rial is being 'sewed' with the lower   thread only.   - too loose (lower setting), then the   lower thread is loose and the mate-   rial is being 'sewed' with the upper   thread only.   » The upper thread tension is normally   set between 4 and 6.   b) Setting the lower thread   tension   ᕢ You can turn the screw on the   bobbin case to set the tightness of   the lower thread. Turn it ...   ᕢ - clockwise to increase the tension.   - anticlockwise to reduce the ten-   sion.   ᕣ The lower thread tension has been   set correctly if the bobbin case   unwinds slowly and evenly ("Drop   test").   14   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   c) Setting the presser foot   pressure   · ³ Here you can set the pressure with   which the material is pressed onto the   stitch plate.   • Using the little screwdriver supplied,   loosen the screw at the top of the   front cover.   ᕡ Open the front cover.   ᕢ Now use the lever to set the presser   foot pressure, for example   "0" if no pressure is to be applied,   for example for darning with free-   hand stitches   "1" for light fabrics (curtains)   "2" for average fabrics (normal)   "3" for heavy fabrics.   ¿ d) Stitch width   Here you can set the width of seam for   zigzag patterns.   ᕣ ᕣ First raise the needle fully, by turning   the handwheel.   ᕤ Select a stitch width from 0...5 using   the selector wheel (0 = narrow /   5 = wide)   ᕥ Important: If the twin needle has been   inserted, the selector wheel should be   set to "3" maximum. If a higher setting   is selected, the twin needle will break!   e) Stitch length   Here you can set the speed at which   the material is carried forward when   sewing. This therefore determines the   gap (length) between the stitch points.   ᕥ Select a stitch length on the stitch   length selector wheel (0 = short /   4 = long).   15   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Sewing   If you have placed the thread and   everything is set correctly, as described   in the previous chapters:   » a) To place the material   ᕣ Raise the needle fully, by turning the   ² handwheel.   ᕦ Raise the sew foot using the foot   pedal.   • Place the material under the sew foot   and lower the sew foot again.   b)   To start a seam   ᕧ With the left hand, firmly hold the two   ends of the threads laid out towards   the rear.   • Now press very carefully on the foot   switch – just enough to complete the   first 3 or 4 stitches. While doing this,   guide the material with the right   hand.   ᕧ ᕨ When the first stitches have been   successfully completed, briefly press   and hold the the reverse lever ...   • and, in the same way, step on the   foot switch – until you have returned   to the starting point. When you now   want to continue with the seam from   that point, it is held firmly by several   overstitches.   c) To finish off a seam   ᕨ Sew back and forth at the end of the   seam using the reverse lever, as at the   start of the seam. The end of the seam   is now also held firmly.   16   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   d) Guiding the material   ᕡ Guide normal materials only as   shown in the illustration. Avoid   pulling it, as this can cause the nee-   dle to bend or break.   • Very fine materials are drawn in   slightly when sewing. To prevent this,   simply lay a thin sheet of paper under   the material and sew with the paper   in place. When you have finished   sewing, carefully pull the paper away   from the material; the result is a very   clean stitch.   ᕢ With stretch fabrics it may be nec-   essary to guide the material towards   and away from the sew foot, to pre-   vent the fabric from being drawn in.   ᕡ ᕢ ᕣ e) Changing the sewing   direction   You have arrived at a certain point, and   you now want to continue sewing in a   different direction ..   ᕣ You can do this very easily by stop-   ping at the desired point and leaving   the needle in the material.   • Raise the sew foot using the foot   pedal.   • Turn the material around the needle   in the desired direction   • Lower the sew foot.   You can now continue sewing in the   usual way in the new direction.   17   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

If two values are   set for the stitch length, these are   ᕢ understood as "from ... to ..." values.   g) Straight stitch   This is the most frequently used type of   stitch. The zigzag sew foot is used for   both straight and zigzag stitches. A   smaller size of stitch should be selected   for sewing finer materials.   h) Zigzag   The zigzag stitch is universal. The satin   stitch pattern consists of short stitches   set closely to each other, and is suitable   for sewing initials, figures, appliqué,   etc..   ᕤ 18   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Make   the fold as wide as you want the fin-   ished seam to be: the bottom fold   should be about 5 mm away.   ᕢ Use the blind hem foot. While   sewing, check the seam width and   needle setting, to ensure that the   seam remains uniform.   ᕡ ᕢ ᕣ ᕣ Sew the blind seam on the underside   of the material, so that only the peak   of the zigzag stitch pierces the out-   side of the material. When you have   finished sewing, push the left of the   material over to the right and smooth   out. The seam is almost invisible!   The table below shows the suggested   settings for the various values, depend-   ing on the material used.   20   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Set the desired seam   width, then tighten the knurled screw.   • The edge of the cloth must touch the   seam guide while sewing. The seam   guide can also be screwed in   obliquely for sewing corners.   ᕡ k) Overcast stitch   ᕢ Select this stitch when you want to   prevent fraying on cut edges.   ᕢ l) Stretch seam   ᕣ Select this stitch for cord, tricot and   other stretch fabrics. This type of   seam can be stretched without the   thread breaking. The stretch seam   stitch produces a highly strain-resist-   ant, straight seam.   ᕣ 22   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Check whether the needle   passes cleanly through both button   holes.   ᕢ • If necessary, slightly adjust the stitch   width of the zigzag pattern.   • If the sewing machine can sew both   buttonholes in manual mode, you can   now carefully sew 5-7 stitches with   the machine by carefully pressing the   foot switch.   ᕣ o) "Edge-to-edge" stitching   ᕤ Select the "Three-step zigzag stitch"   ("D") or the honeycomb stitch ("J") as   stitch pattern.   ᕤ 24   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   p) Sewing a zipper   Using the zipper foot, you can sew   closely along the edges of the zipper,   without damaging either the zipper or   the needle.   ᕡ The zipper foot is also useful for sewing   edges or parallel seams.   ᕡ Attach the zipper foot, as described   in Chapter 8.   • For the stitch pattern, select the   straight stitch.   ᕢ Fold over about 2 cm of cloth and   place the zipper under the fold so   that the edges of the zip only just   stand out. It might be helpful to stitch   in the zipper first.   ᕢ ᕣ Sew as closely as possible along the   edges of the zipper.   - To sew the left side of the zipper,   the zipper foot must be placed to   the left of the needle.   - To sew the right side of the zipper,   the zipper foot must be placed to   the right of the needle.   ᕣ 25   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   q) Sewing with the twin needle   ᕡ Insert the new needle, with the flat   end towards the rear.   • Pass the thread in, as for normal   sewing. The two threads are passed   together through the thread guides –   as far as the twin needle.   ᕡ • It is here that the two upper threads   are threaded separately.   • Make sure that the stitch width set-   ting is no larger than "3" – otherwise   the needle will break.   r) Embroidery   • Take off the sew foot   Place the darning plate on top of the   zigzag plate, as described in Chapter 8.   ᕢ Embroidery can only be done free-   hand. The material should be   clamped in the tambour and moved   around the motif as required, while   you control the speed of the needle   movements with the foot switch.   s) Thread cutter   When you have completed a seam, or if   you wish to cut the threads for any other   reason:   ᕢ ᕣ Simply pull the threads over the   sharp blade behind the sew foot to   cut the threads off.   ᕣ 26   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Only in this   way will you ensure that the sewing   machine continues to work correctly   and lasts for a long time.   ᕡ ƽ Warning!:   Before carrying out any maintenance   work on the sewing machine, first pull   the plug out of the power socket. This   will prevent the risk of accidents due to   the machine being started unintention-   ally.   ᕢ a) Clean the gripper area   ƽ Important!   Never disassemble any of the mechani-   cal parts at the gripper. Extensive expe-   rience with mechanical devices is   required in order to reassemble these.   Only Customer Service has the special   equipment necessary for disassembling   the gripper mechanisms. It should be   enough for the user just to clean this   area with a brush or vacuum cleaner.   ᕣ ᕤ ᕡ First raise the needle fully, by turning   the handwheel.   ᕢ Open the gripper cover   ᕣ Take out the bobbin.   ᕥ • Clean away all dirt with a brush or a   vacuum cleaner (fitted with a brush   attachment).   b) Clean the feeder   ᕤ Take out the needle.   ᕥ Take out the sew foot, as described   in Chapter 8.   ᕦ Remove the screws from the stitch   plate and take out the stitch plate.   You can now clean the feeder.   ᕦ 27   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   c) Clean the casing   e) What else needs oiling?   Nothing - no other working parts require   lubrication. You should not lubricate   anything unless it is necessary, as oiled   parts attract dust and may then become   stuck.   ƽ Danger!:   Never open any parts of the machine cas-   ing other than those described in this   manual. There are no operating elements   inside. Otherwise there is a risk of injury   and potentially life-threatening acci-   dents.   f) Storing   Keep the sewing machine ...   • Clean all the plastic surfaces with a soft   dry cloth.   - in a dry place, to protect the metal   • Do not use cleaning agents or abrasive   materials, which can scratch the cas-   ing.   components from rust,   - inside the wrapping supplied, to pre-   vent dust from penetrating into the   sewing machine,   • Do not, in any circumstances,   immerse any machine components   in water or other fluids! This can dam-   age the components   - out of the reach of young children or   elderly persons, so that they are not   exposed to risk if handling the   machine unsupervised.   ᕧ ᕨ d) Oil the gripper track   ƽ Important!   Apply the oil very sparingly. Excessive oil   on the working parts can soil the thread,   and your fabrics.   ᕧ Allow 2 or 3 drops of oil to drip into the   narrow slit between the gripper and   the gripper track.   ᕨ Then give the gripper several complete   turns by hand. This will distribute the   oil.   Just a little oil applied in this way, once or   twice per year, is sufficient. The main pur-   pose is to prevent rust from forming, if the   machine is left unused for long periods.   28   Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.   12.
