    Some safety rules

    1. Be careful when sewing that yourfingers will not be injured by theneedle.

    2. Make sure you pull out the powercord plug whenever you want tochange needle, sewing foot,bobbin or needle plate, when youclean and oil the machine, orwhen you have to interruptsewing and leave the machine fora while.

    3. Be sure to use only a 15-wattlight bulb in the sewing lamp.

    IMPORTANTValid for United Kingdom onlyThe wires in this mains lead arecoloured in accordance with thefollowing code:Blue: NeutralBrown: LiveAs the colours of the wires in themains lead of this appliance may notcorrespond with the colouredmarking identifying the terminals inyour plug, proceed as follows: Thewire which is coloured blue must beconnected to the terminal which ismarked with the letter N or colouredblack.The wire which is coloured brownmust be connected to the terminalwhich is marked with the letter L orcoloured red.

    Please note:When a 13-ampere plug is used a3-ampere fuse has to be fitted.

  • emoving and opening the carrying caseovero lift off the carrying case cover, swingp the carrying handle (K). Then press theatch (L) and let the lid swing forwards asr as it will go (M). Lift off the carryingase cover (N). Again press the catch andld down the lid (0). The compartment

    ehind it accommodates sewing thread,ot control and power cord.

    nportant: Before you replace the carryingase cover, make sure you swing the spoololder forwards (page 2).

    Removing and opening the detachablework supportReach under the detachable worksupport (K) and swing it out toward theleft (L). Swing the lid containing the sparebobbins to the rear (M). Lift the worksupport off (N) and open its lid (0) toaccommodate accessories. To place sparebobbins in the lid, tilt it back (P).

    Spool holderSpool holder 13 can be swung to twoositions:

    = For bobbin winding and replacingthe carrying case cover.

    - = For sewing.second spool holder(is included in the

    accessories. It is pushed over the wire (N)nd onto the holder (0). The accessories:urther contain: 2 unreeling discs, P for

    small spools, and P + 0 for large spools.These are pushed on the spool pin in ironof the spool of thread.

    Electronic top speed selectorWhen slide 15 is pushed towardthe machine sews faster, when it ispushed toward , it sews slower.The piercing power of the needle remainsthe same, regardless of the machinespeed.

    Bobbin thread monitorThe red bobbin thread monitor 38 starts tcflash when the bobbin thread is runningout. The indicator light goes out when afull bobbin is inserted and sewing isresumed.Important: Free arm cover 28 must be kepclosed.

    Bobbin winder indicator light anddisengaging the sewing mechanismThe yellow indicator light 39 lights upwhen the presser bar lifter is set at theStopmatic position (K on page 5). In thisposition, the sewing mechanism isdisengaged and the hand wheel cannot beturned.

    Top feed indicator lightThe green indicator light 40 lights upwhen the top feed is engaged so that themachine sews with dual feed (page 11),

    Ii

  • esser bar litter and Stopmatic controlver 37 has four positions:= Sewing foot is raised. The Stopmatic

    control raises the needle (for needlethreading, bobbin winding andremoving the work).

    = The sewing foot is raised (for turningthe work).

    = The sewing foot is lowered forsewing.

    = The Stopmatic control raises theneedle (for basting).

    Removing bobbin case and bobbinRaise the needle, and open free arm cover28. Lift latch K and take out thebobbin. The bobbin cannot fall out as longas you keep latch K raised.

  • Winding from a second spoolRaise presser bar lifter 37 to its horizontal(K) position. The yellow indicator light 39lights up. Swing spool holder 39 forwardsand place a spool of thread on it. Push asuitable unreeling disc M on the spool pin.Place a bobbin on spindle 21 so that pin Kenters slot L. Pull the thread from thespool, pass it through guides 11 and 32,counter-clockwise around retainer stud 34,and then to the bobbin winder. Wind afew turns of thread on the bobbinclockwise. Push lever 8 against the bobbinto start the bobbin winder and hold thethread end at the beginning. The bobbin

    winder stops automatically when thebobbin is full. If you want to stop thebobbin winder earlier, pull lever 8forwards. Remove the bobbin and cut thcthread.

    Winding through the needle eye(only when a metal sewing foot is fitted)Raise presser bar lifter 37 to its horizonta(K) position. The yellow indicator light 3lights up. Draw the needle thread underthe sewing foot, to the left and up intoguide 32. Then proceed as describedfor winding a bobbin from the spool.

  • serting the bobbinsert the filled bobbin into the bobbinase so that the thread unreels toward theack (K). Then draw the thread into slot Lnd under the spring into eye M.

    Inserting the bobbin caseLift latch K and push the bobbin case ontostud M as far as it will go, making surecutout L points upwards. Release latch K.Latch K and stud M must be flush.Close free arm cover 28. It must always bekept closed during sewing so that thephoto-electronic bobbin thread monitorcan function properly.

  • Upper threadingRaise presser bar lifter 37 to its horizontal(K) position. Swing spool holder 13 back.Place a spool of thread on the holder andpush the unreeling disc on the spool pin.The accessories include two unreelingdiscs, one for small spools, the other forlarge spools. The large unreeling disc isalways used together with the small one.Pull the thread from the spool and draw itinto thread guide 11, slot K, thread guide31, take-up lever 7, thread guide 30 andthe right guide of needle holder 16.

    Note on twin needlesFor two-needle sewing jobs attach thesecond spool holder for the second spoolof thread (page 2).Both threads are passed through thethread guides together. However in slot Kone thread is placed above disc L, theother below it, and at needle holder 16,one thread is pulled through the rightguide, the other through the left.Twin needles are threaded by hand.

  • Threading the needleaise the presser bar lifter to theorizontaI (Stopmatic) position. Place theieedle thread under hook K of needlehreader 4. Push needle threader control 5lown as far as it will go. Then place theieedle thread under hook L of the needlehreader. At the same time releaseontrol 5 and the thread. The thread isiow pulled through the needle eye in aoop. Then pull the thread through theieedle eye completely.

    Drawing up the bobbin threadHold the needle thread a little taut. Pushpresser bar lifter 37 down to position L(page 5) and then up again. As you do so,the needle moves down and up again anddraws up the bobbin thread. Pull thebobbin thread out of the needle hole andlay both threads toward the left and backunder the sewing foot.

  • Jpper tension (6)= Setting mark. The normal tension

    setting is in the light-coloured rangebetween 3 and 5. The higher thenumber, the tighter the tension.

    ower tension= Regulating screw.

    Turn it left for a looser tension,or right for a tighter tension.

    1 = Both tensions are correct.= Upper tension too loose or lower

    tension too tight.= Lower tension too loose or upper

    tension too tight.

    The correct lower tensionLet the bobbin case with a full bobbinhang down freely by the thread. It mustnot slide down by its own weight, butshould gradually move downwards whenyou jerk your hand upwards lightly.Once the lower tension has been setcorrectly, adjust the upper tension only.
