YOU MUST WORK

IF YOU FOLLOW THESE STEPS WHEN NOT GO WRONG SO EASILY, ON HOW TO USE

NOTE :

THESE ARE NOT COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS THE MACHINE,

BUT STEPS TO TAKE CARE WITH,

THREAD THEMACHINE
1, TURN THE WHEEL TOWARDS YOU TO RAISE THE TAKE-UP LEVER AS HIGH AS IT WILL GO,

2,

PUT A SPOOL OF SEWING COTTON ON THE SPOOL PIN,

3,

THREAD THE MACHINE LIKE

TAKEOUTTHE BOBBINCASE
1, SLOWLY TURN THE WHEEL TOWARDS YOU UNTIL THE NEEDLE GO, IS AS HIGH AS IT WILL

2,

OPEN THE COVER PLATE,

3,

USE TWO FINGERS

TO PULL

THE LATCH OF THE BOBBIN CASE n PULL THE BOBBIN CASE OUT OF THE MACHINE, WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE LATCH, THE BOBBIN WILL DROP OUT,

THREAD THE BOBBINCASE

1, MAKE SURE THERE IS ENOUGH COTTON ON THE BOBBIN,

2,

HOLD THE BOBBIN CASE IN ONE HAND, USE YOUR OTHER HAND TO PUT THE

BOBBIN INTO IT, PUT Tb!!E BOBBIN IN WITH THE

LOOSE END OF CGTTON HANG1 NG DOWN IN FRONT (FACING YOU>,

3,

PULL THE THREAD INTO THE SLOT IN THE EDGE OF THE BOBBIN CASE,

4,

PULL THE THREAD UNDER THE TENSION SPRING AND

ENSION SPRING

I NT0 THE SMALL HOLE ON THE SIDE OF THE BOBBIN

CASE,

5,

PULL THE LATCH,

AND KEEP IT OPEN NOT FALL OUT,

SO THE BOBBIN WILL

PUT BACKTHE BOBBINCASE

1 n HOLD THE BOBBIN CASE BY THE LATCH a PUT IT

IN PLACE,

HOLDING

IT UP THIS WAY:

2,

LET GO OF THE LATCH, THE BOBBIN CASE IN, HEAR A SMALL CLICK, STAY IN PLACE,

AND PRESS UNTIL YOU THIS

MEANS THE BOBBIN CASE WILL

PUT IN THE NEEDLE

1, SLOWLY TURN THE WHEEL TOWARDS YOU UNTIL THE NEEDLE BAR IS AS HIGH GO, AS IT WILL

2,

LOOSEN THE NEEDLE CLAM? SCREW,

3,

HOLD THE NEEDLE WITH THE THICK TURN IT SO THE FLAT SIDE TO THE RIGHT, NOTE : ON A FEW MACHINES, SIDE TO THE BACK,

END

IS FACING

THE FLAT

TO KEEP YOUR MACHINE RUNNING WELL, BEFORE YOU START SEW1NG AGAIN o BE ESPECIALLY

CLEAN IT AND OIL AND OIL

CAREFUL TO CLEAN THE FEED DOG AND THE

SHUTTLE RACE OFTEN,

TO CLEAN THEMACHINE TO CLEAN THE MACHINE, OR ANY PARTS,

WRONG

DONOTUSEWATER,

ALL PARTS OF THE MACH1 NE AND MAKE THEM SHINY,

3,

WIPE AWAY THE KEROSENE WITH A CLEAN CLOTH,

DO NOT LET THE OIL ON THE MOVING PARTS GET DRY,

THIS OIL MAKES THE MACHINE RUN SMOOTHLY, AND STOPS IT FRCM RUSTING,

1,

OIL

THE MACHINE AT ALL THE PLACES SHOWN BY ARROWS,

OR AT ALL THE SMALL HOLES,

USE SEWING MACHINE OIL, DO NOT USE ANY OTHER KIND OF OIL,

PUT ONLY ONE OR ThO DROPS OF 01 L AT EACH HOLE, TOO MUCH OIL WILL GET ON THE SEWING,

2,

WHEN YOU HAVE PUT OIL ALL THE HOLES, THE NEEDLE, FEW MINUTES WILL PLACES IT

IMPORTANT:WHEN YOU

ARE OILING

THE MACHINE,

DO NOT LOOSCN

ANY OF THE SCREWS UNDERNEATH THE MACHINE,

TO CLEAN THEFEEDDOG
1, TAKE OFF THE NEEDLE, TAKE OFF THE THROAT PLATE,
