and your wall outlet (2) as illustrated (A). and your wall outlet (2) as illustrated (B).
Connect the foot control plug into the machine socket (3).

A Always disconnect the machine from power supply by removing the plug from the wall-outlet.

POWER/LIGHT SWITCH
Your machine will not operate until the power/light switch
is turned on. The same switch controls both the power
and the light. Power/light switch “OFF" Power/light switch “ON"

SEWING SPEED UMITER CONTROL

STARTING/STOPPING the MACHINE
When using only the power line cord, when the start/stop switch is pushed,
the machine starts slowly, and when the switch is pushed once more, the
needle moves and stops at its highest position.
When using foot control, simply press your foot on pedal until you reach a
slow even speed. Never try to sew too fast. The harder you push, the faster
the machine will sew. Release pressure on foot pedal to stop the machine.
NOTE: When foot control is connected, start/stop switch cannot be used.
NEEDLE UP/DOWN SWITCH
When the needle up/down switch is pushed, the needle moves and stops at
its lowest position. If the switch is pushed once more, the needle moves and
stops at its highest position. These operations can be repeated in order to
sew basting stitches.
The top sewing speed is set by using the sewing
speed control in conjunction with the foot control.
The sewing speed control is moved horizontally to
determine the zone of speed required.
Regardless of the setting, the maximum speed may
be limited for selected patterns.
NOTE: When using the foot control, on the low
setting the machine will not sew faster than
a certain speed, even when the foot control
is fully depressed.

REVERSE STITCH SWITCH

Reverse sewing is carried out while the reverse stitch switch is pushed (only
for normal sewing). (The stitch length will be about 2 mm.)
NOTE: If the power cord is disconnected from the wall outlet during sewing,
or if the sewing machine stops due to a power outage, the sewing
machine will not operate immediately even when the power is restored,
To start the sewing machine again, turn the power switch to OFF and
then back to ON again, and then start the machine.

LED INDICATOR
Red light indicates that the machine is in operation.
Green light indicates that the machine is ready to start.
Flashing red light will be indicated if error should occur
or the machine becomes out of order. Flashing only for 2
- 3 seconds shows that an incorrect operation is
made.Continuous flashing indicates that the machine
malfunctions.
 SPOOL

Place a felt disc on spool pin to control spool movement. Place a spool of thread on the pin, and secure with a suitable size spool cap,
to ensure smooth flow of thread. Be careful not to push the spool cap too tight as the spool must turn.

Auxiliary spool pins

Some size and style spools of thread do not deliver thread smoothly with horizontal spool pin and spool cap. In this case use vertical
auxiliary spool pin (A). It may not be possible to obtain good thread tension with some spools, so if problems with thread tension occur,
use spool pin (B).

Attach the spool pin (A) and place a felt disc over it. Place a Attach the spool pin (B) and place a spool of thread on the pin, and
spool of thread on the spool pin as illustrated. secure with a suitable size spool cap as illustrated. With this spool pin
the cap should be installed tightly.

NOTE:
1. Use the spool cap closest to the thread spool size to ensure smooth operation.
2. Auxiliary spool pins are not designed for twin needle sewing.
3. Depending on the size and conditions of spools of thread and spool pins, top cover cannot be
closed.
 PRESSER FOOT LIFTER'^<' / '"-y’ , '*^ ^

There are three positions for your presser foot.

1. Lower the presser foot to sew.

2. Raise the lifter to the middle position to insert or remove fabric.

3. Lift it to its highest position to change the presser foot or to

remove thick fabric.
 y CONVERTING TO FREE-ARM SEWING ■ >>\
»«•■• 'ii'Syv. 'S»

Your machine can be used either as a flat- bed or as a free-arm

model.
With the extension table in position, it provides a large working
surface as a standard flat-bed model.
To remove the extension table, hold it firmly with both hands and
pull it off to the left as shown. To replace, slide the extension
table back into place until it clicks.
With the extension table removed the machine converts into a
slim free-arm model for children’s clothes, cuffs, trouser legs,
and other awkward places.

SAFETY DEVICE
This sewing machine is equipped with a safety device which
senses if the thread gets tangled up with the hook during
sewing, and automatically interrupts the flow of current within
3 seconds to stop the motor from operating when such a
problem occurs.
If this safety device has operated, turn off the power for the
sewing machine and eliminate the cause of the problem that
caused the sewing machine to stop.
Then, turn the hand wheel toward you to check that the sewing
machine works normally again, and then re-start the machine.

5. Push the needle up as far as it can go.

6. Tighten the needle clamp screw firmly with the screw driver.
 ADJUSTING TOP,THREAD TENSION

Straight stitching, the good looking appearance of your stitching

is largely determined by the balanced tension of both top and
bobbin threads. The tension is well balanced when these two
threads ‘lock’ in the middle of layers of fabric you are sewing.
If, when you start to sew, you find that the stitching is irregular,
Well balanced you will need to adjust the tension control.

Make any adjustments with presser foot ‘down’.

Some commercially-available sewing machine

threads are wound onto heavy spools.
When using spools such as this, the thread tension
will tend to become tighter, so you may need to
loosen the thread tension.

You can use other stitches in the same way.

* You should carry out a test sewing on a cut-off strip of the

fabric being sewn to check the pattern to be used.

* Before starting to sew, check that there is enough thread

wound onto the bobbin to make sure that the thread will not
run out during sewing.

* Slightly loosen top thread tension.

can also be used as a triangular backtack stitch for
reinforcing places which can easily unravel. This is
particularly useful for sewing both edges of pockets.

collars of ladies’ and children’s clothes, and also for
tidying up edges.
When using this stitch pattern for tidying up edges, first
sew the stitch and then trim the edge of the fabric along
the edge of the stitch. Be careful not to cut the stitch
seam at this time.
