4. Notes on safety  
4. Notes on safety  
Warning!  
Like any other electrical device, a  
sewing machine can cause serious,  
even life-threatening injuries. 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.

5. Setting up  
• Place the sewing machine on a  
steady worktop.  
Connect the foot switch to the  
machine  
·
Insert the power plug in a power  
´
socket.  
If the worktop is not completely even,  
you can compensate for slight uneven-  
ness as follows:  
Pull out the box compartment to the  
³
side, as shown.  
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:  
The lamp can be turned on and off  
by using the switch.  
Pulling out the foot switch plug cuts  
off power to the machine.  
Pulling out the power plug from the  
power socket cuts off power to both  
the machine and the foot switch.

7. Threading  
ƽ Warning!:  
²
Before threading, make sure that the  
sewing machine is switched off, or  
that the power plug has been pulled  
out of the power socket, as accidents  
may be caused if the machine is started  
unintentionally.  
¾
a) Threading the lower bobbin  
To fill the lower bobbin with thread:  
Pull out one of the two roll pins and  
put on a spool of thread.  
You can put a felt pad under the  
spool of thread, to protect the  
machine casing.  
Place an empty bobbin on the  
winder spindle and wind the loose  
end of the thread on, giving several  
turns anticlockwise.  
Pull out the handwheel slightly, to  
disengage the sewing mechanism  
from the motor.  
Pull the thread through the thread  
guide for the winder tension.  
µ After the first few turns of thread are  
taut on the bobbin, press the bobbin  
against the winder stopper.  
• Now switch on the sewing machine  
and step on the foot switch. When  
the bobbin is full, cut the thread.  
Press the winder spindle forward  
again and take out the full bobbin.  
µ
Do not forget to press the handwheel  
back in, otherwise the sewing mech-  
anism remains disengaged from the  
motor.

handwheel.  
With the left hand, firmly hold the end  
of the upper thread that comes  
through the eye of the needle.  
• With the right hand, give the wheel  
one complete turn anticlockwise.  
³
The upper thread now pulls the lower  
thread into a loop.  
·
• As soon as the lower thread appears,  
carefully pull the upper thread you  
are holding in your left hand. In this  
way, you can pull the lower thread  
clear.  
• Pull out the two threads by about  
10 cm.  
and lie them out as shown. The  
sewing machine is now ready to use.

e) Threading with 2 needles  
If you have inserted the twin needle, as  
described in Chapter 8:  
• Pull out both roll pins and put on  
two spools of thread.  
You can put a felt pad under the  
spool of thread, to protect the  
machine casing.  
¿
• Pass the two upper threads through,  
just as you would for a single thread,  
...  
until the threads are at the needle:  
but in this case, thread the two ends  
of the upper threads separately  
through the two needle eyes.  
• The lower thread is also passed  
through and collected in the same  
way as for the single thread.  
8. 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.  
Loosen the clamping screw and  
take out the old needle.  
Insert the new needle, with the flat  
end towards the rear. Insert it up to  
the top  
and turn the clamping screw to lock  
it in place.

b) Changing the sew foot  
First raise the needle fully, by turning  
the handwheel.  
Loosen the foot screw and take off  
the sew foot together with the foot  
holder.  
Press the lever on the foot holder.  
The sew foot can now be separated  
from the holder.  
»
Place the selected sew foot on the  
³
holder, for example the  
buttonhole foot

·
zipper foot  
and press the lever again till the sew  
foot engages in the holder.  
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.  
¿
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.

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  
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  
You can turn the screw on the  
bobbin case to set the tightness of  
the lower thread. Turn it ...  
- clockwise to increase the tension.  
- anticlockwise to reduce the ten-  
sion.  
The lower thread tension has been  
set correctly if the bobbin case  
unwinds slowly and evenly ("Drop  
test").

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.  
Open the front cover.  
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.  
First raise the needle fully, by turning  
the handwheel.  
Select a stitch width from 0...5 using  
the selector wheel (0 = narrow /  
5 = wide)  
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.  
Select a stitch length on the stitch  
length selector wheel (0 = short /  
4 = long).

10. Sewing  
If you have placed the thread and  
everything is set correctly, as described  
in the previous chapters:  
»
a) To place the material  
Raise the needle fully, by turning the  
²
handwheel.  
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  
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.  
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  
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

d) Guiding the material  
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.  
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.  
e) Changing the sewing  
direction  
You have arrived at a certain point, and  
you now want to continue sewing in a  
different direction ..  
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.

f) Selecting a stitch pattern  
To select a particular pattern,  
take the following steps:  
Select Stitch program on the pro-  
gramme selector.  
Set the stitch length.  
Select the stitch width.  
Attach the corresponding sew foot,  
as described in Chapter 8.  
Make the required settings as shown in  
the table on the right. If two values are  
set for the stitch length, these are  
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..

i) Blind hem  
Fold the material as shown. Make  
the fold as wide as you want the fin-  
ished seam to be: the bottom fold  
should be about 5 mm away.  
Use the blind hem foot. While  
sewing, check the seam width and  
needle setting, to ensure that the  
seam remains uniform.  
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.

j) Seam guide  
Use the seam guide for sewing  
longer seams or hems, which should  
have a uniform distance from the  
edge of the cloth.  
• Screw the seam guide into one of the  
threaded holes on the right of the  
stitch plate. 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.  
k) Overcast stitch  
Select this stitch when you want to  
prevent fraying on cut edges.  
l) Stretch seam  
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.

n) Sewing on buttons  
Attach the button foot  
Place the darning plate on top of  
the zigzag plate, as described in  
Chapter 8.  
Place the button between the button  
foot and the cloth, and lower the but-  
ton foot.  
Turn the flywheel anticlockwise by  
hand. Check whether the needle  
passes cleanly through both button  
holes.  
• 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.  
o) "Edge-to-edge" stitching  
Select the "Three-step zigzag stitch"  
("D") or the honeycomb stitch ("J") as  
stitch pattern.  
24

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.  
The zipper foot is also useful for sewing  
edges or parallel seams.  
Attach the zipper foot, as described  
in Chapter 8.  
• For the stitch pattern, select the  
straight stitch.  
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.  
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.

q) Sewing with the twin needle  
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.  
• 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.  
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:  
Simply pull the threads over the  
sharp blade behind the sew foot to  
cut the threads off.

11. Care  
After each use, remove any pieces of  
thread, material, and fluff. Only in this  
way will you ensure that the sewing  
machine continues to work correctly  
and lasts for a long time.  
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.  
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.  
First raise the needle fully, by turning  
the handwheel.  
Open the gripper cover  
Take out the bobbin.  
• Clean away all dirt with a brush or a  
vacuum cleaner (fitted with a brush  
attachment).  
b) Clean the feeder  
Take out the needle.  
Take out the sew foot, as described  
in Chapter 8.  
Remove the screws from the stitch  
plate and take out the stitch plate.  
You can now clean the feeder.

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.  
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.  
Allow 2 or 3 drops of oil to drip into the  
narrow slit between the gripper and  
the gripper track.  
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.
