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.
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.

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").

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).

10. 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.

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.

f) Selecting a stitch pattern
To select a particular pattern,
take the following steps:
ᕣ
ᕡ Select Stitch program on the pro-
gramme selector.
ᕢ Set the stitch length.
ᕣ Select the stitch width.
ᕤ Attach the corresponding sew foot,
ᕡ
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
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..

i) Blind hem
ᕡ 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.
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.

ᕡ 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.

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.

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.

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:

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.
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

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

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.
