Safety instructions  
Like any other electrical device, a sewing machine  
can cause serious, even life-threatening injuries.  
To avoid these, and to work safely:  
Warning about injuries and  
material damages:  
• Keep your work space tidy. An untidy workplace  
can lead to accidents.  
• Always disconnect the power supply when leaving  
the machine unattended. This will prevent the  
risk of accidents if the machine is switched on  
accidentally.  
• Provide adequate lighting when working!  
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these  
can be caught in moving parts. You should also  
wear a hair net if you have long hair.  
• First pull the power plug before changing the bulb  
or performing maintenance work on the machine.  
This will prevent possibly life-threatening electric  
shocks.  
• Do not pull the plug out of the wall socket by the  
lead. When pulling out the plug, always hold the  
plug, not the lead.  
• Avoid adopting an unusual posture. Remain steady  
and in a well-balanced position at all times.  
• If accidents occur as a result of handling the ma-  
chine with insufficient care, or failure to follow  
the safety instructions in this manual, then the  
manufacturer cannot accept liability.  
• Never cover the ventilation slots! Risk of over-  
heating!  
• Only use the sewing machine in dry rooms.

Overview of the machine adjustments  
The most appropriate thread tension adjustment for one type of material is not necessarily the ideal adjust-  
ment for a different material.  
The thread tensions required are dictated by the pliability and thickness of the material as well as the type  
and thickness of the thread.  
When necessary, adjust thread tensions as per this table:

Changing threads  
(binding together)  
Setting the stitch length  
The stitch length can be adjusted in nine steps, from  
1.0 to 5.0 mm. Almost all overlock work is  
carried out with a stitch length of 2.5 – 3.5 mm.  
Turn on the inner adjustment wheel for stitch length  
z to adjust the stitch length:  
With the following procedure, changing threads is  
quite simple:  
1. Cut the yarn above the spindle and knot the  
ends of the new and the old thread together.  
2. Place the thread tension selector 2/q/w/e  
at "0" and lift the sewing foot o.  
3. Pull on the other end of the yarn until the knot  
passes under the sewing foot o.  
4. For threading it in the needle, pull on the other  
end until the knot is in the eye of the needle and  
then cut the yarn to the left and right of the knot.  
Then carry out the rethreading.

Setting the cutting width  
Exchanging needles  
The appropriate cutting width is, from material to  
material, variable. Each time test the seams and  
adjust the cutting width as follows:  
1. Turn the handwheel 6 towards yourself until the  
needles are in the lowest position.  
Attention!  
Before exchanging the needles, remove the power  
plug. This prevents an unintended starting of the ma-  
chine. If you do not, you run a risk of serious injury!  
2. Open the front flap 8.  
3. Press the lever PUSH f. The free arm 0 lowers  
itself and the adjustment wheel for the cutting  
width i can be seen.  
4. Turn the djustment wheel for the cutting width i.  
With this you move the lower blade p. Continue  
turning it until the looper threads are lying at the  
edge of the material. When you turn in the direc-  
tion W (wide), the cutting width is broader.  
When you turn in the direction N (narrow), the  
cutting width is narrower.  
1. Turn the handwheel 6 towards yourself until the  
needles are in the highest position.  
2. Open the front flap 8 and lower the sewing  
foot o.  
3. Loosen the setscrew against the needle with the  
Allen key from the accessories box and then re-  
move the needle:  
- upper left setscrew for the left needle  
- lower right setscrew for the right needle.  
4. Insert the new needle, with the flat side to the  
rear, into the needle mounting. Ensure that the  
needle is inserted as far as is possible. Secure  
the needle by retightening its setscrew.  
Examples:  
Select a narrower cutting width if the material edges  
ruffle during sewing. For this, turn the adjustment  
wheel for cutting width i to the right (N).  
When the needles have been correctly fitted, the  
left needle stands a little higher than the right needle.  
If the needles have not been correctly inserted, stitches  
will occasionally be left out when sewing.  
This machine is equipped with needles of the type  
H.Ax1 (Needle system 130H) (for household ma-  
chines).  
Select a larger cutting width if the yarn is being sewed  
beyond the material edge. For this, turn the adjust-  
ment wheel for cutting width i to the left (W).

15 W.  
5. Reassemble all of the parts in reverse order.  
3. Insert a new upper blade a and lightly tighten  
the screw on the blade holder.  
4. Adjust the upper blade a to that its cutting edge  
surmounts the cutting edge of the lower blade p  
by about 0.5-1.0 mm.  
5. Now firmly tighten the setscrew in the holder for  
the upper blade a and close the front flap 8.  
Exchanging the upper blade  
Attention!  
Before changing the blade a, ALWAYS remove the  
plug j from the mains power socket. This prevents  
an unintended starting of the machine. If you do  
not, you run a risk of serious injury!

Close and broad sewing with  
three threads  
Sewing freehanded  
Freehand operation is excellently suited for the  
sewing of trouser legs, sleeves and cuffs etc.  
When sewing with this machine you can adjust from  
four to three threads.  
Remove either the left or the right needle (see section  
"Exchanging needles") and the appropriate thread.  
The machine is now ready for sewing with three  
threads.  
Remove the arm support 9, as shown in the illustra-  
tion, to change from flatbed to free arm operation.  
With exclusive use of the right needle, the stitching  
length amounts to 4 mm (0.16“).  
With exclusive use of the left needle, the stitching  
length amounts to 6 mm (0.24“).  
Adjusting the sewing foot  
The special sewing foot o is adjusted to the posi-  
tion N on the countersunk screw at the front of the  
sewing foot o for normal sewing operations.  
Should you wish to sew a hemstitch, simply loosen  
the large screw lightly and slide the small pin, which  
protudes from the foot to the left, all the way in.  
Now the letter R stands on the screw.

Important: If necessary, adjust the stitching length  
and cutting width.  
Differential feed motion  
With the differential feed motion uneven seams are  
avoided in knitted materials, as well as the slippage  
of textile positions. Additionally, the seams cause no  
wrinkles in very light materials.  
Hem stitching  
Manner of operation  
The machine has two sets of toothed rack feeders,  
one to the front and one to the rear. Both sets move  
independant of each other. Through the differential  
feed motion both toothed rack sets can move them-  
selves at various speeds.  
The toothed transport racks move themselves in an  
elliptical motion and thus transport the material:  
Edging  
rear  
front  
Setting the differential feed motion  
The differential feed motion is adjusted to the de-  
sired direction simply by turning the adjustment  
wheel for the differential feed motion u.  
"N" = "Neutral Position", the toothed rack feeders  
move the material forward evenly.  
"G" ="Gather Position", the front toothed rack feeders  
push the material forward faster than the rear  
ones. Thereby, elasticated material is not ex-  
tended.  
"S" ="Stretch Position", the rear toothed rack feeders  
push the material forward faster than the front  
ones. Thereby, the front toothed rack feeders  
hold the material tautly.  
The differential feed motion can also be adjusted  
during sewing.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.co- m18. A- ll Manuals Search And Download.  
Uneven material edges and smoothness  
To obtain precise flat edges when sewing elasticated  
materials, the front toothed rack feeders must push  
forward faster than the rear ones, so that the material  
is not stretched. For smoothness the front toothed  
rack feeders must also work faster than the rear  
ones. With a larger stitching length the material  
stays easily smooth. Place the differential feed  
motion at "G".  
Avoid ruffles by stretching  
To avoid seams casting wrinkles in very light materials  
or fine nylons, the rear toothed rack feeders must  
work faster than the front ones. Thereby the front  
toothed rack feeders hold the material taut so that  
it does not ruffle. Place the differential feed motion  
at "S".
