Before connecting the powersupply, make sure that the voltageand frequency shown on the ratingplate is conforming with yourmains power.

Place the machine on a stabletable.

1. Connect the power cord to themachine by inserting the 2-holeplug into the mains plug socket.

2. Connect the power line plug tothe wall outlet.

Connect the foot controller plugif you use.

3. Turn on the power switch.

4. The sewing lamp will light upwhen the switch is turned on.

5. After switching off, it will takesome time to consume theresidual power in the circuitry.The light does not turn offimmediately after switching offthe power. This is normalphenomenon for an energyefficient appliance.

Attention:

Always make sure that themachine is unplugged from powersource and the main switch is off("O"). when the machine is not inuse and before inserting orremoving parts.

Polarized plug information

Foot Control

This appliance has a polarizedplug (one blade wider than theother), to reduce the risk ofelectrical shock; this plug will fit ina polarized outlet only one way. Ifthe plug does not fit fully in theoutlet, reverse the plug. If it stilldoes not fit, contact a qualifiedelectrician to install the properoutlet. Do not modify the plug inany way.

With the sewing machine turnedoff, insert the foot control plug intoits connector on the sewingmachine.Turn on the sewing machine, andthen slowly depress the footcontrol to start sewing. Releasethe foot control to stop the sewingmachine.Even if you use foot controller,start/stop button is available.

1.Place the thread and spoolcap onto the spool pin.

For smaller spools of thread,place spool cap with thesmall side next to the spoolor use the small spool cap.

2.Snap the thread into thethread guide.

3.Wind the thread clockwisearound the bobbin windertension discs.

4.Place the thread end throughone of the inner holes in thebobbin as illustrated andplace empty bobbin on thespindle.

5.Push the bobbin to right.

6.Hold the thread tail securelyin one hand.

7.Press on the foot control orthe Start/stop button to startwinding the bobbin.

8.After the bobbin has wound afew turns stop the machineand cut the thread near thehole of the bobbin. Continuefilling the bobbin until it is full.

Once the spool is full, itrotates slowly. Release thepedal or stop the machine.Push the bobbin winderspindle to left.

9.Cut the thread and thenremove the bobbin.

Winding the bobbin

Note:

- When the bobbin winderswitch is placed on the right"bobbin winding position", thebuttons will not work. To startsewing, push the bobbinwinder switch to the left"sewing position".

- If you find the bobbin windingthe thread unevenly, you canadjust the height of the windertension disc (3) to improve it.

Insert the bobbin in the bobbincase with the thread running ina counterclockwise direction(arrow).

Inserting the bobbin

Attention:

Turn power switch to off ("O")before inserting or removing thebobbin.

When inserting or removingthe bobbin, the needle andpresser foot must be fullyraised.

Pull the thread through the slit(A).

With a finger held gently on topof the bobbin.Draw the thread at the arrowmarkings into the stitch platethread guide from (A) to (B).

Pull the thread at the arrowmarkings into the stitch platethread guide from (B) to (C).To cut off excess thread pullthread back over the cutting offblade at point (C). Close thebobbin cover plate.

Standard presser foot pressureset at "2".

The presser foot pressure ofthe machine has been pre-setand no need for change unlesssewing particular type of fabric(light-or-heavy weight).

If you do need to adjust thepresser foot pressure, turn thepresser adjusting screw byones finger.

For sewing very thin fabric,loosen the pressure by turningthe screw counterclockwise tomove the screw upward andthe pressure decreased. If keptturning the screw, it could betake out. By that time, just turnthe screw clockwise, it could belocked back and readjust thepressure.

For heavy fabric, tighten thepressure by turning the screwclockwise to move the screwdownward and the pressureincreased. Once screw couldnot be moved any further, it hasbeen reached the bottom,please do not turn any more.

Reverse stitching is used tosecure the threads at thebeginning and at the end of aseam.

Press the reverse button andsew 4-5 stitches.

Cardboard orthick fabric

Sewing on heavy fabrics

Cutting the thread

The black button on the rightside of the presser foot will lockthe presser foot in a horizontalposition if you push it in beforelowering the presser foot. Thisensures even feeding at thebeginning of a seam and helpswhen sewing multiple layers offabric such as sewing overseams when hemming jeans.

When you reach the point of anincreased thickness, lower theneedle and raise the presserfoot. Press the toe of the footand push in the black button,then lower the foot and continuesewing.

The black button releasesautomatically after sewing fewstitches.

You also can place anotherpiece of fabric with the samethickness at the back of theseam. Or support the presserfoot while feeding by hand andsewing toward the folded side.

Raise the presser foot.

Remove the fabric, draw thethreads to the left side of theface cover and cut using thethread cutter.

The threads are cut at theproper length to start the nextseam.

Changing the needle position

Changing the stitch length

These setting apply only topatterns 01-05. The pre-setposition is "3.5", center position.When you slide the stitch widthadjustment lever to the left, theneedle position will move to theleft. When you slide the stitchwidth adjustment lever to theright, the needle position willmove to the right.

To shorten the stitch length,slide the stitch lengthadjustment lever to the left. Fora longer stitch length, slide thestitch length adjustment lever tothe right.

Generally speaking, the thickerthe fabric, thread and needle,the longer the stitch should be.

Adjusting the stitch width

Adjusting the stitch length

The maximum zigzag stitchwidth for zigzag stitching is"7.0"; however, the width can bereduced on any patterns. Thewidth increases as you slide thestitch width adjustment leverfrom "0.0-7.0".

The density of zigzag stitchesincrease as the setting of stitchlength approaches "0.3".

Neat zigzag stitches are usuallyachieved at "1.0-2.5".

Closed up zigzag stitches(close together) are referred toas a satin stitch.

Use this stitch with knitted, tricotor other stretchy fabrics. Thestitch enables your seam tostretch without breaking thethread.

Good for easy to ravel and knitfabrics. It is good for joiningdurable fabric such as denims.

These stitches can also beused as a decorative top stitch.

Straight stretch stitch is used toadd triple reinforcement tostretch and hardwearing seams.
