Upper tension 112

N = Setting mark. The normal tension setting is in the white range between 3 and 5. The higher the number, the tighter the tension.

Lower tension

O = Regulating screw. Turn it left for a looser tension, or right for a tighter tension.
P = Both tensions are correct.
Q = Upper tension too loose or lower tension too tight.
R = Lower tension too loose or upper tension too tight.

The correct lower tension

Let the bobbin case with a full bobbin hang down freely by the thread. It must not slide down by its own weight, but should gradually move downwards when you jerk your hand upwards lightly.

Once the lower tension has been set correctly, only the upper thread tension should be adjusted.

Trouble shooting

Cause:

1. Machine skips stitches

Needle not inserted correctly.

Wrong needle used.

Machine threaded improperly.

Needle too thin for thread used.

2. Needle thread breaks

For any of above reasons.

Thread tension too strong.

Poor-quality or knotty thread used, or thread that has become too dry by excessive storage.

3. Needle breaks

Needle not pushed up as far as it will go.

Needle bent.

Needle too thin or too thick.

Needle bent and strikes needle plate because work is pushed or pulled.

Bobbin case improperly inserted.

Remedy:

Push needle up as far as it will go, its flat shank side facing toward the back. Insert system 130/705 H' needle.

Insert new needle.

Check threading.

Select needle according to Needle and Thread Chart.

See par. 1 above.

Regulate thread tensions.

Used only good-quality thread.

Insert new needle and push it up as far as it will go.

Only guide the material lightly.

When inserting the bobbin case, push it in as far as it will go.

Cause:

Remedy:

4. Seam is not uniform

Tension out of adjustment.

Check upper and lower tensions.

Thread too thick, knotty or hard.

Use first-class thread only.

Bobbin thread wound unevenly.

During bobbin winding, do not hold thread in hand, but pass it through the bobbin tension stud.

Kinks appear on top and bottom of material.

Thread machine properly and check both tensions.

5. Machine feeds irregularly or not at all

Lint has accumulated between tooth rows of feed dog.

Remove needle plate and clean out lint.

Feed dog dropped. (Drop-feed control is at right.)

Flick drop-feed control to the left.

6. Machine runs with difficulty

Thread ends in hook raceway.

Remove thread ends and put a drop of oil into hook raceway.

7. Fundamental rules

Never run a threaded machine unless there is a piece of fabric under the sewing foot. If you have to leave the machine, even for a short while, be sure to switch off the master switch. This is particularly important when children are around.
