-In order to start the machine you need to connect the adaptor provided. Please unwrap the adaptor and connect one end to the mains electricity supply and the other end to the sewing machine as indicated in Figure 1. The pilot light will then light up indicating that the machine is connected to the mains electricity supply. -The pedal should then be connected to the machine. Please see Figure 1, and then you can begin to sew by pressing down on the same. -The sewing machine is supplied with the needle already threaded and a small piece of cloth. -When you wish to begin sewing the following steps should be taken: 1.Lift up the presser foot using the lever ( nº8) 2.Lift the needle up manually to its highest point. To do this turn the manual wheel (nº 11) in the direction indicated by the arrows (clockwise). 3.Pull the piece of cloth to one side and cut the threads taking them to the rear side of the sewing machine. 4.Put the piece of cloth you wish to sew underneath the presser foot ( nº 18) 5.Lower the presser foot with the lever ( nº 8) 6.Choose the stitch you wish to use by turning the stitch dial (nº 10) 7.Finally press down the pedal for the machine to begin to sew. -Please check that the needles are not bent. To do this pick up the needle and place the same on a flat surface with the flat side down. If the distance between the needle and the flat surface is uniform, this means that the needle is straight and can be used. If the needle is bent it should not be used.

HOW TO REMOVE THE PRESSER FOOT

-The adjustment screw (nº 5) should be used to remove the presser foot, and lift up the presser foot as high as possible. -Turn the screw anti-clockwise to remove the presser foot from the machine and it will come off. To put it in place put the flat surface facing inwards and turn the screw (nº5) clockwise to fix down the presser foot. HOW TO TAKE OUT THE ExTRACTABLE ARM -This machine is provided with an extractable arm. By using the arm this makes the sewing of sleeves, waistbands and trouser-legs easier, and additionally prevents the cloth from piling up around the needle. E-27 fig.1HOW TO THREAD THE UPPER THREAD -Before any threading operation please ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains electricity supply. -To start to thread the upper thread please take the following steps: 1.Lift up the presser foot by means of the lever (nº 8) 2.Lift the needle up manually to its highest point. To do this turn the manual wheel (nº 11) in the direction indicated by the arrows (clockwise). 3.Put in place the bobbin that you wish to use in the bobbin slot (nº 14). If you wish to use larger bobbins pull up the bobbing slot and this will enlarge in order to hold larger bobbins. 4.One the bobbin is in place, pull on the end of the thread and thread it through guide 1 (nº1). 5.Thread the thread through as indicated by the arrows. Firstly under the right hand side of the tension disc (nº 21) and when reaching the rim lift the thread up through the left hand side of the tension disc (nº 21) until reaching the shuttle lever (nº 2) and hook up the thread to the same. 6.Then thread downwards until reaching guide 2 ( nº 4) 7.Finally thread the needle. The needle threader can be used for this purpose and the needle must always be threaded from front to back. Please see the illustration for threading the needle. HOW TO CHANGE THE LOWER THREAD BOBBIN -The thread bobbin is located inside the lower spool, and at the same time this is to be found underneath the needle. To access the same the following steps should be taken: 1.Slide forwards the lower arm of the machine towards the left and you will find a little compartment. 2.Open the compartment by using the side rim and pull it towards you. One the compartment is open you will see the spool. 3.Pull the spool towards you by means of the central rim, pick up the bobbin that you wish to use, and then put it on the inside of the spool holding one end of the thread with your hand. 4.Then thread through the notch until it comes through the lower slot of the spool. 5.Once the bobbin is in place in the spool and with the thread correctly threaded as indicated in the previous section, place the spool with the bobbin inside the com- partment. There is only once way to place it, and this is with the outlet facing upwards. 28-E E-29HOW TO LIFT UP THE LOWER THREAD -This sewing machine lifts up the thread manually, and this is very easily done by taking the following steps: 1.Hold the upper thread with your left hand 2.Using your right hand turn the manual wheel (nº 11) in the direction indicated by the arrows (clockwise) for the needle to make a complete cycle (go down/go up completely) and when the needle is in the lower position it will take up the lower thread and lift it up to the highest position. 3.Once the needle is in its highest position take hold of the lower thread in your hand and pull both threads (upper and lower) towards the back part of the machi- ne. 4.The sewing machine is now ready to start sewing again.

HOW TO ADJUST THE THREAD TENSION

-If you see that when you are sewing the seams are not tight and the thread knots up frequently, this means that the thread tension must be checked. -For proper sewing the tension of both the upper and the lower thread must be the same, and there is a dial provided for this purpose (nº 3) to adjust the upper tension more or less as required and also to adjust the tension of the lower thread. The lower spool has a screw to adjust the thread tension. Please see the illustration. -The thread tension depends on a series of circumstances, on the type of needle, on the type of cloth, on the type of stitch and consequently in order to check the correct thread tension trial stitching must be made and an adjustment made in accordance with the result. -To know whether the tension is correct, the seam must be like in the following illus- tration a. Examples of incorrect thread tension

• Upper thread tension too high (or lower thread too low), image b.

• Upper thread tension too low ( or lower thread too high), image c

HOW TO LOAD AN EMPTY SPOOL

-When the lower spool no longer has any thread left, you have an automatic option to load it by taking the following steps: 1.Pick up the empty spool and put it on the spool spindle (nº 20) 2.Take hold of the end of the upper bobbin thread in the bobbin peg (nº 14) and thread through the pressure selector (nº 15) until you reach the empty spool which is located on the spool spindle (nº 20), take hold of the empty spool and wind the thread around the same a couple of times. 3.Finally press the winding button (nº 13) to start to fill the bobbin with thread. When you have reached the amount you require, press the button again (nº 13) to stop and cut the thread NEEDLE CHANGE -If the needle breaks you will need to change this to be able to carry on sewing. For this please take the following steps: 1.Disconnect the machine from the mains electricity supply. 2.Lower the presser foot by means of the lever (nº 8) 3.Lift the needle up manually to its highest point. To do this turn the manual wheel (nº 11) in the direction indicated by the arrows (clockwise). 4.Turn the needle adjustment screw (nº 5), towards the left and the needle will come out. 5.To put a new needle in place, please make sure that the flat part of the needle is facing the back part of the machine. 6.Take hold of the needle between your thumb and forefinger and push the needle up to the very end. 7.Finally tighten down the adjustment screw (nº5) towards the right to ensure that the needle is fully tight and in place.

STITCHING MODE SELECTION-

The stitching you require is selected by turning the stitching dial (nº 10) to the right or to the left. Please ensure that the needle is in its highest position before attemp- ting to turn the stitch selector dial.

WARNING: If the needle is not in its highest position it can easily break.

30-E E-31TYPES OF STITCHES

REVERSE STITCHING BUTTON

-If you hold this button down the machine will stitch backwards which is ideal for reinforcing seams.

HOW TO SEW ON BUTTONS

-To sew on buttons you will need to put in place the button accessory that is provi- ded (nº 8) which locks down to the lower plate by means of the 3 pivots. -Once in place you must pull up the lower thread as indicated in previous sections. -Then you put the button that you wish to sew down on the cloth and tack down the button by hand to prevent it from moving. -Place the cloth with the button underneath the presser foot and select the stitching. -Lower the presser foot downwards and lower the needle down manually with the manual wheel in order to ensure that the needle coincides with the holes in the button. Once you have checked that the needle coincides with the two holes in the button, press down the pedal to begin to sew the button on automatically. -If the button has 4 holes the operation has to be repeated by turning the cloth around 90 degrees.

HOW TO SEW BUTTONHOLES

-To make buttonholes you have to use the stitching indicated below and also the buttonhole presser foot. To do this you have to substitute the normal presser foot with the special buttonhole presser foot. To do this the section HOW TO REMOVE THE PRESSER FOOT has to be followed. 1.To start, please mark the length of the buttonhole on the cloth with a pencil. 2.Put the marked cloth under the presser foot with the buttonhole mark facing you. 3.Move the presser foot slide guide (A) towards you in such a way as the upper mark (B) of the guide coincides with the buttonhole starting mark that has been marked on the cloth. 4.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew for- wards until you reach the buttonhole mark. 5.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew 5 or 6 stitches. 6.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial with the back- wards stitching button (nº 9) until you reach the back buttonhole mark. 7.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew 5 or 6 stitches. 8.Remove the cloth from the machine and cut the thread. 9.And now in order to open the buttonhole please use the buttonhole cutter as indi- cated in the following illustration.

CLEANING AND STORAGE

-Your machine requires regular cleaning and lubrication. For satisfactory sewing, a machine which is used for a few hours a day needs to be cleaned and oiled once a month. IMPORTANT: Disconnect power supply before performing maintenance on the machine. Remove holding cloth and needle. Remove needle plate. Brush off all dust and lint. -Clean shuttle case with a cleaning brush or soft cloth. Use oil manufactured spe- cially for sewing machine use. Other oil will eventually cause mechanism to jam. Apply one drop of oil on the shuttle where friction occurs. 32-E E-33
