the back of the machine, and connect the plug to the main power supply.

4. Turn the power switch to the position “ON”, and then

step on the foot pedal, the machine starts working. You can adjust the machine’s running speed by the foot pedal. The more force you step on with, the faster the machine sews. When the foot pedal is pressed down to the bottom, the machine gets the fastest speed.- 5 - Caution: Make sure the plug is disconnected from mains power supply when you are not using it, so the sewing machine won’t accidentally start up. Note: The machine works only when its power switch stays at the position “ON” and simultaneously the connected foot pedal is pressed. NEEDLE REPLACEMENT If the needle breaks, or you need a different needle to sew a different kind of fabric, just follow these steps: Caution: To prevent injury from accidentally starting up the machine, make sure to turn off the switch, remove the foot pedal and the adapter plug first.

1. Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest position. Hold the old needle and loosen the needle

clamp screw. Remove the old needle and discard it properly. (Fig.1)

2. Insert the new needle into the clamp with the flat side toward the correct direction (to the back). Be sure

to push the needle completely into the clamp before tightening the needle clamp screw. Tighten the needle clamp screw. (Fig.2) Caution: Needle direction must be correct, and be sure to tighten the thimble screw, to avoid needle falling by accident.

PRESSER FOOT REPLACEMENT

1. Removing the presser foot

Turn the hand wheel counterclockwise to raise the needle to its highest position. Raise the presser foot lifter, and press the presser foot locking lever. The presser foot will drop off automatically from the locking device. (Fig.3)

2. Installing the presser foot

Put the presser foot under the presser foot locking device, lower the presser foot lifter, press the presser foot locking device to reset the foot, and lift the presser foot lifter. (Fig.4) Caution: Always switch off the appliance and disconnect it from the power supply when replacing the presser foot. When replacing the presser foot, please place the machine on a stable platform. When putting down the presser foot, please do not put your hand or finger under it to avoid injuring fingers. Fig.3 Fig.4- 6 -

1) Pull the cloth under the presser foot and lower the presser foot on the cloth where you need to sew

buttonhole, then select stitch 05 and turn the stitch density dial to the position E.

2) Turn on and sew 5-6 stitches by foot pedal, then stop. (Fig.19)

3) Select the stitch 04 and turn the stitch density dial to the position D, turn on and use foot pedal to sew on

the cloth in suitable length, then stop. Note that try to keep sewed stitches in straight line. (Fig.20)

4) Select stitch 05 and turn the stitch density dial to the position E, turn on and sew 5-6 stitches by foot pedal,

5) Raise the presser foot, rotating the cloth for 180° (Fig.22).

6) Select the stitch 04 and turn the stitch density dial to the position D. Turn on and use foot pedal to sew till

buttonhole is fully sewed. (Fig.23) Fig.19 Fig.20 Fig.21- 11 - Fig.22 Fig.23 Fig.18 Fig.19 Note: The presser foot shown as below can facilitate the buttonhole sewing. It has scale marks to follow.

This drawer is an accessory storage compartment, which can be slid out and you can store spare bobbins, needles, etc. in it.

1. Put the button on the fabric, keeping the buttonhole in align with the needle exactly. Lay down the presser

2. Select stitch 04 / 05 / 06, which depends on the inside length of the buttonhole (normally we select 05),

and turn the stitch density dial to the position E. Turn the hand wheel slowly to see if the needle runs properly through the holes of the button from left to right. Operate carefully to avoid damage to the needle or button.

3. Guide the thread through the needle correctly before starting to sew a button. Turn on and use the foot

pedal to sew the button slowly. (Fig. 24)

4. Sewing about 5-6 stitches is enough for one button. If the button has four holes, you can change to the

other 2 holes when having finished sewing one side. (Fig. 25) Note: The metal foot presser may slip, so it’s recommended to use the presser foot for button sewing. (Fig.26)- 12 - Fig.24 Fig.25 Fig.26

1. Put a spool of thread on spool pin. (Fig.27)

2. Guide the thread through the bobbin winder tension disk on the upper side of the machine. (Fig.28 &

3. Lead the thread through the small hole of the empty bobbin and hold the thread on hand. Put the bobbin

on the bobbin winder pin. (Fig.30)

4. Push the bobbin winder pin towards the bobbin winder stop. (Fig.31)

5. Turn on the machine and use foot pedal to wind the bobbin. Hold the thread end on hand for several

seconds in case the thread break away from the bobbin. When the thickness of thread on the bobbin gets close to the bobbin winder stop, the machine will stop automatically.(Fig.32)

6. Release the foot pedal and turn off the machine. Remove the bobbin and cut off the thread. Slide the

thread winder pin to the left. (Fig.33) Note: You can adjust a little the position of the bobbin winder stop with a screwdriver, to change the thickness of bobbin thread. Use the screwdriver properly. Just turn the screw a little, never rotate the screw off! (Fig.34) Fig.27 Fig.28 Fig.29 Fig.30 Fig.31 Fig.32 Fig.33 Fig.34- 13 - ADJUSTING STITCHING

1. As shown in the Fig.A, normal stitching shall have top and bottom threading evenly, neither over tight nor

loose. (① = Top thread; ② = Cloth; ③ = Bottom thread) Fig.A

2. If the bottom threading looks like a straight line (Fig.B), which indicates the top thread is too loose. Please

turn upper thread tension dial to direction with bigger number to increase pressure until the stitching returns to normal. Fig.B

3. If the top thread looks like a straight line (Fig.C), which indicates an over-tight top thread. Please turn the

upper thread tension dial to the direction with smaller number to reduce pressure until the stitching back to normal. Fig.C
