1 Place the thread and spool holder onto the spool pin. For larger spools of thread, place the large side of the spool holder toward the spool. For smaller spools of thread, place the small side of the spool holder toward the spool, or use the small spool holder. If the thread spool has a thread retaining slit, place this end of the spool toward the right, so the thread doesn't get caught while winding the bobbin.
Snap the thread into the thread guide.
Wind the thread counter-clockwise around the bobbin.

Cut the thread and then remove the bobbin.

NOTE: When the bobbin winder switch is placed on the right, "bobbin winding position", the machine will not sew and the handwheel will not turn. To start sewing, push the bobbin winder switch to the left, "sewing position".

Infasurarea bobinei

When inserting or removing the bobbin, the needle must be fully raised. Raise also the presser foot. Then turn off the machine.

ATTENTION:

Turn power switch to off (0^ ) before inserting or removing the bobbin.

Disengage the lever by pressing the lever to the right (arrow) and remove the transparent cover plate above the bobbin.

Threading the upper thread

NOTE: Threading the upper thread is very easy. It is important to carry out the threading correctly as by not doing so several sewing problems could result.

First turn on the machine with the power switch (position "-"). Start by raising the needle to its highest point by turning the hand wheel, and also raise the presser foot with the lever to release the tension discs. Then turn off the machine ("O" position) while threading for safety reasons.

Lift up the spool pin. Place the spool of thread on the spool pin so that the thread comes from the front of the spool, then place the spool cap at the end of the spool pin.
Draw the thread from the spool through the upper thread guide.

Threading the upper thread

Guide the thread around the thread guide pulling the thread through the pre-tension spring as illustrated.
Guide the thread into the right slot and pass it downwards.
Then, down and around the check spring holder and up again.
At the top of this movement, pass the thread from right to the left through the slotted eye of the take-up lever and then downwards again.
Pass the thread behind the flat, horizontal thread guide.
Pull the end of the thread through the needle from front to rear, and pull out about 10~cm of thread.

Use the needle threads to thread the needle. (On the next page).

IMPORTANT: The needle was raised before to its highest position by turning the handwheel. Lower the presser foot.

Using the needle threads

Lower the needle threader lever slowly and draw the thread through the thread guide as illustrated and then to the right.
The needle threader automatically turns to the threading position and the hook pin passes through the needle eye.
Take the thread in front of the needle.
Hold the thread loosely and release the lever slowly. The hook will turn and pass the thread through the needle eye forming a loop.

Pull the thread through the needle eye.

NOTES:

The needle threads does not function:

with crooked or faulty needles (see page 65)
- if the needle is not in its highest position, as the hook will not fit through the needle eye otherwise.
with double needles (not included)

ATENTIE: Rotiti intrerupatorul in positia oprit (^ 0^ )

Drawing up the lower thread

Hold the upper thread with the left hand. Turn the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) lowering, then raising the needle.
Gently pull on the upper thread to bring the bobbin thread up through the needle plate hole. The bobbin thread will come up in a loop.

Pull both threads to the back under the presser foot.

Threading control for bobbin thread

If the bobbin thread is correctly threaded, it is lead over the bobbin at a slight angle (1.).

Very important: If the thread is not visible at this point, heavy disturbances occur during sewing (thread tension completely wrong, "thread nests" on the bottom etc.). The bobbin and the bobbin thread have to be rethreaded (see page 45).

Tragerea firului inferior in sus

Raise the presser foot. Remove the fabric, draw the threads to the left side of the face cover and cut using the thread cutter. The threads are cut at the proper length to start the next seam.

Two-step pressor foot lifter

The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot.
When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work.

Talerea atel

With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.
The speed limiting adjustment lever can control the sewing speed.

To increase the sewing speed, slide the lever to the right. To decrease the sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.

ATTENTION: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to the power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.

Basic thread tension setting is 4^
- To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up.
To decrease the tension, turn the dial to the next number down. Proper setting of tension is important for good sewing.
There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.
However, 90% of all sewing will be between the 3^ and 5^ (4^ is the basic setting).
- For decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.
