USING THE FOOT PEDAL (A) AND ADAPTOR (B)

1. Connect the foot pedal by inserting the jack into the foot pedal input socket. Then you can use the foot

pedal to turn on the machine instead of using the hand switch (Power & speed switch).

2. Connect the adaptor’s jack to the DC input socket on the back of the machine, and connect the plug to the

main power supply. Caution: Make sure the foot pedal is unplugged from the machine when you are not using it, so the sewing machine won’t accidentally start up. The foot pedal cannot be used together with the power & speed switch. Make sure the switch is placed at the position “OFF”. There is no speed selection when using foot pedal to control the machine.

INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

1. Make sure the “Power & speed switch” is on the position “OFF”.

2. Turn the sewing machine over on a flat surface and remove the battery compartment cover.

3. Insert 4xAA batteries (LR6 or recharchable HR6) nto the compartment and replace the battery cover.

Caution: To prevent the accidental start-up of the sewing machine, always make sure that the “Power & speed switch” is on the position “OFF” when inserting or removing the batteries. When using the adapter, remember to remove all batteries from the machine.- 30 - 80.06.0018

NEEDLE REPLACEMENT If the needle breaks, or you need a different needle to sew a different kind of fabric, just follow these steps. If you need replacement needles please use universal needles of type 90/14. Caution:

• To prevent injury from accidentally starting up the machine, make sure to turn off the switch, remove the foot pedal and the adaptor 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.

3. Tighten the needle clamp screw.

• 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; Fig.4)

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.5; Fig.6) Caution: Always switch off the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply and remove the foot pedal 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.- 31 - 80.06.0018 Fig.3 Fig.4 Fig.5 Fig.6

THREADING THE SEWING MACHINE

• Always switch off the appliance, disconnect the appliance from the power supply and remove the foot pedal when threading the machine.

1) Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest position.

2) Put a spool on the thread spindle, put on the thread spindle cover and then pull out the thread.

3) Pull the thread and let it pass through the bobbin winder tension disk. (mark ① in the pic. below)

4) Guide the thread through the groove and pull it up towards the chromed take-up lever. (marks ② & ③ in

5) Feed the thread through the hole in the chromed lever and pull it straight down towards the needle.

(marks ④ & ⑤ in the pic. below)

6) Turn on the working light for better visibility.

7) Feed the thread through the hole in the needle holder, then through the eye of the needle from the front

side to the back and pull out 10cm to the back. (mark ⑥ in the pic. below)- 32 - 80.06.0018

2. Replacing the bottom bobbin

1) Slide the bobbin cover button to the right and remove the bobbin cover (Fig.7).

2) Put the new bobbin in the holder, with the thread going clockwise. Leave 10cm of thread hanging out

3) Make a loop and put it in the hole under the needle.

4) Hold the end of the upper thread with one hand, and turn the hand wheel counterclockwise with the

other hand, the needle thread will pick up the bobbin thread and pull it up through the hole under the needle (Fig.9).

5) Replace the bobbin cover and separate the two threads and pull them to the back of the machine under

the presser foot, leaving about 15cm hanging there. (Fig. 10) Caution: Always switch off the appliance, disconnect it from the power supply and remove the foot pedal when replacing the bottom bobbin. Please use metal bobbins, otherwise the magnetic holder cannot tense the bobbin thread and work rightly. Fig.7 Fig.8 Fig.9 Fig.10 SEWING

Fig.20 Fig.21 Fig.22 Fig.23 Fig.24 Fig.25 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)- 36 - 80.06.0018 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
