2. Raise the presser foot lifter and turn the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is in its highest position.
3. Place a thread spool onto the spool pin, making sure that the thread rolls off the spool in a counterclockwise direction. When needed, use the thread spool pin foot and/or thread spool cap.
4. Hook the thread through the Upper thread guide and then securely slip.

1. Bring the thread down through the tension disk slot, go around the U-turn, and bring it back up.
2. Pass the thread through the eye of the take up lever, from right to left.

1. Bring the thread back down and thread the guide, from top to bottom, on the needle clamp.

1. Thread the needle from front to back, making sure that the thread is to the back of the needle and under the presser foot.

Needle replacement

CAUTION: Disconnect the AC/DC adapter before starting to replace the needle.

1. Turn the hand wheel to raise the needle to its highest position.
2. Hold the old needles and loosen the needle clamp screw. Remove the old needle and discard responsibly.
3. Insert a new needle into the clamp with the flat side of the needle towards the back of the sewing machine. Be sure to push the needle all the way into the clamp before tightening the needle clamp screw.

Before first use

• Remove all packaging of the device.

Check if the voltage of the appliance corresponds to the main voltage of your home.

Connecting To The Power Source

1. Make sure the "OFF/ I & II speed switch" is on the "OFF" position.
2. Connect the jack position A to the DC input socket on the back of the sewing machine, and connect the plug position B into the main power supply.
3. Connect the foot pedal position C to the sewing machine by inserting the jack into the foot pedal input socket on the back of the sewing machine.
4. You can either use the foot pedal (please keep the power/speed switch on the off position) or the power/speed switch (II setting for high sewing speed whilst the I stand for low sewing speed) to operate the sewing machine.

CAUTION: Whenever the sewing machine is not in use, make sure it is switched off and unplugged from the mains power supply.

Winding a bobbin

Always use a metal bobbin, otherwise the magnetized bobbin case will not be able to function properly, resulting in a lack of tension on the bobbin thread.

1. Turn the sewing machine so that you are facing it from behind.

2. Place an empty bobbin onto the bobbin winder pin and push it to the left.

3. Place a spool of thread on the spool pin, so that the thread rolls off the spool in a counterclockwise direction. If desired, place the thread spool cap on the spool pin.

4. Guide the thread to the thread guide disk and slip it securely under the disk, going counterclockwise.

5. Wrap the end of the thread clockwise around the bobbin several times.

Drawing bobbin thread

Always use a metal bobbin, otherwise the magnetized bobbin case will not be able to function properly, resulting in a lack of tension on the bobbin thread.
1. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise until the needle is in its highest position.
2. Raise the presser foot lifter
3. Slide the bobbin compartment cover towards you and remove it.
4. Remove the old bobbin and put a filled bobbin into the bobbin compartment.

Drawing bobbin thread

1. Pull out about 4 inches of thread from the new bobbin, making sure that the bobbin turns clockwise, or you will not have the correct tension when you begin to sew.

2. Hold the needle thread loosely with your left hand and turn the handwheel counterclockwise towards you, first lowering the needle, and continuing to turn the hand wheel until the needle comes to its highest position. In so doing, the needle thread will pickup the bobbin thread and pull it through the hale under the needle.

3. Lightly pull up the needle thread and pickup the bobbin thread which will appear through the needle plate slot.

4. Make sure the needle thread is threaded through the groove of the presser foot, and pull both threads to the back of the machine, leaving about a 4 inch tail.

5. Replace the bobbin compartment cover.

Sewing

-Turn the hand wheel counterclockwise to raise the needle to its highest position.
-Raise the presser foot lifter and place the fabric you want to sew under the presser foot.
-Lower the presser foot.
- Rotate the pattern selection dial to select the stitch pattern you wanted.
- Use either the foot pedal or the power OFF/ Speed switch to start the sewing machine and begin sewing.

CAUTION:

Before you change the stitch pattern, please turn off the switch and turn the hand wheel to raise the needle all the way up so it doesn't get stuck and bent. Changing the stitch pattern is not allowed when the machine is running; otherwise, the needle and/or machine may damage.

Turn the hand wheel counterclockwise several times to make sure there is no jamming in the stitches. Slide the power switch to the Low or High speed position, and the machine will automatically start sewing. We recommend the low speed for beginners.

When you finished the sewing, turn off the switch, unplug the adapter, turn the hand wheel to raise the needle all the way up, lift the presser foot, and then gently remove the fabric from the sewing machine, and cut the thread with the thread cutter.

USAGE TIPS:

please turn the hand wheel if it is difficult to remove the fabric, and then pull out the fabric gently.

if the thread had tangled or jammed, please turn the hand wheel and simultaneously pull the thread slightly to release the thread. Bottom bobbin mechanism is a more precise part, inappropriate actions may damage it, please do not push or pull it by finger or any tools

When you are ready to stop sewing a particular piece, proceed as follows:

1. Lift your foot off the foot pedal or slide the power OFF/speed switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Turn the handwheel counterclockwise to raise the needle to its highest position.
3. Move the presser foot lever up to lift up the presser foot and gently remove the fabric from the machine.
4. Cut the threads using the thread cutter on the sewing machine

Adjusting the needle thread tension

Balanced tension

The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two layers of fabric, as illustrated.

Turn the dial to adjust the tension.

1. Toloanen
2. To tighten

The tension requires adjustment depending on:

-stiffness and thickness of the fabric
-number of fabric layers
-type of stitch
3. Needle thread (Top thread)
4. Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)
5. Right side (Top side) of fabric
6. Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

Tension is too tight: If the bobbin thread shows through on the right side (top side) of the fabric, turn the dial to a lower number to loosen the needle thread tension.

1. Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)
2. Right side (Top side) of fabric
3. To loosen

Tension is too loose: If the needle thread shows through on the wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric, turn the dial to a higher number to tighten the needle thread tension.

1. Needle thread (Top thread)
2. Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric
3. To tighten

For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread should not show on the top side of the fabric and needle thread should show slightly on the bottom side of the fabric.

1. Needle thread (Top thread)
