Revision Y Preparacion Para La Costura

Adjustment of the Presser Foot Pressure

The presser foot pressure is preadjusted for materials of medium (standard) thickness.

Adjustment is necessary only when you work on very thin or very thick materials. Accordingly, sew thinner materials with less pressure and thicker materials with more pressure. Increase the pressure of the presser foot by tightening the adjustment screw.

Espanol

Ajustando La Presion Del Prensatelas

English: Tighten Loosen

Espanol: Apriete Afloje

Francais: Serrer Desserer

Thread Tension Adjustment

Set the balance of the tension as weak as possible.

Balance of the Loopwer thread:

When the lower looper thread is pulled to the top of material, loosen tension dial ③ counterclockwise. (or tighten tension dial ④ clockwise.) When the upper looper thread is pulled to the underside, tighten tension dial ③ clockwise. (or loosen tension dial ④ counterclockwise.)

Ajustando La Tension Del Hilo

• Lower looper thread and upper thread should be well balanced with same tension. (Both looper threads should make crosses at the edge of the fabric.)
• Needle thread should not be slacken, or pulled.

Espanol

Tension correcta

Unbalanced upper looper thread wraps round and over the back

Tighten the thread tension of the upper looper (Dial ③) or loosen the thread tension of the lower looper (Dial ④).

Espanol

Unbalanced lower looper thread wraps round and over the face

Tighten the thread tension of the lower looper (Dial 4) or loosen the thread tension of the upper looper (Dial 3).

Adjustments For The Differential Feed

Differential feeding performs the function of stretching or condensing the edge of the fabric, since two independent feed dogs, one in front and one behind the needles, can be adjusted to feed at different ratio.

The function has the effect of producing a neat finish of overdging for stretchable and condensable fabrics.

• "N" indicates the neutral position.

Refer to the below chart and test stitch performance on a scrap of material you are going to use.

	Fabric	Differential feed ratio is set “N”.		Differential feed ratio	Result of adjustment
Stretchable materials	Knit Jersey			N-2
Unstretchable and uncondensable materials	Medium woven fabrics			N
Condensable materials	Georgette			0.7-N

Espanol

Ajuste De La Alimentacion De La Tela

Adjustments for Size of Bight

• Adjust the size of the bight from 5mm (0.2^ ) to 6.5mm(0.28^ ) according to the kind of material.
  The standard bight size is 5 mm (0.2^ )
• Open the side cover to adjust the bight size.

(1) If the cutting width is narrower than the bight size, turn the bite width adjusting dial to the direction of arrow. (To bigger number)
(2) If the cutting width is wider than the bight size, turn the bite width adjusting dial to the direction of the arrow. (a smaller number)

The right figure shows that the size of the bite between the left needle and the edge of the material 5mm

Espanol

How to Adjust Stitch Length

The machine is pre-set to a 2.5mm stitch length for regular seaming and overedging. You may adjust the stitch length from 1mm (Narrow rolled hemming) to 5mm by one-touch of the stitch length adjustment lever.

For normal overedging set the stitch length from 2.5mm to 5mm . A stitch length less than 2.5mm is used only for rolled hemming.

Sewing for Curved Seams

For a neat and clean finish of curved seams:

For inside curves, guide the fabric gently with the trimming line of the fabric under the right front of the presser foot, applying pressure to the fabric with your left hand, at the same time, apply a little pressure in the opposite direction with your right hand as shown.

For outside curves, apply pressure in the opposite directions of the above.

Espanol

Standard Chart for the Thread Tension

The tension for each of the thread tension dials should be different according to the pattern stitches as in the chart on the right.

Since the figures in the chart are for average strength of threads tension, it may be necessary to adjust the thread tension a litte.

Thread tensions will differ according to the kind of fabric and the thread.

The differential feed ratio is normally "N". (See p.41)

Espanol

Guía Standard Para Tension Del Hilo

SETTING WASTE TRAY (Option on some models)

(1) Insert the right guide @ of the waste tray to the right leg of the overlock machine as illustrated. Turn the waste tray in the direction of arrow.
(2) Push the left end of the waste tray in the direction of arrow.

Espanol

INSTALANDO LA BANDEJA DE RECORTES

1. Open the front cover.
2. Use one needle thread (left or right needle) and lower looper thread.
3. Turn the handwheel toward you to move the upper looper to the right side of the needle.
4. Hold the ① by hand and gently push it down.

Warning:

Pushing converter down too hard may bend converter.

1. Insert the tip ② of the 2-thread converter into the eye ③ of the upper looper.
2. Close the front cover.

For 3-thread/4-thread overlock sewing, set 2-thread overlock converter in the up position as illustrated, by removing the tip ② out of the eye ③ of the upper looper.

(Option on some models)

Roll hemming is achieved by rolling the fabric and overlocking. The 2 types as illustrated on left is ideal for use with thin materials.

ORILLADO DOBLE

The fabric is rolled by adjusting.

Orillado doble

The fabric is rolled and overlocked with upper and lower looper thread.

Orillado doble bajo

(1) Remove the left needle.
(2) Pull the stitch finger lever towards you.
(3) Set the stitch width adjusting dial to 5.
(4) Set the stitch length adjuster to 1.

Espanol

The figures in the above chart may be a little different according to the kind of the fabric and the threads. (See p.41 and p.79)
For roll hem sewing, pass the needle thread to the left side (solid line) of thread guide @ as illustrated. (For normal sewing, pass it to the right side (dotted line) of thread guide @)

(3) At the beginning of sewing, gently pull the end of the thread chain.

For roll hem sewing, pull the material gently towards the rear of the machine, and you'll get neater stitches.

Pin tucking is overlocked so avoid cutting the fabric by raising the upper knife.

Pin tucking is suited to the design of a child's clothing and a lady's blouse.

* Use the presser foot marked "A" and needle plate "A".

(1) Remove the left or right needle to your required width. (Sew only with the one needle.)
(2) Raise the upper knife. (See p.17)
Lower the presser foot lifter.
(3) The tension is set the same as the one for overedging. (See p.51)
The fabric is ironed along the line of the pin tucking in advance.
* The differential feed ratio is normally "N".

REPLACING THE CUTTING KNIVES

The upper knife and lower knife are made of a special long-lasting steel and will seldom have to be replaced. However, when they do not cut the fabric even though they are set in the right position. Replace them in the following way: Before replacing the knife, be sure the power supply plug is take out.

Move the front cover to the right, then open it toward you.
