looper such as threading, changing needles or presser feet, or raising the knife, may only be done with the machine

switched off (power switch at “O”). When cleaning or lubricating the machine replacing the bulb or when sewing is

finished, machine should be disconnected from the electricity supply. All repair work, especially electrical repairs

(e.g. renewing the cable connection out by one of our authorized service agencies.

Preparing the machine

Attaching the foot control

Plug foot control into machine socket (A) and then into main

socket (B). The foot control regulates the sewing speed. The

sewing speed can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the

pressure on the foot control.

Thread guide

Raise, the support rod fully, turning slightly until the

positioning catches engage (C). Position the thread guide on

the thread stand so that the arrow is to the front (D).

Thread Stand

Attach the separately packed spool holder to the fixed spool

holder.

Preparing the machine

Thread cones/spools

The anti-vibration cone should be used with the wider edge

at the bottom on the spool holder pin when sewing with

cones.

Large spools

If large industrial spools are used, position the anti-vibration

cone upside down on the spool holder pin, i.e. with the wider

edge at the top.

Household spools

Remove the anti-vibration cones. Place spools on spool

holder pins and push the spool capon with the rounded side

downwards.

Thread net

If threading slip and get twisted, cover the spools of upper

and lower looper with the nets supplies in the accessory bag.

Using the machine

Power/light switch

The power/light switch is conveniently placed on the hand-

wheel side of the machine in front of the socket.

• Off (A)

• On without light (B)

• On with light (C)

Handwheel

The handwheel turns forward, i.e. in the same direction as on

a household sewing machine.

Looper cover

To open press to the right with your thumb in the indent

provided and tilt the cover towards you. To close, push it up

and press lightly to the right. The cover engages

automatically.

Cloth plate

The cloth plate opens automatically by pushing the lever

downwards. To close the cloth plate, push it towards the

machine and press gently until the cover engages.

Using the machine

Two-step presser foot lifter

To raise the presser foot, raise the presser foot lever on the

rear of the machine, until it engages (A). It can be raised

again to maximum height and held in this position to provide

more space between presser foot and stitch plate (B).

Changing the presser foot

• Turn power switch to “O”

• Raise the presser foot

• Turn handwheel towards you until needles are fully

raised.

Press the catch (C) to release the presser foot from the

clamp. Raise the presser foot to the highest position (B)

and remove the presser foot to the left. To attach the

presser foot, place it under the shaft. The groove in the

shaft should line up exactly with the presser foot pin

(D). Lower the shank and the presser foot will engage

automatically.

Using the machine

Inserting the needles

Needles can be inserted quickly and easily with the practical

brush-cum-needle inserter (A).

• Turn power switch to “O”.

• Turn handwheel towards you until needles are fully

raised.

• Lower the presser foot.

Using the small screwdriver, loosen the needle set- screws

and remove the needles (B).

Place right-hand needle, flat sides towards the back, into the

hole of the needle inserter and insert the needle as far as

possible into the needle clamp. Tighten the set-screw lightly

and then insert the left-hand needle in the same way and

tighten both setscrews (C).

Needle and machine

Your Funlock is equipped with needle system 130/705 H

(household needles). These should be purchased when

replacement needles are required. Use needles no. 70 – 90 on

your Bernette.

Raising the upper knife

• Turn the power switch to “O”

• Turn the handwheel towards you until needles

are fully raised.

• Open looper cover.

Press the upper knife holder (D) to the right. Turn the knob

clockwise (E) until the knife is in the position illustrated (F).
