SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabric

but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difﬁcult or impossi-

ble to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric in especially red and blue often contain a lot of excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye,

always pre-wash it before sewing/embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

Procedures

1.3. 2.

Connecting the Foot Control

Among the accessories you will ﬁnd the foot

control cord and the main cord.

1. Remove the foot control cord. Place the

foot control on its narrow side. Fit the

plug into the socket inside the foot con-

trol compartment.

2. Push it ﬁrmly to make sure it is properly

connected. This operation is only neces-

sary the very ﬁrst time you are going to

use the machine.

3. To correctly turn away the cord, place it

Note: Before plugging in, check to ensure

that the foot control is of type “FR2”/“FR4”.

Connecting to the Power

Supply

On the underside of the machine you will

ﬁnd information about the power supply (V)

and the frequency (Hz). Check the power

supply setting in the machine to ensure that

this agrees with the main supply before you

connect the machine.

machine.

2. Connect the main cord to the back socket

on the bottom right side of the machine.

3. When you press the power switch, both

the machine and the light are switched

on.

For the USA and Canada

This Sewing Machine has a polarized

plug (one blade wider than the other). To

reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug

is intended to ﬁt in a polarized outlet only

one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in the

outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt,

contact a qualiﬁed electrician to install the

proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any

way.

Procedures

Accessory Box

1. Open the accessory box by placing your

ﬁnger in the space on the top and lift

upward.

2. Store the presser feet and the bobbins in

the box from the beginning so they are

always easily accessible.

Extended Sewing Surface

1. Slide the accessory box onto the machine

to provide a larger ﬂat work surface.

2. Slide the accessory box to the left when

you wish to remove it and use the free

arm.

3. To facilitate sewing trouser legs and

sleeve hems use the free arm. The free

arm also allows you to darn socks (dar-

ning foot is an accessory).

4. To replace the accessory box, slide it tight

onto the machine.

An extension table is also available as an

accessory to provide an even larger sewing-

surface.

Procedures

Narrow thread spool

Large thread spool

Spool Pin

The machine has spool pins suitable for all

types of thread. The main spool pin (a) is

adjustable – the thread reels off the station-

ary spool. Place the spool so that the thread

reels counter-clockwise.

There are two spool holders on the spool

pin. With narrow thread spools, the small

holder (b) is placed in front of the thread. If

you use large thread spools, the large holder

Slide the correct size spool holder in place

so the ﬂat side is pressed ﬁrmly against the

spool. No space between spool holder and

spool.

There is also a separate spool pin (d) to be

attached onto the machine. The ﬁngers on

the extra spool pin ﬁt into the two holes to

the right of the ﬁxed spool pin. Push down-

ward to snap in place.

The large spool holder (c) is placed under

the thread. This spool pin is used when

winding a bobbin from a second spool of

thread or for a second spool when sewing

with a twin needle.

Procedures

!Turn off the main switch

Threading the Upper Thread

Make sure the presser foot is raised and the

needle is in the up position

1. Pull the spool pin out. Place the thread

on the spool pin and the spool holder on

the spool pin as described. Push the spool

pin back in.

2. Bring the thread in the direction of the

arrow under the thread guide (a) and over

the thread guide (b).

3. Bring the thread down between the

thread tension discs.

4. Continue threading by drawing the thread

from the right into the slot on the take-up

lever.

5. Thread last guide just above the needle.

6. The needle is threaded from front to

back. The white on the presser foot

ankle makes it easy to see the eye of the

needle.

7. Place thread under the presser foot and

into the thread knife where it is cut.

Threading for Twin Needle

1Insert a twin needle. See page 11 Chang-

ing the Needle.

2Use a second thread spool or wind a

bobbin with the thread you are going to

use as the second upper thread.

check to ensure that the thread lies bet-

ween the inner thread tension discs, and

inside the last thread guide. Thread the

left needle.

4Attach the extra spool pin onto the

machine. Place a spool holder under the

thread.

5Place the bobbin with the second thread

on the spool pin.

6 RIGHT NEEDLE:Thread the machine as

before but this thread should lie between

the outer thread tension discs, outside the

lowest thread guide. Thread right needle.
