3. Setting the machine in a working place
Unpack the machine together with all parts and accessories.
A. Positioning
Set the machine on a stable surface, preferably on its right, front corner. Fasten the machine to the table edge with clamps,
which are attached to the equipment. The clamp is slipped into front or right groove in the machine.
Choice of locking groove depends upon how user wants to set the machine on the table. Make sure the machine is fixed and
will not fall down from the table during work. Figure 2 shows how to fix the machine.
B. Installation of thread stand
First, loosen the set screw of the thread guide (1) and place the thread guide (2) and bolt assembly (3) in the hole at the back
of the machine. Then tighten the set screw (1).
Loosen the screw (4) and adjust the guide head (5) in the direction of the spool pin (6). Then tighten the screw (4).

4. Lubrication
Lubrication is important because it ensures trouble-free operation and long machine life. Therefore, after setting the machine,
as described in Chapter 3 A, it’s necessary to let a few drops of oil to all openings of the machine, as shown on Figure 7.
After opening the side cover and back cover one should also lubricate moving parts inside the machine.
Every day, before work, you should let one or two drops of oil to all openings indicated on Figure 7.
It is recommended that lubrication was carried out always after work, in order to avoid contamination of sewn material. Thus,
excessive oil can trickle, and in the machine will remain only the required amount of it. Prior to starting work, verify that the
machine was cleaned from excessive oil. To completely remove the excessive oil, before starting work you should stitch for
about a minute on the machine, with the knee lift pressed.
5. Needle and material
It is recommended to use needles system 2140 TP (LWx6T).
In order to obtain best sewing result, you should properly adjust needles size to the sewn material.
NEEDLE (size) MATERIAL
80 Silk and other delicate materials
90 Cotton, wool and other middle weight materials
100 Thick cotton and other trick materials

6. Needle exchange
Turn pulley clockwise until the needle is in its extreme left position. Loosen the set screw and pull the needle out (1).
Insert new needle into needle holder (2), pushing it as deep as possible. Then tighten the needle set screw (1). Note: Figure
8 presents elements of the needle holder.
7. Threading the machine
A. If you use cone thread, you should also use plastic cap, which you can find on the thread stand.
B.If you use bobbin thread, before placing it on the stand you should take the plastic cap out of the thread stand.
C. In order to sew correctly on the machine, the thread should be run exactly as shown on Figure 9.
If you are using a thread tensioner, first you must thread the thread through the rear eye of the thread guide (1). Then lead
the thread between the two tensioner discs (2), as per Figure 9. Thread the thread from the back of the front eye of the
thread guide. Lead thread to the front of the machine, lead it from the top to the thread guide (3) and eye (4).
Then make sure that the needle is at the extreme left position. Thread the thread from the bottom, through the needle’s eye,
as shown on Figure 11.
It is easier to thread the needle eye, when the working table is open after loosening the set screw (Figure 12).
