6. Continue to guide the thread down
and pass it through the hole on the
needle clamp.
7. Finally, pull the thread through
the needle hole. Let the thread
run to the back under the presser
foot (20). Make sure you pull the
thread about 10 cm behind the
presser foot.
Adjusting the Upper-thread Tension
The setting is made by turning the adjusting wheel (2).
The basic setting is between 4 and 5.
Depending on the fabric and yarn thickness, turn the
adjusting wheel so that the knotting of the upper and lower
threads is visible as a dot on the top of the fabric. If loops
form, the thread tension is too loose.
Winding the Under-thread Bobbin
CAUTION:
Remove the upper thread completely from the sewing
machine. Otherwise it will wrap around internal compo-
nents and the sewing machine will block.
1. Place a thread spool on the thread spool holder (15).
2. Put an empty under-thread bobbin (27) on the bobbin
winder (14).
3. Guide the thread through the thread guide (16) to the
empty bobbin.
4. Wind the thread clockwise a few times around the empty
bobbin.
5. Push the bobbin against the bobbin
winder stop (13) (see illustration).
6. Start winding with the foot pedal
(25) or use the switch (8).
7. When the winder is full, the winding
stops automatically. If you want to
stop winding prematurely, release
the foot pedal.
8. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin.
Inserting the Under-thread Bobbin
1. The needle must be fully raised when inserting or remov-
ing the under-thread bobbin (27). Turn the handwheel (6)
in the direction of the arrow.
2. Pull the bobbin cover (10) off to the front.
3. Place the bobbin in the hook so that
it turns anticlockwise (see illustra-
tion). Let the thread hang out of the
bobbin by about 10 cm.
4. Push the bobbin cover back in.
Bringing up the Under-thread
1. Raise the presser foot (20).
2. Hold the upper-thread with your left hand.
3. At the same time, with your right hand, turn the
handwheel (6) in the direction of the arrow until the nee-
dle is raised (one complete turn of the handwheel).
4. Pull the lower and upper-threads 10 cm back under the
presser foot. You can use a scissor or the thread cutter
(12) for this.

Sewing
1. Make sure that the winder (14) is in the left position.
2. Raise the presser foot (20). Make sure that the upper-
thread and under-thread is pulled back about 10 cm.
3. Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the
presser foot.
4. Start sewing. Slowly press the foot pedal (25) or select
one of the two speed levels with the switch (8). Guide the
fabric with your hand.
- IMPORTANT! Do not pull or push the fabric while
sewing. This can cause damage to the needle!
5. To sew a bartack at the end of the seam or in the seam,
press down the button to sew backwards (7). When the
button is released, the sewing machine sews forward
again.
