- Short threads ens for start of sewing:
Auxiliary thread tensioner
If main tensioner 2 and additional tensioner 3 are open, still, small amount of sub-
tension is needed. This sub-tension is regulated by auxiliary tensioner 1.
This tensioner, at the same time, controls length of the thread ends after trimming
(thread ends for next stitch).
Basic petting:
Turn the plate 4, until its front side is in level with the pin 5.
Turn the plate 4 clockwise.
- Longer threads ens for start of sewing:
Turn the plate 4 counter-clockwise.
Main tensioner
It is necesary to set minimum tension on main tensioner 2.
Crossing of threads should occur in the middle of the sewn material.
Too high thread tension can cause unwanted deformation of thin materials or thread
breakage.Set the main tensioner 2 in order to reach constant stitch composition.
Additional tensioner
Additional tensioner 3 is used for quick change of upper thread tension, for example in
heightened points of seams.Set addiotional tensioner 3 lower than main tensioner 2.

8. SETTING THREAD REGULATOR
Turn off main switch. The thread regulator may only be adjusted with the sewing machine
switched off. The thread regulator controls the quantity of thread required for stitch formation.
The thread regulator must be precisely adjusted for an optimum result.
With correct setting the needle-thread loop must slide with low tension over the thickest point
of the hook. Loosen screw 1,adjust position of the thread regulator 2, thread regulator to the
left = more thread, thread regulator to the right = less thread, tighten screw 1.
Adjustment information:
If the maximum quantity of thread is required, the thread-tensioning spring 3 must be pulled
upwards about 0,5mm from its lower limit position. This is the case, when the needle-thread
loop passes the maximum hook diameter.

9. WINDING OF HOOK THREAD
Put the thread cone on the thread stand and conduct the thread through the unwinder arm.
Pass the thread through thread guide 1 and tensioner 2.
Pull the thread beginning behind the tear-off knife 3 and tear it off. Insert the empty
bobbin on the winder. Press the winder lever 4 against the bobbin.
Start sewing. Winder levet will stop the process of winding when the bobbin is full. The
winder alaways stops when the knife 3 is in the upper position like indicated on the right
picture. Take out the full bobbin, pull the thread behind the knife 3 and tear off.
Insert new empty bobbin and press the winder lever 4 against the bobbin.
If the thread is not supposed to be wound, it is necessary to fix the presser foot in the
upper position and adjust the presser foot lift for the minimum value, otherwise breakage
can occur.

10. EXCHANGE OF HOOK THREAD BOBBIN
Turn off the main switch. Hook thread bobbin may only be replaced if is machine is turned
off.
Taking out the empty bobbin
Raise the flap 1 and take out the empty bobbin.
Inserting the full bobbin
Insert the bobbin 2 in a way that it moves in counter-clockwise direction
against the hook when unwinding the thread. Conduct the lower thread
through the slot 3 and pass it underneath the sping 4. Pull the thread through
the slot 6 and continue pulling until it stands out about 3cm. Close the flap 1
and pull the thread through the flap guide 5.

11. SETTING HOOK THREAD TENSION
Turn off the main switch. Lower thread tension may only be adjusted only if the machine is
switched off.
Adjustment of tension spring 2

12. CHANGING THE NEEDLE IN 1-NEEDLE MACHINES
Turn off the main switch. Needle may only be changed if the machine is switched off.
Turn the handwhell until the needle bar reached its upper end position. Loosen screw 2. Take
out needle from the needle bar 1. Insert the new needle properly into the needle bar hole,
aligning it so that the needle groove 3 points to the hook. Tighten screw 2.
If needle with a different size is inserted, distance between hook and needle must be adjusted,
otherwise following faults can occur:
If thinner needle is used:
- Missing stitches
- Thread damage
If thicker needle is used:
- Damage of hook tip
- Damage of needle

13. CHANGING THE NEEDLE IN 2-NEEDLE MACHINES
Turn off the main switch. Needle may only be changed if the machine is switched off. Turn
the handwhell until the needle bar 1 reached its upper end position. Loosen screw 3. Take out
needle from the needle bar holder 2. Insert the new needle properly into the needle bar hole 2,
aligning it so that from view of operator the right needle groove 4 points to the right and left
needle groove to the left (see picture above). Tighten screw 3.
If needle with a different size is inserted, distance between hook and needle must be adjusted,
otherwise following faults can occur:
If thinner needle is used:
- Missing stitches
- Thread damage

position. Turn the lever 1 upwards. The presser feet are released.
Or Lift the presser feet pneumaticaly by the foot pedal or mechanically by the
knee lever . The lever 1 will turn back to its initial position.
16. SETTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
Required pressure of presser foot can be adjusted by the regulating knob 2.
Note that the sewn material must not be loose.
At the same time, pressure must not be higher than required.
Increase of pressure = turn the knob 2 clockwise
-
Decrease of pressure = turn the knob 2
counterclockwise
