3 Operation
3.1 Threading the needle thread
To thread the needle thread:
1. Fit the thread reels on the reel stand and feed the needle and
hook threads through the unwinding bracket.
The unwinding bracket must stand horizontally above the
thread reels.
2. Thread the needle thread as shown in the following figure.
Fig. 1: Threading the needle thread
3. Pull the needle thread approx. 4 cm through the needle after
threading.
This ensures reliable sewing-on.
CAUTION
Risk of injury from sharp and moving parts!
Crushing or puncture possible.
Only thread the needle thread with the machine
switched off.
(1) - Silicone lubricator (optional)

Operation
16 Operating Instructions 513/533 - 01.0 - 09/2023
4. When using silicone oil, also thread the needle thread through
the optional silicone lubricator (1).
3.2 Adjusting the needle thread tension
Fig. 2: Adjusting the needle thread tension
Needle thread pretension
If the main tension (2) is open, a small amount of residual tension
of the needle thread is required. The residual tension is generated
by the pretension (1).
The pretension also affects the length of the cut needle thread
end (starting thread for the next seam).
To adjust the needle thread pretension:
1. Turn the pretension (1) clockwise (- direction) for a shorter
starting thread.
2. Turn the pretension (1) counterclockwise (+ direction) for a
longer starting thread.
Needle thread main tension
To adjust the needle thread main tension:
1. Set the main tension of the needle thread (2) to be as low as
possible.
The thread interlacing should be exactly in the middle of the
(1) - Pretension (2) - Main tension

sewing material. With thin sewing material, excessive thread
tension can lead to undesired ruffing and thread breaking.
Opening the needle thread tension
When the thread is cut, the main tension (2)is opened automatically.
3.3 Adjusting the needle thread regulator
Fig. 3: Adjusting the needle thread regulator
CAUTION
Risk of injury from sharp and moving parts!
Puncture or crushing possible.
Only thread the needle thread with the machine
switched off.
(1) - Needle thread regulator
(2) - Thread tensioning spring
(3) - Screw

Operation
18 Operating Instructions 513/533 - 01.0 - 09/2023
The needle thread regulator (1) regulates the amount of needle
thread required for forming the stitch. An optimum sewing result
is possible only when the needle thread regulator is exactly
adjusted.
With the correct setting the needle thread loop must slide over the
thickest part of the hook at low tension.
To adjust the needle thread regulator:
1. Loosen screw (3).
2. Change the position of the needle thread regulator (1).
Needle thread regulator to the left = larger amount of needle
thread
Needlethread regulator to the right = smaller amountofneedle
thread
3. Tighten the screw (3).
Adjustment note:
When the maximum thread quantity is required, then the thread
tensioning spring (2) must be pulled approx. 0.5 mm down from
its upper end position. This occurs when the needle thread loop
passes the maximum hook diameter.
