Packing away after sewing

7Instruction book Lily 555/545
Connecting the foot control Among the accessories you will find the foot control cord and the main cord. 1. Place the foot control on its nar-
row side. Fit the plug into the socket inside the foot control compartment.
2. Push it firmly to make sure it is
properly connected. This opera- tion is only necessary the very first time you are going to use the machine.
3. To correctly turn away the cord,
place it into the slot, see picture.
Note: Before plugging in, check to ensure that the foot control is of "type FR2".
312
1. Connect the foot control cord to
the first socket on the bottom right side of the 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.
Procedures
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. 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.

8 Instruction book Lily 555/545 Accessory box 1. Open the Accessory box by pla-
cing your finger in the space on the top and lift upward.
2. In the Accessory box there is a
special tray for presser feet and bobbins plus space for other ac- cessories.
3. Store the presser feet and the
bobbins in the tray from the be- ginning so they are always easily accessible (refer to the figure).
Extended sewing surface
Procedures
1. Keep the Accessory Tray on the
machine to provide a larger flat work surface.
2. Slide the Accessory Tray 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.
4. To replace the Accessory Tray,
slide it tight onto the machine.
5. The extension table provides an
even larger work surface. To at- tach the extension table, place the rear, right corner to the Accessory Tray and the front, right hook onto the recess on the free arm.
6. To remove it, push slightly in the
direction of the arrow at the front right corner, then lift the hook out of the free arm.

Spool pin The machine has spool pins suitable for all types of thread. The main spool pin (a) is horizontal - the thread reels off the stationary 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 pla- ced in front of the thread. If you use large thread spools, the large holder (c) is placed in front of the thread. 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 downward 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.

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.

direction of the arrow under the thread guide (a) and over the thread guide (b).

the thread tension discs.
4. Continue threading by drawing
the thread from the right into the slot on the take-up lever.
