under
the table.
Insert
the
foot control
plug into the
socket,
A, at the
back
of
the machine.
Connection
to wall
outlet
The machine’s voltage
is
given on
a plate, B, at the back
of
the
machine. Ensure
that
the wall
outlet voltage is the same
as that of
the machine. Then connect
the machine
to the
proper
wall
outlet.

Free
arm
Trouser
legs
and
sleeves
can
be
drawn onto
the
free
arm
making
it
easy
to
sew,
to
mend
or
to
patch
in
these
parts.
The
free
arm
also makes
it
much
easier
to
attach
collars and
cuffs
as
well
as
sew
small
children’s
clothes,
or
darn
socks
and
stockings
on
the
machine.
Extension
table
When
you
need
a
larger
working
surface,
attach
the
extension
table.
There
are
two
grooves
underneath
the
extension
table which
should
be
fitted onto
corresponding
studs
on
the
free
arm.
There
is
also
an
extra
support
leg
which
should
be
lowered.

L
Needle and thread
Mercerized cotton thread
as well as synthetic thread is
used
for every
kind of fabric.
No. 30—50 embroidery or darning
thread
gives
among
other
things fine buttonholes and nice
top stitching. As the
name
implies,
it
is
of course also used for embroidery and darning.
You will find a picture of
a
needle
on the inside of the shuttle
door. The needle system has number 705
H. Use
only needles
marked
in this way. The
machine is fitted with needle No.
80.
You will also find a
number of extra needles of various sizes
in the accessory box.
With regard to the size of needle,
it may be
generally
said that
No. 80—90 can
be used for most fabrics. For
afiner thread and
for sheer and tightly
woven fabrics a finer needle should
be
used.
For very heavy and
stiff fabrics a coarse needle must be used.
The
higher
the
number,
the coarser the needle. The sizes of
thread and needle
to be used are shown on the table.
Changing
the needle
Loosen the needle clamp
screw and remove
the needle which
is to be changed. When
you insert the
new needle, turn the
flat side away from you and
push the needle
up into the
needle socket
as
far
as the stop.
Tighten the screw so
that the
needle is held firmly.

Pull
out
the spool
pin,
1,
place
the
spool
of thread
on
the
pin.
Slide
the
thread
into
the
thread
guide,

Bobbin
winding
Pull
the
spool
arm,
A, towards
you
until
it
stops.
Take
an
empty
bobbin
from the
accessory
box.
In order
to
get
the
best
possible
result
when bobbin
winding,
use
only
Husqvarna
plastic bobbins,
which
have
three
grooves
in
the
hole.
Other
types
of
bobbins
cannot
be
used,
due
to
the
construction
of
the
bobbin
winding
device.
On
one
side
of
the bobbin
there
is
a
hole.
Turn
the
bobbin
with
the
hole
outwards
and
slide
the
bobbin
onto
the bobbin
spindle,

Bobbin winding
(cont.)
You
can
wind the
bobbin
directly
from
the
black
thread
guide.
Draw the
thread
through the
slot
and
between
the
tension/guide
discs
in
the
top
of
the
bobbin
winding
arm.
It
might be
desirable
to
reduce the
thread
tension
a
little.
Wind
the
thread
a
few
times
around
the
bobbin
in
an
anti-
clockwise
direction.
Hold
the
end
of
the
thread
while
you
press
down
the
foot
control.
Release
the
thread as
soon
as
winding
starts. Stop winding
before
the
bobbin
is
completely
filled,
as
in
fig.
I
below.
If
the
machine
is
winding
unevenly,
see
Correct
and
incorrect
bobbin
winding.
Remove the
bobbin.
Cut
the
thread.
Return
the
arm
to
the
upright
position.
