for

PFAFF
Sewing
Machine
(Model
130)
For
best
results,
study
these
instructions
carefully-par-
ticularly
those
parts
on
the
care
of
the
machine.
Before
leaving
the
factory
your
PFAFF
was
adjusted,
carefully
tested,
and
found
to
be
perfect
in
every
respect.
If
you
follow
the
simple
suggestions
outlined
here,
you
will
enjoy
your
PFAFF...
find
it
endlessly
useful..,
and,
through-out
the
years
be
glad
that
your
choice
is
the
finest
sewing
machine
in the
world.
I. Useful
hins
to
help
you
get
the
best
results
with
your
PFAFF
Use
fine thread
and
a
fine
needle
adjusted
for
loose
tension
when
sewing
thin,
light
fabrics.
For
ordinary
lock
stitch
or
zigzag
seams,
regulate
the
tension
so
that
the
interlacing
of
upper
and
under
threads
takes place
in
the
center
of
the
stitching.
For
making
buttonholes,
stitching
on
buttons,
eyeletting
rolling
seams,
and
hemstitching, the
tension
of
the under
thread
should be
somewhat
tight,
since
it
is
desirable
to
have
the
threads
interlock
more
toward
the
underside
of
the
fabric.
Use
unglazed
thread
for
ordinary
sewing, and
soft
yarn
for
embroidering,
darning,
etc.
Since
these
yarns
are smoother
and more
flexible
than
the
hard
and
brittle
glazed cotton,
they
assure
well-drawn-in
stitches,
thus
protecting
the
seams
when
the
fabric
is washed.
Skipping
of
stitches
may
be
caused
by:
1.
Needle
not
having
been
inserted
properly.
2.
Using
other
than
the recommended
PFAFF
Needles.
3.
Needle being
bent
by
wrong
handling,
or
too
fine
for
the
thread
used.

Thread
breaking
may be
caused by;
1.
Any
of
the
three
reasons
mentioned above.
2. Tension
too
tight.
3. Using
bad
or
knotty
thread.
Bad
stitches
may
be
caused as
a result
of;
1. Tensions
being
too
loose
or too
tight.
Both
tensions
should
be
equal.
2.
Using
needles
and threads
that
do
not
conform
to
the
thickness
of
the
fabric.
Top
and
bottom
thread
should
be
the
same.
3.
Fluff
having
accumulated
between
the
upper
tension
discs,
or underneath
the tension
spring
of
the
bobbin
case.
Heavy
working
of
the
machine
may
be
caused
by:
1.
The
motor
belt
having
become
too
loose
after
con-
stant
use,
therefore, not
pulling
properly.
In that
case, the
motor
bracket
has
to be
adjusted.
2. The
motor
belt
being
too
tight.
Do
not
over-tighten
it.
3. The
shuttle
race being
obstructed
by
fluff,
which
must
be removed.
4. The
machine
having
become
clogged.
Note
the
fol-
lowing
instructions
for
proper
oiling
and
cleaning.
II.
To
oil
and
clean
the
machine
Apply
rust-proof
grease
on
all
nickel-plated
and
polished
parts.
This
done, all
greased
parts
should
be
cleaned
with
a
clean
rag.
Then,
apply
a
little
PFAFF-Sew-
ing
Machine
Oil
at
the
oiling
points marked
with
arrows
in Figures
1, 2,
and
3.

After
raising
the presser
foot,
run the
machine
for a
little
while without
thread,
wipe
off the
down-dripping
oil and
apply
a drop
of PFAFF
Sewing
Machine
Oil to
all
points
where there
is friction.
Make
it a
rule to
clean
and oil
the machine
from
time
to time,
especially
when
it has been
in constant
use, or
has not been
used
for a long
time.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Before
using
the machine
for
the
first
time,
apply
to the hook
a drop
of PFAFF
Sewing
Machine Oil.
Keep
the oil
can clean.
The
needle
plate
should
be taken
off frequently
and
cleaned of
accumulated
fluff on the
underside.
III. The
needle
If the needle
is
inserted
incorrectly,
the top
thread
will
jam in
the hook,
and tear.
The correct
way
to install
the
needle
is with the
flat of
the shank
toward
the hand
lift.
In
general,
follow
this
simple
rule:
Use
a finer
needle
for
finer
thread
and
a heavier
needle
for
heavier
thread.
IV.
Feeding
If the
material
does
not feed
(move),
turn presser
bar
pressure
screw
to the
right to
increase
the pressure.
There
should
be as
little pressure
as possible
on the
presser
bar-use
just enough
to
feed the
material.
Too
much pressure
causes
excessive
wear
in feeder
and
foot.
When
in
doubt, call
in qualified
PFAFF
mechanic.
IMPORTANT-When
inserting
a
new
needle,
make
sure
that
the needle
thumb
screw
is loose
enough
to
permit
you to
slide the
needle
all the
way
up to the
stop
pin,
then tighten
the
thumb screw.
If the
needle
is not inserted
in this
way,
it will cause
SKIPPING
of stitches,
and
pos-
sible needle
breakage.

you're
ready
to sew.
3. To
remove
bobbin
case
(Fig.
5)
Turn
the
machine
back
on
its
hinges.
Open
latch
in
bobbin
case by
grasping
latch
between
thumb
and
fore-
finger
(it
is easier
with
the
left
hand)-and
pull.
The
bobbin
case
comes
right
out.
To
remove the
bobbin,
release
latch
again
and
the
bobbin
will
drop right
out.
Practice
a few
times,
so
as to
get
used
to this
operation.
4.
To
wind
the
bobbin
(Fig.
6)
For
beginners
it
is
suggested
that
the
balance
wheel
be
disconnected
so
that
the machine
will
not
turn.
For
experienced
operators,
the balance wheel
can
remain
connected
if
desired
so
that
a
bobbin
can
be
wound
while
sewing
on
a
garment.
Wind thread
around
the
bobbin
a couple
of times
away
from
you.
Place
bobbin
on winder
spindle
so that
the
single
slot
fits
into
the
pin
in the
side
of
the winder
spindle.
Place
spool
of thread
I on
either
spool
holder
(1).
Draw
thread down
between
tension
disc
2 to
the
bobbin
placed
on
winder
spindle
3.
Press
down
on
winder
catch
4 to
lock
bobbin
in
winding
position.
Now
you
are
ready
to
wind
bobbin.
Turn
on power
until bobbin
is
wound.
If
you
do not
wish
to wind
the
bobbin
to capacity,
press
winder
disconnect
lever
5.
When
bobbin
is
full,
release
is
automatic.
