Preparing
Your Machine
for
Sewing
Push
plug
A
into
the
receptacle
on
the back
of
the machine
and
the
plug
at
the
other
end
of
the
cord into
the
wall outlet.
If
your machine
is
foot-operated,
push
the
plug of
the
sewlight
cord
into the
wall out
let.
To
switch
on
the

the
pedal.
The harder
you
press,
the
faster
the
machine
will
run.

Power-driven
machines
feature a
lever
(10)
underneath
the
balance wheel
which
serves
to
swing
the
motor
to
its
operative
position.
To
engage
the motor,
flick
this
lever down.
After
you
have
completed
sewing, flick
this
lever
to
its
top position.
With the
motor
swung out
of
engagement,
oil
machines
fitted
with
a
treadle mechanism
con

as
illustrated.
Lift
latch
k
on
the

as
you
hold the
case
by
its
open
latch.
When
you
release
the latch,
the
empty
bobbin
drops
out.
On the Pfaff
95,
the
bobbin case
is
removed
just like

toward
you
and
place
it in
the
bobbin
case.
Pull

As
you
pull
the

(11).
The

cating
the

Balanced
tensions
are
essential
for
sewing.
Both
tensions
are
correctly
balanced
if
the
needle and
bobbin
threads
interlock
in
the
center
of
the
material.
The
bobbin
thread
tension
is
regulated
by
turning the
small
knurled screw
on
the
bob
bin
case.
Turn
this
screw right
for
a
tighter
tension,
or
left
for
a
looser
tension.
If
the
same
size
threads
are
used
in
the
needle and
on
the
bobbin, there
is
no
need
to
adjust
the
bobbin
thread
tension.
This
tension
is
set
correctly
if
a
slight
resistance
has
to
be
overcome
when pulling
the
thread.
