SPEED
The speed recommended for this machine is 4000
R.P.M., depending on material being stitched. It is
advisable to run a new machine slower than the maxi-
mum speed for the first few minutes to allow time for
the oil to reach the moving parts. The machine pulley
turns over toward the operator.
SETTING UP
Fasten the drip pan to the table with its left end
even with the left end of the cut-out. Fasten the knee
lifter bracket in the location shown in Fig. 2, assem-
bling it so that the lifter rod A does not strike the drip
pan. The screw slots in the bracket provide the neces-
sary adjustment. The stop stud 8, Fig. 2 should be set
to stop the action of the knee lifter as soon as the
presser foot is raised enough to trip the hand lever.
Then
screw the drain pipe C into the drain hole in the
drip pan and attach the oil jar D, as shown in Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Knee Lifter, Drip Pan
and Oil Jar in Position
TO OIL THE MACHINE
When machine is received from the factory, it should
be thoroughly cleaned and oiled.
Use "TYPE A" or "TYPE C" OIL, sold by Singer Sewing
Machine Company.
See inside front cover for description of these oils.
Before
starting the machine, remove the two oil
gauges E, Fig. 3, and fi ll the oil reservoirs in the sewing
hook saddles to the full mark on the gauges. Fill oil
reservoir in top of arm, through oil filler hole J, Fig. 4,
to high mark on oil sight H, Fig. 4. Push down and turn
oil control plunger G, Fig. 4 until it locks in down
position. Release plunger if machine is to be left idle
for more than an hour.
CAUTION: Oil control plunger G must be locked in
a
down position before starting machine.
Fig. 3. Showing Gauges
for Oil Reservoirs
To lubricate the hook gears and opener gears, a
generous supply of oil should be applied AT LEAST
TWICE DAILY to the two oil holes F, Fig. 3.
When machine is in continuous use, the oil level
in
the three reservoirs must be checked twice daily.
Fig. 4. Oiling Points
on the Machine
TO REGULATE OIL FLOW TO HOOK RACEWAY
The amount of oil received by the hook raceway
is very important. To check this, remove the bobbin
case. With the machine running, hold a small pi ece
of white paper near the hook for 15 seconds. Remove
the paper and a small spray of oil should be visible.
If no oil spray shows, check the oil level in the hook
saddle reservoirs.
Then tip the machine back, away from the operator
and loosen the oil control valve set screw J2, Fig. 20.
Return the machine to its upright position. Turn the oil
control valve screw L, Fig. S to the right for more oil
or to the left for less oil. If there is no increase of oil
noticeable on the test paper after 1/2 turn of the
From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

Fig. 5
control valve screw, remove the hook shaft cap screw
and check for interference of the oil flow.
After
each adjustment, a short test run should be
made; for additional oil, the short run is advisable
to allow the increase of oil to flow through to the oil
wick; for decreasing the flow of oil, the short run will
allow the excess oil to disperse. After each adjustment,
the oil control valve set screw J2, Fig. 20 should be
securely tightened.
NEEDLES
Needles for Machine 212w145 are of Class and
Variety 135 x 7 and are made in sizes 12, 14, 16,
18,
20 and 21.
The
above needles regularly have nickel finish, but
can be supplied with chromium finish if ordered.
The size of the needle to be used should be deter·
mined by the size of the thread, which must pass
freely through the eye of the needle. Rough or uneven
thread, or thread which passes with difficulty through
the eye of the needle will interfere with the successful
use
of the machine.
Orders for needles must specify the quantity re-
quired, the size number, and the class and variety
numbers separated by an X.
The following is an example of an intelligible order:
"100 No. 16, 135x7 Needles"
The best stitching results will be obtained by using
the needles sold by Singer Sewing Machine Company.
THREAD
Left twist thread should be used for both needles.
Either right or left twist can be used for the bobbins.
Hold the thread as shown. Turn the thread over
toward you between the thumb and forefinger of the
right hand; if left twist, the strands will wind tighter.
If right twist, the strands will unwind.
Fig . 6. How to determi ne the Twist

TO REMOVE THE BOBBINS
Draw out the slide plates in the bed of the machine.
Turn the machine pulley over toward you until the
needle bar moves up to its highest' point. Raise the
bobbin case latches K, Fig. 8 and lift out the bobbins.
TO WIND THE BOBBIN
Fasten the bobbin winder to the table with Its
driving pulley in line with and approximately 1I 4
inch from the machine belt, so that when thumb
latch E is pressed down, the driving pulley will make
firm contact with the machine belt, and when sufficient
thread has been wound on the bobbin, the driving
pulley will be automatically released from contact with
the belt.
OIL D
Fig. 7. Winding the Bobbin
Place the bobbin on the bobbin winder spindle and
push it on as far as it will go.
Pass the thread down through the thread guide (1)
in the tension bracket, around the back of and between
the tension discs (2). Then wind the end of the thread
around the bobbin a few times in the direction shown
in Fig. 7, press down latch E, moving the bobbin winder
pulley against the machine belt, and start the machine.
When sufficient thread has been wound upon the
bobbin, the bobbin winder will stop automatically.
If the thread does not wind evenly on the bobbin,
loosen the screw A in the tension bracket and move
the bracket to the right or left as may be required,
then tighten the screw.
The amount of thread wound on the bobbin is regu-
lated by screw B. To wind more thread on the bobbin,
turn screw B in. To wind less thread on the bobbin,
turn the screw out.
Bobbins can be wound while the machine is stitching.
When winding a bobbin with fine thread, a light
tension s hould be used. Adjust the knurled nut C, Fig. 7
to
regulate the tension.

TO PREPARE FOR SEWING
With the left hand, hold the ends of the needle
threads, leaving them slack from the hand to the
needles. Turn the machine pulley over toward you
until the needles move down and up again to their
highest point, thus catching the bobbin threads; draw
up the needle threads and the bobbin threads will
come up with them through the holes in the feed dog
(see Fig. 10). Lay the threads back under the presser
foot and close the slides.
Fig. 10. Drawing up the Bobbin Threads
TO START SEWING
Place the material under the presser foot, lower the
foot and start to sew, turning the machine pulley over
toward you.
TO REMOVE THE WORK
Have the thread take-up lever at the highest point,
raise the presser foot, draw the work back and cut
the threads close to the goods. Lay the threads back
under the presser foot,
TENSIONS
The needle and bobbin threads should be locked in
the center of the thickness of the material, thus:
Fig. 11 . Perfect Stitch
If the tension on the needle thread is too tight, or
if that on the bobbin thread is too loose, the needle
thread will lie straight along the upper surface of the
material, thus:
Fig. 12. Tight Needle Thread Tension
If the tension on the bobbin thread is too tight, or
if that on the needle thread is too loose, the bobbin
thread will lie stra i ght along the under side of the
material, thus:
Fig . 13. Loose Needle Thread Tension

TO REGULATE THE TENSIONS
The tensions on the needle threads are regulated by
the two thumb nuts 82, Fig. 15 at the front of the ten-
sion discs on the front of the machine . To increase the
tension, turn these thumb nuts over to the right. To
decrease the tension, turn the thumb nuts over to the
left.
The tensions on the bobbin threads are regulated
by means of the screw nearest the center of the tension
spring on the outside of each bobbin case .. To increase
the tension, turn the screw over to the nght. To de-
crease the tension, turn the screw over to the left.
TO REGULATE THE LENGTH OF STITCH
The number of stitches per inch is stamped on the
machine pulley, Fig. 4 located on the arm shaft.
To change the length of stitch, press down the
plunger 0, Fig. 4 in the bed of the machine and at the
same time turn the machine pulley slowly until the
plunger enters a notch in the adjustable feed eccentric
cam. Still holding the plunger, turn the machine pulley
over a part of a revolution until the desired number
of the stitches per inch on the machine pulley is oppo-
site the reference mark P, Fig. 4 on arm, then release
the plunger.
TO REGULATE THE PRESSURE ON MATERIAL
The pressure on the material is regulated by the
screw N, Fig. 14 at the back of the machine, the screw
acting on a flat spring. To increase the pressure, turn
this screw downward. To decrease the pressure, turn
this screw upward. The pressure should be only heavy
enough to enable the feed to move the work along
evenly.

B
HINTS FOR PERFECT OPERATION
Follow instructions and oil machine regularly.
The machine pulley must always turn toward the operator .
Do
not run the machine with presser foot resting on the feed without cloth under
the presser foot .
Do not run the machine when the bobbin cases and needles are threaded, unless
there is material under the presser foot.
Do not try to help the machine by pulling the fabric, lest you bend the needles.
The machine feeds the work without assistance.
The slides over the bobbin cases should be kept closed when the machine is in
operation.
Do not press on the knee lifter lever while the machine is in operation, as this will
prevent the work from feeding properly.
Occasionally remove the accumulation of lint from around the hooks and from
between the feed rows beneath the throat plate.
NEVER TOUCH THE STITCH REGULATOR PLUNGER WHEN THE MACHINE IS
RUNNING.
From the library of: Superior Sewing Machine & Supply LLC

THREAD CONTROLLER
The function of the thread controller spring is to
hold back the slack of the needle threads until the
point of each needle reaches the goods in its descent,
as without this controlling action of the spring, the
slack thread or silk (more especially silk) will sometimes
be penetrated by the points of the needles as the
needles are descending.
Fig. 15. Adjustment of Thread Controller
To change the thread controller stop for more con-
troller action on the threads, loosen the set screw Z,
Fig. 15 and turn the thread controller spring stop to
the right; for less action, turn the thread controller
spring stop to the left, after which securely tighten
the set screw Z.
It may be necessary to increase the tension of the
spring for coarse thread, or to decrease it for fine
thread.
To increase the tension of the thread controller on
the threads, loosen the tension stud set screw Y, Fig. 15
located nearly under the tension stud, and turn the
tension stud A2 slightly to the left with a screwdriver,
or to decrease the tension, turn it to the right and
retighten the stud set screw Y.
TO SET THE NEEDLE BAR
See that the needles are up in the holder as far as
they wi ll go. There are two lines across the needle bar
about two inches above the lower end. When the
needle bar is at its lowest position, the upper mark
should be just visible at the end of the needle bar
bushing.
If the needle bar is not correctly set, loosen the
needle bar connecting stud pinch screw M, Fig. 16
9
£:::4::.21
Fig. 16
and place the needle bar in the correct position as
directed , then retighten the screw M.
To set a needle bar which has no timing marks,
first set the feed eccentric so that there is no feeding
motion. Then set the needle bar so that when it rises
3/ 32 inch from its
lowest position and the points of
the sewing hooks ore at the centers of the needles,
the eyes of the needles will be about 1/16 inch below
the points of the hooks.
TO ADJUST HEIGHT OF SEWING HOOKS
On the upward stroke of the needle bar, with the
lower timing mark just visible at the end of the needle
bar bushing, the hook point should be 1/16 inch above
the eye of the needle.
To adjust hook, fasten the throat plate to the bed of
the machine with the bobbin case stop in sewing posi-
tion. A .032 inch shim should slide between bobbin
case stop and throat plate. If the shim is too loose,
turn the machine pulley so that the Allen screws
H2, Fig. 19 are accessible with an Allen wrench. Loosen
both screws and remove the cloth washer in the bob-
bin case, then turn the hook so that a hole in the bob-
bin case is in line with the hook height adjusting screw
J2, Fig. 19. By turning the adjusting screw down, the
hook is pushed higher. If the shim does not go between
bobbin stop and throat plate, turn the adjusting screw
left and press the hook down. Check the timing and
tighten the Allen screw H2. After the Allen screws are
tight, turn the adjusting screws J2, Fig. 19 just enough
to leave a small amount of tension.

-------- FROM -THE- NEE"Dl:ES --------- FROM - THcSEWfl'fG - KO"O KS
To prevent thn points of the hooks from dividing
the strands of the threads, they should run as 'close
to the needles (within the scarf) as possible.
Turn
the machine pulley over toward you until the
points of the sewing hooks are at the centers of the
needles. loosen the two screws N and the two screws
T, Fig. 17 underneath the bed of the machine and move
the hook saddles to the right or left, as may be re-
quired, until the points of the hooks are as close to
the needles as possible without striking them, then
securely tighten the four screws Nand T.
p R
Fig. 17
CAUTION: Make sure hook driving gears U, Fig. 17
are set correctly with relation to face of hook saddle.
Use .008 shim.
The function
of the needle guard G2, Fig. 19, which
is attached to the side of the sewing hook, is to
prevent the point of the hook from striking the needle,
if, when passing through the material, the needle is
deflected toward the hook.
The
needle guard can be bent with a small pair of
pliers until it prevents the hook point from striking the
needle, but it should not be bent outward enough to
deflect the needle from its normal path.
TO TIME THE SEWING HOOKS
Adjust the feed eccentric so that there is no feeding
motion.
Remove
the throat plate and turn the machine
pulley over toward you until the lower timing mark
across the needle bar is just visible at the lower end of
the needle bar bushing on the upward stroke of the
needle bar.
If the needle bar and sewing hooks are correctly
timed, the point of each hook will be at the center
of its needle and about 1I 16 inch above the eye.
If the sewing hooks are not correctly timed, turn
the machine pulley over toward you until the needle
bar has descended to its lowest point and has risen
until the lower timing mark across the needle bar is
just visible at the end of the needle bar bushing. Loosen
the two screws H2, Fig. 19 in the hub of each hook and
turn the hooks until the point of each hook is at the
center of its needle. Then securely tighten the two
screws H2.
Remove
the four hook gib screws W, fig. 18 from
the sewing hooks, lift off the hook gibs F2, Fig. 19 and
remove the bobbin cases X, Fig. 18.
CAUTION: This machine is equipped with chrome
plated bobbin cases, which should always be replaced
with chrome plated bobbin cases.
Fig . 18
TO REMOVE THE SEWING HOOKS
FROM THE MACHINE
Remove the presser foot, throat plate and feed dog,
then loosen two Allen set screws H2, Fig. 19 in hub of
hook and lift hook off end of shaft. In order to re-
move hook shaft, first remove screws in ball bearing
retaining cap directly under. the hook. Next, tip ma-
chine back and loosen set screws L2, fig. 20 in hook
shaft gears and lift hook shaft by top end. If shaft
does not lift out easily, loosen screws in cover plate
of hook saddle sufficiently to permit oil to drain out,
then remove cover, being careful not to damage the
gasket M2, Fig. 20, then tap end of hook shaft.
CAUTION: Each hook is equipped with a screw in the
hub for adjusting the vertical position of the hook
relative to the throat plate seat. When replacing or
installing new hooks, care must be taken to see that
the bobbin case stop finger fits correctly in the throat
plate. If it is too high, it will interfere with the free
passc;:~ge of thread. If it is too low, it may slip out
and cause damage to the hook and bobbin case.

Allen set screws in the hook hub, then turn the hook
until the adjusting screw appears beneath one of the
s in the bottom of the bobbin case. Hold the hook
against its seat with one hand, and with the
other hand, turn the adjusting screw with screwdriver
until the proper up and down position is attained.
Tighten Allen set screws in hub of hook.
To remove the ball bearing from the hook shaft,
rest the bearing on two pieces of sheet metal across
the open jaws of a vise with the shaft end up, 1ap
shaft until bearing is removed.
TO REMOVE THE HOOK SHAFT
FROM
THE HOOK SADDLE
Remove the needles, slide plates, throat plate and
feed dog. Turn the machine pulley, so that the Allen
screws in the hub of the hook are easy to reach with
an Allen wrench. loosen the Allen screws H2, Fig. 1'9
and lift the ho~k from the shaft. It may be necessary
to turn the machine pulley to bring the bobbin case
opener into the most open position.
Remove
both ball bearing retainer screws. Tip the
machine back away from the operator and with the
Allen wrench, loosen the screws in the hub of the
hook driving gears L2, Fig. 20. Pull the hook shaft
through the top.
If the hook shaft does not lift out easily, loosen
screws in cover plate of hook saddle sufficiently to
permit oil to drain out, then remove the cover, being
careful not to damage the gasket M2, Fig. 20, then
tap end of hook shaft.
The above procedure also applies to the removal
of the hook shaft gears.
TO ADJUST THE BOBBIN CASE OPENER
The bobbin case opener Y, Fig. 18 should be set so
that it touches the bobbin case as lightly as possible,
yet turns the bobbin case enough to make a sufficient
opening for the free passage of the thread between
the throat plate and the bobbin case.
TO ADJUST TIMING OF BOBBIN CASE OPENER
Fig. 20
11
Turn the machine pulley over toward you until
lowest timing mark on needle bar is even with end
of needle bar bushing. In this position, the mark
02, Fig. 18 on the flange of the opener driving shaft
should line up with the reference mark C2 Fig. 18
on hook saddle.
If opener shaft is out of time, tip machine back and
loosen set screws K2, Fig. 20 in opener driving gears,
then return machine to upright position and turn shaft
with screwdriver in E2, Fig. 18 at top end of shaft,
then tighten set screws K2, Fig. 20 in gears.
TO ADJUST THE FEED ROCK SHAFT BEARINGS
The feed rock shaft is carried in split bushings which
con be adjusted to toke up any wear which may occur.
loosen the two lock screws Q and R, Fig. 17 and turn
in the two adjusting screws P and S, Fig. 17 until all
lost motion of the rock shaft has been eliminated, then
securely tighten the lock screws Q and R.
TO RAISE OR LOWER THE FEED DOG
Usually when the feed dog is at its highest position,
it should show a full tooth above the throat plate.
Remove the throat plate. Clean the lint and dust
from between the feed points and replace the throat
plate. Tip the machine bock and turn the machine
pulley toward you until the feed dog is at its highest
position. loosen screw V, Fig. 17 in the feed lifting
com fork and raise or lower the feed dog, as may be
required. Then tighten the screw V.
When raising or lowering the feed dog, be careful
that its underside does not drop low enough to strike
the sewing hooks.
The feed dog should be set so that when the needles
ore down, they will be slightly in front of the center
of the needle holes (toward the operator); In case the
needles do not enter the holes in the feed dog correctly,
loosen the pinch screw 83, Fig. 17 and adjust the feed
dog as required, then securely tighten the pinch screw.
TO REMOVE TAKE-UP LEVER
Remove arm cover at top of machine, loosen set
screw U2, Fig. 22, and remove toke-up lever hinge
stud L, Fig. 16. lift toke-up lever out through slot in

THE FEED ECCE~IRIC -----------
The feed eccentric is provided with a gib P2, Fig. 21,
which can be adju s ted to take up any wear or loose
motion between the feed eccentric and the eccentric
body. To adjust the gib, loos en the two locking screws
Q2, Fig 21 nearest the gib, then turn the two adjusting
screws 02 against the gib until all play is eliminated
and the eccentric fits snugly in the slot in the eccentric
body. Securely tighten the two locking screws Q2.
Fig . 21
The spring R2 presses against the feed eccentric
cam to prevent it from moving out of position while
the machine is operating. The collar 52 may be moved
to the right or left to change the spring pressure. It
should ordinarily be set flush with the end of the hub
of the eccentric body.
TO REPLACE THE ARM SHAFT
CONNECTION BELT
Remove the needles to avoid damage while machine
is out of time. Slide the belt off lower pulley Z2, Fig. 23.
Loosen the two screws in the machine pulley and re-
move machine pulley and ball bearing which comes
out with the wheel. Lift the belt up and draw it around
the arm shaft through the space normally occupied by
the ball bearing.
Replace the belt through the ball bearing hole. After
placing the belt over the upper pulley T2, Fig. 22, re-
place the machine pulley. To remove all the end play
from the shaft, lightly tighten the set screws in the
machine pulley and, holding the needle bar crauk in
U2
Fig. 22
place, tap the machine pulley into position with the
palm of the hand, then tighten screws firmly. Turn
the machine pulley over toward you until the thread
take - up leve r is at its highest point. Then turn the
hook driving shaft until the arrow Z2, Fig. 23 on the
belt pulley is in line with the mark Y2, Fig. 23 on the
bed. Now, without disturbing either the arm shaft or
hook driving shaft, slip the belt over the lower pulley.
The feed will then be correctly timed with the needle .
