NEEDLE Home use needle (SCHMETZ 130/705H) should be used. Back Flat To remove the needle 11 Turn the main power switch to off. 2) Turn the handwheel anticlockwise by hand until the needle is in its highest position. 3) Loosen the needle set screw with screw driver 46D460D or hexagonal wrench (56056ODi56OED) and remove the needle . To insert the needle 1) Turn the main power switch to off. 2) Turn the handwheel until the needle bar is in its highest position.
MOTOR * The maximum operating speed of this sewing machine is 1,500 stitches per minute, which is quite fast compa red to the operating speed of 600 to 800 stitches per minute for the ordinary home sewing machine. It should be noted that the motor of this sewing machine turns in the same direction as the motor in an ordinary home sewing machine. The bearings in the motor are made of special, sintere d oil-impregnated alloy mounted in oil-soaked felt to withstand long hours of continuous operation.
SETTING UP YOUR MACHINE Connect the machine to the power supply. Raise the thread guide pole and set tiv the positioning stopper at the joint of the tipper and lower sections. Make sure that the thread holders are right above the reel support. Place thread reels on reel suppdrt NOTE How to use thread spool cap and net Thread spool cap When you use a wooden thread reel, use the thread spool cap as illus trated.
THREADING Before threading... 1) Turn off the main power switch for safety. 2) Raise the presser food by means of the presser foot lever. When the presser foot is raised, the two thread tension discs in the thread tension control panel are released so that thread runs clearly between them. Otherwise correct thread tension cannot be obtained. 3 Set the needle bar in its highest position by turning the handwheel toward you. In this position, you can thread all parts, i.e.
Threading overlooper Run the thread in the sequence illustrated. 4601460D If overlooper thread breaks during sewing Underlooper thread sometimes hangs on overlooper. In such a case, lower the overlooper by turning the handwheel and take the underlooper thread ott from overlooper. Then re-thread the overlooper.
Threading underlooper -- - Run ihe thread in the sequence illustrate d. Easy threading rechanism a Pull out the undertooper thre ading lever. b Thread the underlooper and position the thread on hook of the underlooper thre ading lever. c Push the underlooper threadin g lever back to .ts basic position while holding the end of the thread. CAUTION! When pushing the underloope r threading lever, always make sure that the two red triangle marks meet each other as per illustra tion.
Threading needles CAUTION Thread the needles after threading of underlooper and overlooper.
SEWING To start sewing * Thread the mach ine and pull the threads abo ut 15 cm (6 inches) away from you behind the prser foot. * Place a spare piece of the fabric you intend to use under the presser foot and sew a few stitches by turn ing the handwheel towards you by hand. * Check the stitc h formation produced to see if it is uniforrt. If npt, re-check that the threading has been carried out correctly. Operation Turn on the main power swit ch and lamp switch.
STITCH SELECTION 560!560D1560E0 *These machines can form three kinds of stitches in simple steps follows: as 1. Four-thread overlock stitch (5, 6, 7 mm) Use all four threads and two needles for producing four-th overlock stitches, which will read neatly fit all kinds of materia ls, especialls’ knitted ones. Use: Ideal for sewing kni tted garments 2. Three-thread overlock stitch (5. 6,7 mm) Use three threads and left needle, producing 5. 6. or 7 mm seams. which will fit all kinds of materials.
46014600 Three-thread overlock stitch (3—5 mm) Use three threads and one needle, producing 3—5 mm seams, which will fit all kinds of materials. Use: For overlock stitching and sewing suits, blouses, slacks, etc. j NOTE I OptonaI stitches t Optional special presser feet are necess ary for those stitches.

If you find it impossible, adjust accord ing to the drawing. The thread tension of this machine can be adjusted by the thread tension adjustment levers for the two (one) needle thread(s), the overlooper thread and the underlooper thread.

STITCH LENGTH AND STITCH WIDTH Stitch Stitch (ength Open the control cover, then set the stitch length control lever in the proper position. Minimum 1 mm (position RI Maximum 5 mm (position 5) 1—2 mm for narrow/rolled hem (optional) Stitch Width The stitch width can be adjusted through turning the stitch width control dial inside the control CO\ e CAUTION! When adjusting the sutch width control dial. always raise the presser foot lever.
STITCH WIDTH AND CUTTING WIDT H FINE ADJUSTMENT MECHAN ISM When you sew elastic materials like e.g. knitted garments, you sometimes will find that the garments are not properly over cast because of contraction of the mate rial after cutting. When this occurs you can eliminate the problem by fine adjustment of the stitc h width control dial through keeping the stitch width and increasing the cutting width. This unique Homelock feature will ensure a satisfacto ry sewing result also on knitted materials .
DIFFERENTiAL FEED M ECHANISM What is “differential feed ratio”? The machine is equipp ed with two feeders, of which the front one (the difterential feeder) can be adjust ed to feed more or less in relation to the rear one (the main fee der). It is adjustable betwe en 0.7—2.0. The exa ct adjustment is dependent on the thi ckness and elasticity of the material. The stitch length also affect s the adjustment. Th e longer the stitch the more material is being fed forwards.
N)
PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE * tcmr The pressure of the presser toot can be adjusted b’ turning the pressure adjustment dial. Since the machine has already been adjusted to a pressure suitable for light and medium fabrics, no further adjustment is necessary except when sewing vçry heavy or very light and elastic material. Decrease Heavy material Increase Standard position STITCH TONGUE NOTE 560/560D!560ED DON’T TOUCH THE STITCH TON GUE CHANGING KNOB.

CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB CHANGING THE LIGHT BULB Remove the cover as illustrated. Pull out the light bulb, insert the new bulb and replace the cover. Use correct light bulb. Maximum Rated input of bulb: 8V, 2.4W Recording #: X50228001 RETRACTING THE BLADE In case you wish to sew without cutting, set the needle above the needle plate and retract the blade by means of retracting knob. CAUTION Make sure that the seam allowance on material is not wider than the stitch width you have chosen on the machine.
MAINTENANCE Oiling For smooth and silent operation the moving parts of the machine should be oiled periodically. (See illustration.) REMARKS: 1. OIL ONCE OR TWICE A MONTH IF THE MACHIN IS USED NORMALLY. IF THE MACHINE IS USED MORE OFTEN, OIL ONCE A WEEK. ALWAYS USE HIGH QUALITY SEWING MACHINE OIL. 2. After oiling, run the machine without thread. Wipe off excess oil with a scrap piece of cloth to avoid oil stains. Cleaning Open front cover (see page 1.
PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS FAULT-FINDING Probable cause Problem 2. Needle breaks. (1) Needle bent, or needle tip blunt. Insert new needle. (See page 5) (2) Needles incorrectly set. Re-set needle. (See page 5) (3) Fabric has been pulled. Do not press or pull fabric—guide it gently. (1) Improper threading Re-thread machine (See page 8—il) (2) Thread tangled. Check spool pin,, thread holders, etc. and remove tangled thread. (3) Thread tension too tight.
