Sort the enclosed accessories into the correspon ding sections of the accessory compartment.
Preparing the machine for bobbin winding Hold the handwheel (5) firmly and turn the handwheel release disc (6) until it stops in the direction of the arrow. This stops the needle from moving while the machine is winding the bobbin. AAAA 4AAAA ( ) /‘i” Placing the bobbin Switch off the on/off switch (8). Place the empty bobbin so that the black pin of the bobbin winder (27) snaps into the slot of the bobbin. Push the bobbin to the right.
r tr w AAAAAAAA44A4 Winding the bobbin from the spool holder Place the sewing thread on the spool holder (24). To guarantee free movement of the thread and to give additional hold to the thread spool, fit an unwinding disk correspon ding to the size of the thread spool. Threading Place the thread into guide A and pull it through opening B to the right under the hook D. Wind the thread clockwise a few times around the bobbin.

Switch on the on/off switch Hold the end of the thread firmly and press the foot control.
1. Winding through the needle Even if the machine has been completely threaded, you can still wind the bobbin. Raise presser bar lifter (20). Pass the needle thread through the sewing foot and downwards; then through the right threading slot (17) and upwards. ,1 4 Pass the thread to the right under the guide hook D. Then wind the thread several times around the bobbin. Activate the foot control and winding the bobbin with the needle can be started.
__ - I I Hook cover Switch off on/off switch Hold the side of the hook cover (28) and open it towards you. Removing the bobbin case Raise the bobbin case cover and pull out the bobbin case. Release the cover and remove the empty bobbin. Thread tension To ensure perfect sewing and a durable seam, the top and bottom thread-tensions must be well adjusted to each other and the threads must be interlaced between the two fabric plies.
Inserting the bobbin Insert the full bobbin into the bobbin case . In doing so, pull the thread sideways throu gh slot A, then under the tension plate B until it rests in the opening (see arrow). Check: When you pull the thread, the bobbin mus t turn clockwise. Checking the bobbin thread tension Hold the bobbin case by the thread and pull the thread upwards sharply. The bobbin case must slip downwards a little with each hand movement.
4”. Threading the needle thread L.!’. Switch off the on/off switch Raise the presser bar lifter (20) and turn the handwheel until the take-up lever (19) has moved to the top.

Pass the thread through the lefthand threading slot (17) and downwards.
I Needle threader Models 6122, 6152, 6232) To make threading the needle easier and quiccker, you have been provided with the PFAFF needle threader (16). Lower the sewing foot (see next page). Turn the handwheel until the needle is at its highest posi tion. Place the needle thread under hook 0 and hold it taut. Move the needle threader fully downwards and turn it towards the needle so that the small hook R goes through the needle eye. Place the thread in to the hook from below.
/ ) Presser bar lifter Drawing up the bobbin thread The sewing foot is raised or lowered with the presser bar litter (20). Raise the sewing foot. Hold the needle thread and turn the hand wheel towards you until the needle is at the top again and the bobbin thread has formed a loop. Pull the needle thread to draw up the bobbin thread. Bobbin thread Thread trimmer Close the hook cover (28) and pull the thread under the sewing foot to the left.
/j\ Removing the sewing foot Turning off the main switch Position the needle at its highest point. Press the sewing foot upwards at the front and downwards at the back at the same time so that it disengages from the sewing foot holder (15). Check: Please check that the sewing foot is properly engaged by raising the presser bar lifter.
I The built-in dual feed/lOT System (Integrated Dual Transport) (Models 6122, 6152, 6232) PFAFF offers the ideal solution for sewing difficult materials: the built-in dual feed. This system feeds the material from the top and bottom simultaneously as is done in industrial sewing machines. The fabric is fed precisely. When sewing light or difficult materials such as silk and rayon fabrics, the dual feed prevents seam puckering.
Engaging the top feed (Models 6122. 6152, 6232) Important! For all sewing jobs with the top feed, only use sewing feet with cutout at the back. Raise the sewing toot. Then push the top feed Disengaging the top feed Hold the dual feed with two fingers at the marked places. Push the top feed (23) dovn little and out to the rear, and let it move slowly upwards lalso see the illustration or page 25>. (23) downwards until it snaps into place.

Explanation of the sewing chart The following charts show the recommen ded settings that you require for the rele vant sewing operations. These charts also provide you with further instructions that are necessary when sewing the selected programs. The choice of the sewing toot, the setting of the needle thread tension and whether the sewing is tarried out with the top feed swit ched on or off, Always use the “center” needle position ( if not otherwise specified in the instructions.
Need’e thread tension To ensure perfect sewing results, the needle and bobbin thread tensions must be perfectly tuned to each other, The normal setting for utility stitches is in the range 4 5. Check the tension with a broad zigzag stitch. The threads must be interlaced between the two fabric plies. If the needle thread tension is too high, the threads are interlaced above the top fabric ply. If the needle thread tension is too low, the threads are interlaced below the lower fabric ply.

For elastic materials and knits, the pushbutton key models offer overlock stitches which sew two fabric layers together and serge simultaneously. They are more elastic than normal seams, very durable and quickly sewn. Tip: We recommend using blind stitch foot No. 3 when sewing overlock seams. It guides particularly well and prevents the seam from puckering even on broad seams.
