• An example where adjustment is required • Ejemplo en que se requiere ajuste When stretch material is sewn without using the differential feed, the edge will be wavy. Al coser tejidos extensibles sin utilizar una alimentación con diferencial, su borde va a ser oleado. 4 To make the edge more smooth, adjust the feed ratio from 1.0 toward 2.0. (The feed ratio required depends on the elasticity of the material.
Before Threading Antes del enhebrado Preparation before threading Preparación antes del enhebrado Raise the telescoping thread tree to its highest position. Make sure that the thread holders are in alignment above the reel pins as illustrated below. Levante el árbol del hilo telescópico a su posición más alta. Compruebe que los corchetes de hilos queden alineados arriba de los ejes de carrete como se ilustra abajo.
How to use the thread spool cap Como utilizar el tope del carrete When using sewing thread spools, the thread spool cap should be used as illustrated below. Make sure that the spool notch is on the bottom. Cuando utilice carretes de hilo de coses, el tope del carrete debe emplearse tal como se ilustra abajo. Asegúrese de que la muesca del carrete quede hacia abajo.

The threads will entwine themselves into a chain automatically. el pedal y haga una cadeneta de unos 10 cm. Los hilos van a engancharse automáticamente en forma de cadena. NOTE: If the thread tension is not correctly balanced, the chaining-off result will be uneven. If this happens, pull the threads slightly.
Sewing Costura To start sewing Para empezar a coser • Thread the machine and pull the threads out • Enhebre la máquina y saque unos 15 cm de hilo • • • • about 15 cm (6 inches) behind the presser foot. Lift the presser foot and place the material well underneath the presser foot before starting to sew. Slowly sew a few stitches by turning the pulley by hand. The fabric will be fed automatically. You need only guide it in the required direction.
To remove work Para retirar el trabajo • When the seam is finished, keep the machine • Una vez terminada la costura, siga cosiendo a running at a low speed to obtain chaining-off. Then cut the stitches 5 cm (2 inches) from the work. If feeding for chaining-off is not enough, pull the thread gently. baja velocidad para formar una cadeneta. Luego, corte las puntadas a unos 5 cm del trabajo. Si la alimentación no resulta suficiente como para crear una cadeneta, tire suavemente del hilo.
10 To sew heavy materials Para coser tejidos gruesos • Place the material underneath the presser foot • Coloque el tejido debajo del prensatelas hasta until it touches the front of the upper knife. Start sewing. • Do not lift the presser foot while sewing. que toque la parte delantera de la cuchilla superior. Empiece a coser. • No levante el prensatelas al coser.
Presser foot pressure Presión del prensatelas • The pressure of the presser foot can be adjusted • La presión del prensatelas puede ajustarse al by turning the pressure adjustment screw at the top left of this machine.

Usually, when sewing on very light materials, the presser foot pressure should be loosened.
Troubleshooting This sewing machine is designed for trouble-free operation. However, the following chart indicates trouble which may occur if basic adjustments are not made properly. Trouble 1. Does not feed Cause Presser foot pressure too loose Turn the pressure adjustment screw clockwise to increase the presser foot pressure. 1. Needles bent, or needle tip blunt Replace with new needle. 2. Needles incorrectly installed Install needles correctly. (See page 5.) 3.
