Pull the mains plug.

Set the seam width only with the machine turned off.

At the setting "cutting after sewing" the buttonhole width is arrived at as follows:

Buttonhole width = Cutting area + 2 x seam width

Setting the seam width

–

Loosen the wing nut 2.

–

Move the connecting rod 3.

Movement in direction A = wider seam

Movement in direction B = narrower seam

–

Tighten the wing nut 2 again.

Setting for sewing with gimp thread

–

Select the seam width so that the gimp thread is not pierced by the needle tip but

rather just still overcast.

Smallest and greatest allowable seam width

The smallest and greatest allowable seam width for the sewing device used (E no.) is

determined by the limit plate attached with screw 1.

Should the machine be converted to another sewing device (E no.) umgerüstet werden,
