3. PRIMARY PREPARATION Unpacking your TOYOTA 8000 Before commencing to sew, let's learn a little about your machine by reading through this instruction book carefully. Start by placing your TOYOTA 8000 on the table and remove the compartment by drawing it out in the direction of the arrow, Connecting Foot Control and Power Cord Before plugging in your TOYOTA 8000, be sure that the voltage is the same as that of your TOYOTA 8000.
Attaching the Extension Plate ML_ For ordinary sewing, the exten- sion plate will make your work easier. A •...........,.--•the Carefully place the extension .......... plate on the free arm, levelling the extension plate with the face of free arm and turn down the extension plate support legs with the left hand. Then pin (A) on the back side of the extension plate will engage automatically in the corresponding hole (B) in free arm.
Changing the Light Bulb Disconnect mains power. Open the face plate as shown opposite. Unscrew bulb by turning counterclockwise. Replace bulb. Reconnect mains power. Removing the Bobbin Case Open the shuttle cover towards you and turn the hand wheel until the needle reaches its highest position. I With right thumb and index finger, open the hinged latch (A) at the front of the bobbin case and withdraw the bobbin case from the holder post.
Winding the Bobbin Holding the hand wheel firmly with the left hand loosen the hand wheel by turning the stop motion knob towards you. This disengages the stitching mechanism automatically. Take an empty bobbin from the accessory box and place the bobbin on the winder spindle. Then draw the thread from the reel through the thread guide (A) and turn clockwise round A 03 the pre-tension device (B) as shown in the picture.
Inserting the Bobbin When the bobbin is wound, place it inside its case. Make sure that the thread runs in the direction of the arrow. Threading the Lower Thread Slide the thread into the slot on the edge of the bobbin case. The thread is pulled in under the tension spring. Also check that the bobbin rotates in the direction of the arrow when the thread is pulled. When straight and zigzag stitching, pass the bobbin thread through the thread guide on bobbin case.
Inserting the Bobbin Case After checking that the needle bar is in its highest position, insert the bobbin case the opposite way you removed it. Choice of the Needle The Flat machine is fitted with needle size No.14 type 705. You will also find a number of spare needles in the accessory box. Before changing the needle, check if needle is bent or blunt. 0 Changing the Needle With the needle bar in the highest position, loosen the needle clamp screw.
Changing the Foot The presser foot quickly and easily snaps off and on the shank. f/ Raise the presser bar lifter and make sure that the needle is in its highest position. Then snap down the clamping lever to remove it. Center the new presser foot under the shank. Lower the presser bar lifter so that the shank opening fits over the presser foot pin. Feet holder is changed by loosening the presser foot screw.
Threading the Upper Thread Turn the hand wheel towards you to raise the take-up lever to its highest position and place the spool of thread on the left-hand spool pin. Lead the thread through all the threading points as shown opposite. Thread the take-up lever from back to front, guiding the thread down over top of lever and then up into the eyelet. I, II Thread the needle eye from front to back, pulling about 1 m of the thread.
Drawing up the Lower Thread Hold the end of the upper thread with your left hand. Turn the hand wheel towards you slowly until the needle and the take-up lever move down and up again, then stop the hand wheel. Pull the upper thread slowly so that the lower thread will be brought up in a loop. You should never pull the upper thread too hard as this may bend the needle. Pull both ends of the threads out about 15cm from under the foot and place them either to the left or right of the presser foot as shown.

SsTRAIGHT STITCHING We begin by sewing a straight stitch which is the seam most frequently used. Set your TOYOTA 8000 as shown opposite. S=1 1"1 Starting Sewing With presser foot up, turn the hand wheel towards you and penetrate needle in the fabric positioning about 10mm in from the edge of the fabric. To reinforce the seam at the 1/ beginning you sew in reverse to the edge of the fabric. A sewing, release the reverse button and commence forward sewing by gently pressing down the foot control.
Foot Controller The speed of the machine is regulated solely by increasing or decreasing pressure on the foot control. You should never try to increase the feeding by pulling the fabric or slow it down by pulling the fabric. Turning comers Slow the speed as you approach the corner and stop a stitch away from the corner. Then turn the hand wheel towards you manually to position the needle in the fabric at the pivot point.
Cloth Guide The cloth guide is used for stitching close to the fabric, or to make a wide hem up to 5mmhi in a straight and uniform line.. Place the guide in the hole to the right of the needle plate on the bed of the machine and tighten the thumb screw firmly, adjusting the guide to the desired position. Run the machine with the edge of the fabric touching the guide. It is also available in stitching a curved seam.
Tension of lower thread: If it is necessary to adjust the tension of the lower thread, take out the small screwdriver from the accessory box and adjust the tension. Fit it in the screw on the tension spring and turn it not more than 1/10th of a turn to the left if the thread tension is too tight, to the right if it is too loose. 6.

Jj The upper tension should be slightly weaker than in the case of straight sewing. The height of the raised seam is adjusted by means of the thread tension the harder the thread tension, the higher the seam will be. If you wish to sew several parallel seams, you can use the quilting guide as an edge guide. A pintuck is formed by the bobbin thread which pulls the two top threads together, so that the fabric between the needles rises and forms a tuck.
Crease a double 3 mm fold for about 5 cm along the edge of the fabric to be hemmed. U Place the folded edge under the presser foot and turn manually the hand wheel towards you several times. With the needle being in the fabric, raise the presser foot and insert the folded edge into the mouth of the foot. Then lower the presser foot and let the machine feed it, guiding it somewhat with your right hand not to slide out of the hemmer.
