Thread the threads

Thread the threads

General information about threading

Threading is done in this order:

1. FIRST STEP lower gripper pink
2. SECOND STEP
upper gripper light green
3. THIRD STEP right needle green
4. FOURTH STEP left needle blue

Correct threading is important so that the stitches do not become irregular and
the thread does not break.

There are practical instructions for threading on the device behind the hook
cover 13 .
In addition, the thread guides are marked in different colors.

There are tweezers in the accessory box that make threading easier.

If it is necessary to thread one of the hook threads

again later (e.g. after the thread has broken), first
remove the threads from the needles to avoid the
threads becoming tangled.

Overview of machine settings

Overview of machine settings

The most favorable thread tension setting for one fabric is not necessarily the right one for another fabric.

The required thread tension depends on the stiffness and thickness of the fabric as well as the type and thickness of the thread.

The following table can help you find the correct thread tension, these are ideal example settings and are not the same for all materials and yarns. Always
try out the settings on a sample first.

Thread change

Thread change
Using the following procedure, changing the thread is very easy and saves
you having to completely re-thread it:
ÿ Cut the yarn above the spindle and tie a knot
the ends of the old and new thread together with a sailor's knot as
shown in the picture.
ÿ Raise the sewing foot 17 .

ÿ Bring the needle bar to its lowest position by turning the handwheel 38
towards you. Gently pull on the existing thread end of the yarn until the
connecting knots have passed the eye of the needle and the looper
eyes.

Handle
You can easily transport your machine using the handle 6 on the top of the
device.

Adjusting the stitch length

Turn the stitch length control 40 is displayed. until the desired length
,

The higher the number, the longer the stitch.

The stitch length is adjustable in the range from 1 to 5 mm.
Almost all overlock work is carried out with a stitch length of 2.5 to 3.5 mm.

Setting the stitch length

Adjusting the cutting width

Adjusting the cutting width

Depending on the material, it may be necessary to vary the cutting
width. Use a sample seam to check which seam width is suitable.
You can freely adjust the cutting width in the range of 3 to 4.5 mm.
To do this, proceed as follows:
1. Fold the gripper cover 13 down.
2. Bring the needles to the highest position by turning handwheel
38 .
3. Position the upper knife 14 as in the chapter “Notching the
,

“upper knife” on page 36 upwards, this makes it easier to

adjust the cutting width.
4. Turn the cutting width adjustment knob 45 to the desired setting.

5. The set cutting width is displayed on the front edge of the throat
plate.
The edge of the knife holder and the respective cutting width
marking on the stitch plate form a line when the desired stitch
width is set.
6. Return the upper knife to its original position and close the
gripper cover.

POINT OF VIEW

The fact that the edge of the fabric curls if the cut width is too large can be
used in some sewing projects and thus achieve beautiful seam effects.

Chain with three threads in a narrow and

This machine can be switched from four to three threads when linking.

ÿ Remove either the right or left needle (depending on the desired seam)
and the corresponding thread (see also “Replacing needles” on page
42).
Now the machine is ready for linking with three threads.
When using only the right needle, the cutting width can be adjusted
between 3 - 4.5 mm.

When using only the left needle, the cutting width is between 5.2 - 6.7 mm.

groove of the rotary knob to ensure a secure hold.

7. Close the hook cover again and continue your sewing

work.

8. To reactivate the knife, go in reverse

order.

CAUTION!

Danger of crushing!
The spring of the rotary knob of the knife holder is under strong
tension, which is why the rotary knob can snap back into the
starting position when it clicks back into its original position and
there is a risk of bruising your fingers.
ÿ Always hold the rotary knob firmly and let it click gently into the
starting position.

The sewing foot pressure is set correctly at the factory for all common
sewing jobs and does not need to be adjusted.
Should it still be necessary to adjust the sewing foot pressure, you can
regulate this using the sewing foot pressure adjustment screw 28 on
the top of the sewing machine.
1. Hold the handle up and insert the small screwdriver into the
opening of the adjustment screw.
2. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pressure or counterclockwise
to decrease pressure.

To restore the default setting, turn the screw
