Setting the cutting width

 

Exchanging needles

The appropriate cutting width is, from material to material, variable. Each time test the seams and adjust the cutting width as follows:

1.Turn the handwheel 6 towards yourself until the needles are in the lowest position.

2.Open the front flap 8.

3.Press the lever PUSH f. The free arm 0 lowers itself and the adjustment wheel for the cutting width i can be seen.

4.Turn the djustment wheel for the cutting width i. With this you move the lower blade p. Continue turning it until the looper threads are lying at the edge of the material. When you turn in the direc- tion W (wide), the cutting width is broader.

When you turn in the direction N (narrow), the cutting width is narrower.

Examples:

Select a narrower cutting width if the material edges ruffle during sewing. For this, turn the adjustment wheel for cutting width i to the right (N).

Select a larger cutting width if the yarn is being sewed beyond the material edge. For this, turn the adjust- ment wheel for cutting width i to the left (W).

Attention!

Before exchanging the needles, remove the power plug. This prevents an unintended starting of the ma- chine. If you do not, you run a risk of serious injury!

1.Turn the handwheel 6 towards yourself until the needles are in the highest position.

2.Open the front flap 8 and lower the sewing foot o.

3.Loosen the setscrew against the needle with the Allen key from the accessories box and then re- move the needle:

-upper left setscrew for the left needle

-lower right setscrew for the right needle.

4.Insert the new needle, with the flat side to the rear, into the needle mounting. Ensure that the needle is inserted as far as is possible. Secure the needle by retightening its setscrew.

When the needles have been correctly fitted, the left needle stands a little higher than the right needle. If the needles have not been correctly inserted, stitches will occasionally be left out when sewing.

This machine is equipped with needles of the type H.Ax1 (Needle system 130H) (for household ma- chines).
