Push the looper cover <8) fully to the right and then swivel it down. Each threading path and the mounting procedure for the converter are portrayed in color on the insi de of the machine. The threading method for the lower overedge looper 117) and the most common stitch types are shown sym bolically on the inside of the looper cover.
With synthetic threads which unwind too Use the spool centering piece (30) when se quickly from the spool, pull the spool net ac- wing with large spools (5000 10,000 ml, as cessory over the spool from below. Now shown in the illustration above. you can mount the spool on the spool hol der.
This machine has four different needle posi tions and can sew with a maximum of two needles at any one time. Retaining screw A belongs to the right overedge needle, retai ning screw B to the left overedge needle. Thread unreeling disc The thread unreeling disc (in the accessory box) is used for small spools.
To insert: Insert the needle into the hole of the needle changing aid, so that the flat needle shank (K) faces the flat side (LI of the aid accessory. Now insert the needle fully into the holder and tighten the fastening screw. Remove the needle changing aid.
Threading A color-coded threading diagram for quick reference is to be found behind the looper cover, i.e. inside the machine. Thread the individual threads - as shown - following steps 1 to 5. Place the spools on the spool stands (29). Notes on the spool net, thread unreeling disc and spool centering piece are to be found on pages 9 and 10.

Lay the thread from back to front over the right-hand side of the looper. Carefully pull the thread to the left and slightly down until it slips into notch B (= threading point 10) of the looper. Insert the thread from the front through the eye of lower overedge looper C (= threading point 11).
Threading 16 2-thread chainstitch looper (violet) Turn the handwheel in the direction of the arrow until the 2-thread chainstitch looper (18) is positioned at the extreme right. Insert the thread by following steps 1 to 11. Note: To facilitate threading, use the twee zers included in the accessory box.
Exception: Insert the thread along the path marked in pink through thread guides 4 to 12. Pull about four inches (10 cm) of thread through the looper and lay it to the left un derneath the presser foot. The thread guide 8 may only be used, when sewing the cover stitch.
Threading 18 Right and left overlock needle, Needle A and B (green and blue) Insert the thread by following steps 1 to 10. Note: To facilitate threading, use the twee zers included in the accessory box.

The needles must always be threaded last so that the needle threads do not run under the looper thread as seen in drawing 1, but instead over the looper thread as depicted in drawing 2. Should this sequence not be followed, thread breakage or missed stit ches will occur.
The pre-set presser foot pressure on the machine is suitable for medium-heavy ma terials. The presser foot pressure does not need to be changed for most materials.
Changing the presser foot Switch off the electrical power To remove: Raise the needle(s) to the hig hest position and lift the presser foot. Press the white lever at the rear of the presser foot holder. The sewing foot will be released automatically from the holder and can be removed to the left.

Differential feed If differential feed adjustment lever (34) is set to 0.5, the front feed dog moves half as fast as the rear feed dog, i.e. the front feed dog feeds through only half as much fabric as the rear feed dog. As a result, the fabric is stretched.
ther Inc (tin tnd iu nt al alec- Set differential feed adjustment lever (34) to 2.0 so that the front feed dog moves twice as fast as the rear feed dog, i.e. the front feed dog feeds through twice as much fa bric as the rear feed dog. As a result, the fabric is gathered.

These values show the distance to the need le, when the stitch width is set at 3.5 mm. Raise the presser foot and place the fabric under the presser foot so the needles pierce the fabric for the first stitch.
st a sr Sew 4 - 5 stitches on top of each other. Du ring the last stitch, turn the handwheel to wards you until the needles pierce the fabric and you have heard each needle “click” (just before the needles are in the lowest position). After the second “click” turn the handwheel back, until the needles are in the highest po sition.
