‘I Setting the standard thread tension Uniform thread tension depends on the type of fabric and the thickness of the thread. The thread tension should be corrected after the thread interloop has been- checked (see page 43 to 47). Turn the values indicated on the thread tension thumbwheels to the corresponding colour symbol.

Prog. 4 or 5 3 thread overlock seam (narrow or wide) The 3 thread overlock seam is sewn with two looper threads and one needle thread (needle change page 29). The set seam widths 3 to 5 mm in the window (19) only apply to needle C. If needle B is used, the setting is increased by 2,2 mm (seam width 5,2 to 7,2 mm).
Converter A serging seam is generally sewn with 3 threads. If you connect the converter you can dispense with one thread i.e. you just continue to sew with 2 threads and thus save a lot of thread. Wherever a 2 thread seam is enough i.e. for elastic materials and materials that hardly fray, you can still make neat edges with less thread.
The left hand thread that runs over the right looper must be pulled over the poin of the right looper in the direction of the arrow as in this illustration.
