To open work support 15, push it in the direction shown by the arrow. To close the work support, push it lightly until it locks. Selecting stitch types Stitch types 1 to 8 are illustrated on the machine behind the looper cover. The needle combinations (A, B and C) and the thread tensions used are colourcoded. A needle chart with the corresponding set screws is printed underneath. Important! While the looper cover or work sup port is open, power supply to the machine is interrupted. A Important! While the looper cover or work sup port is open, the power supply to the machine is cut off. Threading paths for different stitch types on the rear side of the waste box. On the righthand side the stitch types (1 to 8) with the corresponding threa ding points A are indicated. Each threading path has its own colour. Move the slide so that threading point A for the required stitch type (1 to 8) is coloured orange. Now thread all colourcoded threading paths, see pages 8 to 1 2. Indication B shows you whether the overedge looper must be engaged or disengaged (see pages 33, 34). Please note Only the eight stitch types on the rear side of the waste box can be set using the slide. Other sttch types are shown in the stitch selection table (pages 44 to 51). 7

10 Threading thread guides 2 and 34 Place thread spools on the spool pins. Threading must be done carefully. First thread up guides 2 according to colours. Then lift carrying handle 3 and place the thread in rear guides 34. Set the thread tensions at N and thread the machine in the following sequence: 1. right looper (red) 2. left looper (yellow) 3. right needle (green) 4. left needle (blue) Fold carrying handle 3 down again. Needle combinations In the table behind looper cover 12 the needle combinations for stitch types 1 to 8 are indicated. Remove any needles not in use by loo sening their set screws A, B or C (for needle change see page- 40). 8

19 Points to remember during sewing! Sew the first stitches siowy. If the machine has been rethreaded, place the fabric under sewing foot 8 and push it up to the needle before starting to sew. Since the fabric is fed automatically, do not pull or push the fabric. Use your hands for guiding only Thread cutter In order to use thread cutter 42 it is necessary to sew beyond the end of the seam. Draw the resulting thread chain through the thread cutter from the rear (see bottom illustration). Securing the seam Knot the thread chain. For knit fabrics, a crochet needle can be used to pull the thread chain into the seam. Or: Sew about two inches beyond the end of the seam. Turn the workpiece around and sew a few stitches over the seam just sewn without cutting the thread chain. 17

Before you work with converter 40 the right looper thread must be cut and unthreaded from the looper eye. All seams with converter 40 are only sewn with left looper 32 and one or two needles (see page 27). The left looper thread placed over right looper 31 must be pulled over the point of the right looper in the direction of the arrow as shown in the illustra tion. Push the slide of converter 40 to the left until the triangular symbols are aligned with each other. As you do so the point of the slide must engage in the eye of the looper, see Fig. A. Converter engaged = position A Converter disengaged = position B Disengaging the converter Turn hand wheel 11 slowly until the left looper thread drops from the point of right looper 31.

Now turn the hand wheel until you feel the pushlock snap in. Continue holding the pushlock pressed and set the stitch length as described on page

32 Setting the stitch length Still holding pushlock 39 (see page 29), now turn hand wheel Ii to set the required stitch length at mark A. The stitch length settings range from 1 mm to 4 mm. The numbers on the hand wheel indicate the stitch length in mm. When you have set the required stitch length, release pushlock 39 again. Please note: The hand wheel cannot be turned beyond stitch length 1 or 4. 30

33 Adjusting the differential feed The differential feed prevents interply shift. It consists of two feed dogs, arranged one behind the other, which simultaneously take hold of the workpiece and move it. The feed amount of either feed dog can be set separately. It is possible to have the workpiece moved more by the front feed dog than by the rear one, and vice versa. Due to this, very good sewing results are achieved. Set the differential feed according to the material you wish to sew (see table on page 32). The following settings are possible using button 16: Setting 0.5 = Short stroke of front feed dog, long stroke of rear feed dog Setting Setting 1.5 to 2 = Same stroke of both feed dogs = Long stroke of front feed dog, short stroke of ear feed dog The differential feed is infinitely variable from 0.5 to 2, also during sewing. Note: The following variants can be employed to obtain fashionable effects on garments: The gather effect is obtained at a differential feed setting of when light fabrics are sewn. The waved effect is obtained at a differential feed setting of 0.5 when medium to heavy elastic fabrics are sewn. 31

34 This table indicates possible settings of the differential feed. Carry out a sewing test to find out the correct setting for your fabric. The differential feed can also be set during sewing.

56 Cleaning the knives Disengage the upper knife (see top of page 33. Use the lint brush (accessories) to remove lint from upper and lower knife. Oiling the machine: Every time you use the machine, apply a little oil to the places indicated. The bushes and other important moving parts are made of special material and need oiling only once or twice a month. One or two drops of PFAFF sewing machine oil are sufficient. 54
