12 Darning and Mending. n order to move the fabric freely in any direction for darning and mending, release the pressure cap B completely by pressing down on the snap lock, A, Fig. 20. Turn the knob to DN position, which drops the feed well below the needle plate. To return feed to normal, return knob ii T to i. PREPARNG TO SEW Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break. NEVER run machine without material under the presser foot. Fig. 20 Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. Turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle is at its highest point. You are now ready to begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control. REMOVNG THE WORK Be sure to stop the machine when the thread take-up lever and needle bar are at the highest position. Now raise the presser foot and draw the fabric back and to the left,

14 it operating smoothly-how often depends on the amount of sewing you do. Before oiling the upper part of the sewing unit at points indicated by arrows in Fig. 22 turn hand wheel toward you until the take-up lever is at its lowest point. Avoid over - oiling - only a drop is needed at each point. To oil parts under the bed of the machine, tip the unit back on its hinges and apply a drop of oil at each point indicated in Fig. 23. HOW TO REPLACE LGHT BULB See 21, Fig. 1) Pull light bracket down by hooking index finger tip on curved piece under light bulb. Unscrew bulb and replace with bulb of same size, which is available from your sewing machine dealer. Fig. 24 Fig. 25 Fig. 26

15 HOW TO CHANGE THE BELT f it should ever become necessary to replace the belt on your machine, the hand wheel must first be loosened and moved out. To do this, follow these instructions: 1. Remove clutch nut A in center of wheel by taking out the small screw B near the edge, Fig. 24. Turn nut counter * clockwise until it can be lifted off. 2. Before moving the hand wheel, note the position of the washer, C, Fig. 25, which fits under the clutch nut. t may fall out when you are changing the belt. 3. Pull hand wheel away from the machine carefully, Fig. 26. Pull it just far enough to make the grooved section which holds the belt accessible. 4. Slide old belt over hand wheel and over pulley on the end of motor. 5. Slide new belt into grooved section and over motor pulley. 6. Push hand wheel back against the machine. 7. f washer C has fallen off, replace so that the lips D are pointing toward the clutch nut. 8. Replace nut and tighten screw securely. After doing this, turn the clutch toward you to disengage the sewing mechanism. f the needle still moves up and down as you turn the hand wheel, again remove the clutch nut. Give the washer a half turn and replace the nut.
