13 Changing threads The following is an easy way to change threads: 1. Cut the thread in use near the spool, behind the guides on the telescopic thread stand. 2. Remove the thread spool and place the new thread on the spool pin. 3. Tie the end of the new thread to the end of the old thread.
14 Thread tension settings Set the thread tension to suit the type of fabric and thread used. As the number on the thread tension discs increases, the thread tension becomes tighter. Lower looper thread and upper looper thread should be well balanced with the same tension (both looper threads should cross at the edge of the fabrics).
15 Differential feed adjustment The differential feed system consists of two sets of feed teeth arranged one behind the other. Both feed teeth work independently of each other to give perfect results when sewing on speciality fabrics.
16 Presser foot pr essure adjustment The presser foot pressure is pre-set for sewing based on normal conditions. Adjustment might in some conditions be necessary. Increase or decrease the pressure until you are satis À ed with the result. Always test sew on a sample of your fabric before sewing on your garment.
17 Stitch À nger lever setting The stitch À nger lever should be set to “S” for all standard overlock sewing. To sew rolled edge you need to retract the stitch À nger by setting the stitch À nger lever to “R”. When moving the stitch À nger, be sure to push the lever as far as it will go in each direction.
18 Flatlock sewing A Flatlock Stitch is made by adjusting the tension of the 2- or 3-thread overlock stitch, sewing the seam and pulling the fabric apart to Á atten the seam.
19 Corded overlock Corded overlock can be used to strengthen stitches when joining elastic fabrics such as knits. Cording prevents knit fabrics from stretching and also stabilize the seams. 1. Insert the cord through the hole in the front of the foot.
20 Machine maintenance An overlock requires more frequent maintenance than a conventional machine for two reasons: - A lot of lint is produced when the cutters are cutting the the fabric. - An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs to be oiled frequently to lubricate the internal working parts.
21 1 2 3 Replacing the stationary cutter Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine. The stationary cutter should be changed when it becomes dull. The stationary cutter can be replaced according to the following directions. If you are having any dif À culties, consult your dealer to make the necessary adjustments.
