Gimp thread
Caution: Danger of injury !
The gimp thread must only be threaded in when the sewing machine is
switched off or in the "Threading mode" (see chapter "Threading mode").
–
Thread in the gimp thread as shown in the illustrations.
–
Leave an approx. 25 mm long gimp end hanging out of the gimp
hole of the throat plate.
Caution: Danger of injury !
The automat must only be swivelled up when the machine is switched
off or in the "Threading mode" (see chapter "Threading mode").
For various operations (e.g. for threading the looper thread or the gimp
thread) the automat has to be swivelled up.
Swivelling up:
–
Pull the locking bolt 1 and lift the automat at the front.
–
Let the locking bolt 1 go again and snap it in a drill-hole (maybe
you have to swivel the automat up and down a little).
–
You should not let the automat go before the locking bolt 1 has
snapped in.
Swivelling down:
–
Keep hold of the automat and pull the locking bolt 1.
–
Swivel the automat down slowly.
Hint!
If the automat is swivelled up very high, the effect of the
gas-pressurized spring braking the swivelling down is low at first.
Therefore keep hold of the automat when you swivel it down.
Operating the automat when it is swivelled up can lead to injuries and
damage.
The looper turret has been turned 90° counter clockwise in
order to show clearly the thread guide of the gimp thread.
