Presser Foot Lifter; Transport Cover Plate; Using The Free-Arm; Spooling The Lower Thread - Pfaff 1080S Operation And Safety Notes

Presser foot lifter

There are three positions for the sewing foot.
1. Presser foot in the lowest position: for sewing.
2. Presser foot in the middle position: to insert and
take out the fabric being sewn.
3. Presser foot in the top position: to change the
presser foot and removal of especially heavy
weight fabric.

Transport cover plate

Use the transport cover plate when you want
to switch off the automatic transport of the ma-
chine for sewing on buttons, free-hand sewing
and darning. You can then guide and move the
fabric yourself. For installation, bring the needle
and presser foot to the top.
Lay the transport cover plate onto the needle
plate in such a way that the lower notches en-
gage into the bores.

Using the free-arm

You can use your machine both as a free-arm
and as a flat-bed machine. When the exten-
sion table is fitted, you will have more working
space than on a flat-bed model.
To remove, hold the extension table with both
hands and pull it away from the machine.
To insert, push the extension table into the right
position until it engages.
Without the extension table, the machine can
be used as a free-arm sewing machine to sew
children´s clothing, cuffs, trouser legs and
other inaccessible places.

Spooling the lower thread

Ensure that you are using class 15 J
bobbins.
1. Put the thread reel onto the reel holder and
secure it with the small spool cap. Draw the
thread from the reel through the thread guides,
as shown in the picture.
2. Draw the end of the thread through the hole in
the bobbin (see picture).
3. Press the bobbin as far as possible to the left,
(if the bobbin is not on the left). Place the bob-
bin on the winder so that the end of the thread
is pointing upwards. Now press the winder to
the right until it clicks and hold the end of the
thread.
4. Start the machine. The winder will stop itself
when the bobbin is full. Press the winder to the
