Page 29 Threading the loopers and needles 6. First, guide the thread through the thread guide for both needle threads. 7. Guide the thread through the lower slit on the thread guide for the needle yarn. 8. Hook the thread in the left thread guide for the needle bar and then thread it through the needle eye of the left needle from front to back.
Page 30: Test Run
Test run Test run When yarn has been threaded for the ﬁ rst time, or yarn has been re-threaded after a torn thread during sewing, proceed as follows: 1. Raise the presser foot by lifting up the lever (20) on the back of the appliance. 2.
Page 31: Adjusting The Thread Tension

Page 40: Changing The Thread
Changing the thread Changing the thread The following approach makes changing the thread extremely simple, removing the need to completely re-thread. 1. Raise the presser foot (13). 2. Set the thread tension for the desired thread to -5 to loosen it fully. 3.
Page 41: Setting The Stitch Length
Setting the stitch length Setting the stitch length Turn the stitch length control (23) until the desired length is shown. The higher the number, the longer the stitch. The stitch length can be set from F (~1 mm) to 4 mm. Most overlocking work is carried out with a stitch length of 3 mm.
Page 42: The Ideal Cutting Width
Setting the cutting width 4. The cutting width set is shown on the front edge of the throat plate. When the desired stitch width is set, the edge of the knife ﬁ tting and the respective cutting width marking on the throat plate line up. 5.
Page 43: The Cutting Width Is Too Narrow
Setting the cutting width The cutting width is too narrow The loops of the looper threads are too far over the edge of the fabric. 1. Turning the cutting width setting control anti- clockwise moves the lower knife to the right and increases the cutting width.
Page 44: Disengaging The Upper Knife

Page 50 Stitch ﬁ nger control The stitch ﬁ nger control must be set to "S" for all standard overlock stitches. 1. Switch off the machine. 2. Open the front ﬂ ap. 3. Disengage the upper knife (26), as described in section “Disengaging the upper knife” on page 4.
Page 51: Differential Feed
Differential feed Differential feed The differential feed prevents seams from becoming wavy on knit fabrics and prevents layers of fabric from slipping. It also prevents lightweight fabrics from puckering. Functionality The machine has two sets of feed dogs, one front set (A) and one rear set (B).
Page 52: Positive Differential Feed
Differential feed Positive differential feed With positive differential feed, the front feed dogs (A) move further than the rear feed dogs (B). This "amasses" fabric under the presser foot, preventing the fabric from becoming wavy. Negative differential feed With negative differential feed, the front feed dogs (A) do not move as much as the rear feed dogs (B).
Page 53: Setting The Differential Feed
Differential feed Setting the differential feed The differential feed is set by turning the differential feed control (28). The feed can also be set while sewing. Use the following table to select a setting: Application Feed type Setting Positive Non-wavy seams, de- differential 1–2 sired puckering...
Page 54: Setting The Presser Foot Pressure
Setting the presser foot pressure Setting the presser foot pressure The presser foot pressure is set correctly for all common sewing tasks as standard and does not need to be adjusted.
