Note:
1. The definition of the fabric thickness:
Thin (fabric): two layers of the fabric thickness < 0.35mm;
Thick (fabric): two layers of the fabric thickness > 0.8mm;
Regular (fabric): two layers of the fabric thickness ≥ 0.35mm and ≤ 0.8mm.
2. The definition of elastic cloth:
If the cloth, which size is "100mm x 30mm", is extending to over 106mm under 0.5KG
tension force, then the cloth is defined elastic, otherwise it is inelastic.
3. Hard fabric: such as Jeans, fine canvas, etc.
4. Soft fabric: such as towel, duster, etc.
MORE TIPS
1. Make sure there is fabric under the needle when the machine is working and needle is moving,
otherwise the machine will get stuck and the thread will be jammed.
2. Turn the hand wheel for 2 to 3 circles by hand to test if it goes smoothly or not before starting the
machine. Direction to turn the hand wheel should be the same as the arrow's direction on the hand
wheel.
3. Make sure the machine was threaded correctly (do not forget any step or have wrong threading).
4. Do not sew the cloth with too much elasticity, neither too thin (like silk) nor too thick cloth, please
follow the IM for the applicable cloth.
5. If the machine gets stuck or jammed due to wrong operation, turn off the power & speed switch
immediately.
6. Before winding the bobbin, please take out the bottom bobbin and the upper thread.
