Setup

Threading the Machine

Follow these steps to properly thread your sewing machine:

1. Install the sewing thread: Place the thread spool onto the designated pin.
2. Go through the dot: Guide the thread through the first guide point.
3. Through a wire clamping sheet: Pass the thread through the wire clamping sheet, ensuring it is not twisted.
4. Pass through the hook below: Guide the thread through the hook located below the clamping sheet.
5. Use a threading device to thread the needle hole: Insert the needle threader through the eye of the needle, loop the thread through the threader, and pull it back through the needle eye.
6. Thread the sewing thread through the threading machine: Ensure the thread is properly seated in all guides leading to the needle.
7. The machine is now ready for use after aligning the place to be sewn.

Operating Instructions

Once threaded, you can begin sewing. This machine creates a single chain stitch.

• Fabric Placement: Place the fabric under the cloth pressing plate, aligning the edge you wish to sew.
• Starting to Sew: Gently press the machine down, similar to a stapler. The machine will automatically move forward as it stitches.
• Movement: Move the machine from left to right along the desired stitch line.
• Stitch Security: Since this is a single chain stitch, ensure the last stitch is anchored to prevent the seam from unraveling. You may need to tie off the end or sew a few stitches back over the beginning.

Important Considerations:

• Please use a little force when sewing clothes to ensure proper stitch formation.
• The fabric thickness shall not exceed 0.8 mm.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly remove lint and thread scraps from the needle area and feed dogs using a small brush.
• Storage: Store the machine in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Needle Replacement: If the needle becomes bent or dull, replace it with a new one. Loosen the needle head screw, remove the old needle, insert the new one, and tighten the screw.
