Setup

1. Install the Coil: Install the prepared thread coil onto the designated holder on the machine head.
2. Thread Routing: Pull the thread from the coil and carefully route it through all tension guides and the take-up lever as indicated in the detailed user manual. Ensure the thread moves freely.
3. Needle Orientation: When inserting the needle (DP*17 16#), ensure that the groove on the needle faces left. Incorrect needle orientation will lead to thread breakage and skipped stitches.
4. Material Placement: Lift the presser foot and place the material to be sewn on the machine's work surface, positioning it under the presser foot.
5. Initial Lubrication: This machine requires manual lubrication. Add lubricating oil to all specified lubrication points before the first use and before each subsequent use to ensure smooth operation and prevent wear.

Operating Instructions

The YIYIBYUS SM-2972 is a manual machine, providing the operator with direct control over the sewing process.

1. Starting Operation: With the material positioned, gently shake the handwheel to initiate the needle movement and begin stitching.
2. Speed Control: The sewing speed is directly controlled by the rotation speed of the handwheel. Adjust your pace according to the material and desired stitch precision. The maximum sewing speed is 500 stitches per minute (spm).
3. Omnidirectional Sewing: The presser foot can be rotated 360 degrees. Utilize this feature to adjust the sewing direction at any time, which is particularly useful for sewing curves, corners, or cylindrical objects.
4. Stitch Length: The machine produces a fixed stitch length of 5mm (0.20in).
5. Small Cylinder Diameter: The machine's small cylinder diameter (less than 30mm / 1.81in) facilitates sewing on items with small angles or narrow openings.

Maintenance

• Lubrication: Manually add lubricating oil to all moving parts before each use. Refer to the included English & Chinese User Manual for a detailed diagram of specific lubrication points.
• Cleaning: Regularly clean lint, dust, and fabric scraps from the shuttle area, feed dogs, and around the needle plate. Use a small brush or compressed air.
• Needle Replacement: Replace needles (DP*17 16#) regularly, especially if they become bent, dull, or broken. A worn needle can damage fabric and cause poor stitch quality.
• Storage: When not in use, cover the machine and store it in a clean, dry environment to protect it from dust and moisture, which can lead to rust.

Troubleshooting

• Thread Breakage:
  • Ensure the needle groove faces left.
  • Check for correct thread tension; it should not be too tight.
  • Verify the needle is not bent, dull, or the wrong type.
  • Avoid turning the handwheel upside down during use, as this can cause the shuttle to knock inside and break the thread.
• Skipped Stitches:
  • Check needle installation; ensure it is fully inserted and correctly oriented.
  • Confirm the needle type is DP*17 16#.
  • Ensure the material is feeding smoothly and not being pulled excessively.
• Uneven Stitches:
  • Review thread tension settings for both upper and lower threads.
  • Ensure the material is fed consistently without pushing or pulling.
• Machine Jamming:
  • Remove any tangled threads or fabric scraps from the bobbin case and needle plate area.
  • Ensure proper lubrication of all moving parts.
