6. Mode d'emploi

6.1 Sélection des points

Your HIROBOT FHSM-520A machine features 16 built-in stitch patterns. Rotate the stitch selector dial to choose your desired stitch. The available stitches include straight, zigzag, blind hem, and various decorative patterns.

Note: Stitches 9, 10, 11, and 12 are specifically designed for buttonholes and cannot be used for regular sewing. For general and decorative sewing, select other stitch patterns.

6.2 Réglage de la tension du fil

The upper thread tension needs to be adjusted according to the fabric type and thread thickness to achieve balanced stitches. Rotate the thread tension dial to increase or decrease tension. A balanced stitch will have both upper and bobbin threads meeting evenly between the fabric layers.

Recommandations générales :

• Chiffon: Tension 2-3
• Pure Cotton: Tension 3-4
Linen: Tension 4-5
• Denim: Tension 4-5

These are reference suggestions; always test on a scrap piece of your fabric.

This image illustrates the adjustable upper thread tension dial, crucial for achieving smooth stitches on various fabric types. Recommended tension settings are provided for chiffon (2-3), pure cotton (3-4), linen (4-5), and denim (4-5), emphasizing that adjustments may be needed based on fabric density.

6.3 Fonction de couture en marche arrière

To reinforce stitches at the beginning and end of a seam, use the reverse sewing function. Press and hold the reverse button to sew backward. Release the button to resume forward sewing. This function is typically available for straight stitches (1-4).

This image highlights the reverse sewing function, activated by pressing a button. It shows how the machine can sew backward for reinforcement, specifically for stitches 1-4. The design also includes a free arm for sewing sleeves and cuffs.

Contrôle de vitesse 6.4

La machine offre deux façons de contrôler la vitesse de couture :

• Commutateur de vitesse : Use the 'L' (Low) and 'H' (High) switch on the machine for a constant speed.
• Pédale: For variable speed control, connect the foot pedal. Gentle pressure results in slower stitching, while firmer pressure increases the speed.

6.5 Compatibilité des tissus

The HIROBOT FHSM-520A is designed to sew a variety of fabrics, from lightweight cotton to heavier denim. It can handle 4-6 layers of fabric with a total thickness of up to 2.5mm.

Supported Fabrics: Pure Cotton, Denim, Linen, Oxford, Mixed Yarn, Chemical Fiber, Modal, Corduroy.

Important: Avoid sewing excessively thin fabrics directly. If necessary, place a layer of A4 paper under the thin fabric to increase its thickness and prevent it from being pulled into the needle plate.

• Nettoyage: Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin area and feed dogs using a small brush. Always unplug the machine before cleaning.

8. Dépannage

Si vous rencontrez des problèmes avec votre machine à coudre, consultez les problèmes et solutions courants suivants :

• Rupture de fil : Check if the machine is threaded correctly (both upper and bobbin threads). Ensure the thread tension is not too high. Use good quality thread. Replace a bent or dull needle.
• Points sautés : This is often caused by an incorrect or dull needle. Ensure the needle is inserted correctly and replace it if necessary. Check upper threading and tension.
• Blocage des machines : Incorrect threading, especially of the bobbin, is a common cause. Remove all threads, clean the bobbin area, and re-thread carefully following the instructions. Ensure the fabric is not too thick for the machine.
• Points irréguliers : Adjust the upper thread tension. Ensure the bobbin is wound evenly.
• La machine ne démarre pas : Check if the power adapter is securely plugged in and the power switch is 'ON'. Ensure the foot pedal is connected correctly if using it.
