Istruzioni per l'uso

1. Accensione/spegnimento

Locate the power switch on the side or back of the machine. Flip the switch to the "ON" position to power on the machine. The LED screen will illuminate. To turn off, flip the switch to "OFF".

2. Selezione del punto

The Carina Professional offers 206 stitch programs. Use the large buttons on the control panel to navigate and select your desired stitch. The selected stitch, along with its optimal length and width, will be clearly displayed on the bright LED screen. The screen also indicates the correct presser foot to use for the chosen stitch.

3. Regolazione delle impostazioni del punto

Stitch width and length are continuously adjustable. While each stitch program has a pre-set optimal setting, you can fine-tune these parameters using the dedicated adjustment buttons on the control panel. Refer to the LED screen for real-time display of your adjustments.

4. Using Automatic Needle Threader

To use the automatic needle threader, ensure the needle is in its highest position. Lower the threader mechanism, guide the thread as instructed, and release. The thread will be pulled through the needle eye.

5. Integrated Thread Cutter

After completing a seam, use the integrated thread cutter located on the side of the machine to quickly and cleanly trim both upper and bobbin threads.

6. Needle Stop Function

The machine features a needle stop function, allowing you to set the needle to stop in either the up or down position. This is particularly useful for pivoting fabric at corners (needle down) or removing fabric from the machine (needle up).

7. Regolazione della velocità

The sewing speed can be continuously adjusted to match your comfort level and the complexity of your project. Use the speed control slider or buttons (if present) to increase or decrease the sewing speed.

8. Using Different Presser Feet

Your machine comes with a variety of presser feet for different sewing tasks. To change a presser foot, raise the needle and presser foot lever. Press the release button on the back of the presser foot holder to detach the current foot. Align the new presser foot with the holder and lower the presser foot lever until it snaps into place.

  • General Purpose Foot: For most basic sewing tasks.

  • Satin Stitch Foot: For dense decorative stitches and appliqué.
  • Piedino per asole: For creating automatic buttonholes.
  • Blind Hem Foot: For creating invisible hems.
  • Edge Sewing Foot: For precise edge stitching.
  • Piedino per cucire bottoni: For attaching buttons.

9. Sewing Tips for Various Materials

The 70W motor allows the machine to handle a wide range of materials, from fine fabrics to heavy denim.

  • Per tessuti delicati (e.g., silk, chiffon), use a fine needle and adjust tension as needed.
  • Per stretch fabrics (e.g., jersey, knits), use a ballpoint or stretch needle and a stretch stitch.
  • Per tessuti pesanti (e.g., denim, canvas), use a denim needle and adjust stitch length for stronger seams.
  • Always test your stitch settings on a scrap piece of your fabric before sewing your main project.

Regular cleaning is essential for optimal machine performance.

  • Lint and Dust: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove lint and dust from the bobbin area, feed dogs, and around the needle plate.
  • Placca ago: Remove the needle plate (refer to your machine's specific instructions for removal) to clean underneath it.
  • Esterno: Pulire l'esterno della macchina con un panno morbido e asciutto. Non utilizzare prodotti chimici aggressivi o detergenti abrasivi.
