5 6.5 N 5.5 4 N 2 1 32 As shown on the illustration, turn the dial counter clockwise to increase width of cutting, and clockwise to decrease width of cutting. The presser foot pressure of this machine is pre-adjusted at the factory to suit the sewing of medium weight fabrics.
33 Differential feed is a system which "stretches" or "gathers" the fabric, when the amount of feed of front feed dogs in relation to the rear feed dogs is changed. The differential feed ratio ranges from 1:0.6~1:2.0. Adjustment is made by means of the differential feed adjusting dial pictured at right.
N 0.8 0.6 2.0 1.5 34 Stretch overedge is ideal for sewing decorative collars, sleeves, skirt hems, etc. on loosely knit and woven fabrics. Set differential feed adjusting lever knob above setting "N". T o sew a seam, apply gentle tension to the fabric by holding the seam lightly in front and back of the presser foot.
2 1 2 1 Caution: Caution: 35 Open looper cover (page 12). Pull the movable knife holder to the right as far as it will go. T urn the holder toward counter clockwise until the knife clicks into a lock position. Be sure to turn off power switch. Open looper cover .
36 T o engage the spread , raise the white handle on the spreader to insert the tip into the er eye of upper looper . When not threading the upper looper , the spreader must be engaged into the upper looper eye. When using the upper looper , the spread must be er disengaged.
R N R N 37 Set seam width finger knob to N to move seam width finger to standard overedge sewing position. Set seam width finger knob to R to retract the seam width finger and set it for rolled hem. Note: Be sure to push seam width finger knob as far as it will go in the direction of setting R.
38 Note: The following instructions do not apply to cover stitch. For instructions on cover stitch, see page 49 "How to Sew a Cover Stitch." When the machine is completely threaded, bring all of the threads across the needle plate and slightly to the left under the presser foot.
39 T ension is automatically set when seiecting the desired stitch type with the Auto T ension Dial (A TD). T ension may be fine tuned with the Fine Tuning Levers according to the following variables:.

50 Note: Follow the instructions given below when sewing cover stitches because chaining-off at the end of sewing is not possible. Raise presser foot by lowering the presser bar lifter . Place material under presser foot behind the needle. Lower presser foot .

53 Since the seams formed by cover stitch unravel when the looper thread is pulled out at the end of sewing, secure the seam end in the following manner . When sewing through to the edge of fabric, among the threads coming out of the fabric edge, knot the needle threads (2 or 3 threads) together first, as shown on the illustration.
54 This machine can sew four types of rolled hems. Rolled hemming is done by rolling and overedging the fabric edge. Light weight fabrics such as lawn, voile, organdy , crepe, etc. perform the best. Rolled hemming is not suited for heavy or stiff fabrics.
55 Set auto tension dial to A as shown on illustration and test sew on a sample of your fabric. Note: For a beautiful rolled hem thread the upper looper with wooly nylon and the needle and lower looper with lightweight regular thread. Set auto tension dial to C as shown on illustration and test sew on a sample of your fabric.
56 Set auto tension dial to E as shown on illustration and test sew on a sample of your fabric. Note: For a beautiful rolled hem thread the lower looper with wooly nylon and the needle with lightweight regular thread. Convert upper looper to spreader .
57 Hold the thread chain when you begin sewing to keep it from curling into the seam. Apply a small drop of liquid seam sealant to the end of the seam. Allow to dry , then cut the chain close to the stitches. Note: T est the liquid seam sealant for color fastness before use.
Lower looper thread Needle thread Underside Upper looper thread T opside Needle thread 58 A flatlock stitch is achieved by adjusting the tension of the 2-thread or 3-thread overlock stitch, sewing the seam, and then pulling the fabric apart to flatten the seam.
T opside Underside A 59 Place the movable upper knife in the nonworking position (page 35). The fabric is not trimmed on this stitch. Fold fabric wrong sides together . Position the fabric so the seam is sewn with part of the stitch extending off the fabric.
60 4 The excess fabric is trimmed and the hem is sewn and the raw edges are overlocked in one operation. The overlock blind hem is best suited for sewing knit wear . It provides a durable finish that is almost invisible. Use overedge right needle and adjust machine for a narrow 3-thread overlock stitch.
61 Cut out approximately 2cm (51/64 inch) from the corner , in line with the overedge seam edge. Sew one stitch beyond point (A) and stop. Raise needle and presser foot. Pull the fabric to the rear of the machine just enough to release the thread caught on the finger of the needle plate.
Seam line Cut Needle position Seam line 62 Insert pins to the left of the presser foot. The pins will be easy to remove and are away from the cutting action of the knives. Thread a large eye, hand sewing needle (such as a tapestry needle) with the thread chain.
63 Inserting twill tape while overedge sewing will stabilize the seam. Insert the tape through the hole in the front of the foot. Position the tape under the foot to the back of the machine and sew the garment seam. The tape is attached as the seam is sewn.
D C B A 64 An overlock machine requires more maintenance than a conventional machine for two reasons: 1) A lot of lint is produced due to the cutting action of the knives. 2) An overlock runs at a very high speed and needs to be oiled frequently to lubricate the internal working parts.

B A C 67 The following optional presser feet specially prepared for this machine are available at extra-charge. Note: Do not use presser foot made for other machines. Use of such presser foot may result in interference with the needle and knife and can be hazardous.
68 This foot is used for attaching elastic tape to the garment and the amount of contraction of the elastic tape can be adjusted as required. This foot is for sewing cuffs on knit fabrics, skirt and trouser seams where seam should not be visible.
