Test Sewing

Owner's manual pg.___

• Lift the front of the presser foot to place the fabric under it to begin serging.

• Lift the entire presser foot by the handle at the back when accurate fabric placement is needed.

• Use the 2-step presser foot lifter for thick fabrics.

• Chain off the fabric.

• Use the thread cutter to cut the thread chain.

Cleaning and Oiling

Owner's manual pg.___

• Clip all threads at the thread guide support.

• Lift the presser foot to release (open) the thread tension disks.

• Gently pull threads from serger. Always remove threads in the direction of sewing. If you encounter any

resistance, stop and rotate the handwheel slightly to release the threads from the loopers.

• Open the looper cover; rotate the upper knife up.

• Using a vacuum cleaner adapter or a 1” cosmetic brush, remove all lint and fluff from the looper, knife

and feed dog areas of the machine.

• Following the oiling guide inside the looper cover, place a drop of oil on each of the two oiling points.

• Remove old needles and replace them with new.

• Rotate upper knife down into cutting position.

Replacing the Knives

Owner's manual pg.___

• Serger knives cut fabric as it is serged; as with scissors, repeated use can dull them. If knives begin to

“chew” instead of cut, consider replacing the lower knife.

• If you serge over pins, replce both knives.

• An authorized BERNINA®technician will need to replace the upper knife.

Balanced 4-Thread Stitch

Owner’s manual pg.___

• Thread the serger for a 4 thread overlock stitch using thread colors to match the color-coded threading

path on the serger.

• Set all thread tension dials at 3-5 (normal).

• To begin stitching, lift the front of the presser foot with your right thumb and slide the fabric under the

presser foot. Release the tip of the presser foot and begin serging.

• Serge to the end of the fabric.

• Continue stitching off the fabric until you have a 3”- 4” thread chain.

• Locate the thread cutter on the left side of the serger and cut the thread chain (from right to left).

• Examine the serger stitch formation and compare it to the balanced stitch graphic on page__ of the

Owner's manual.

• Read the information under Adjusting the Thread Tension on page__ of the Owner's manual for

information about the stitch formation and correcting any stitch irregularities.

• Make any necessary tension adjustments and serge another row of stitching.
