GENERAL DIRECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS A
Safety
For safety reasons, the sewing machine must be disconnected from the mains:
- Whenever the machine is left unattended
- Whenever preparing the machine for sewing
- Whenever servicing
- Whenever replacing mechanical or electrical parts or accessories
Needles
Usually needles of the system 130/705 H may be used. However, in certain cases stitch
quality may be improved by using type ELX 705 needles.
Choose needle size No.80 for sheer materials and No.90 for normal or thick materials.
Threads
Choose a good quality polyester thread or blended thread.
Lubrication
Besides the 2 oiling points marked in red, the machine is equipped with self-lubrication
bearings and parts. Lubricate the machine as follows: when using it for the first time - if it
has not been used for some time - when it has been intensively during 7 to 8 hours.
RECOMMENDATIONS B
1. Never connect the machine to a different voltage than that marked on the specification plate.
2. For safety reasons, never perform any repairs on the power supply circuit without first
removing the mains lead from the machine.
3.
4.
Never plug in or run the machine unless all the connections are correctly set.
When changing the light bulb, it is neccessary to disconnect the mains lead.
MECHANICAL SEWING DISORDERS C1
First of all, please refer to the paragraph entitled "maintenance" in the instruction manual,
especially when machine does not turn freely by turning the flywheel by hand. If necessary,
check and adjust tightness of motor belt.
Given below are the most frequent disorders. In most cases, they can be remedied by checking
the adjustments in the following order. However, before checking the adjustments, make sure
that the threading is correct and that all the thread passages are okay.
1. Skipped overlock stitches
Check and adjust if necessary:
- Needle bent or with a dull point - replace needle
- Needle not set correctly - refer to "changing the needle" in the instruction manual
- Burrs on upper or lower looper - polish
- Burrs on stitch tongue - polish
- Excessive tension on the needle thread
- Height and orientation of needle bar
- Clearance between point of lower loopers and needle
- Clearance between upper and lower loopers
- Timing of upper and lower loopers against needle
- Feed timing
2. Skipped chainstitches - Cover hems
Check and adjust if necessary:
- Needle and chain looper thread tensions not balanced
- Needle bent or with a dull point - replace needle
- Needle not set correctly - refer to "changing the needle" in the instruction manual
- Burr on chain looper - replace or polish
- Dull blade edge on moving cutter - replace
- Chain looper needle clearance
- Chain needle guard clearance
- Angular position of chain looper
- Orbital timing of chain looper
- Chain thread take up lever timing
- Height and orientation of needle bar
- Needle plate spring plate bent
-
Clearance and position between back of chain looper and needle L0
Note: For more information, see pages ANNEX ΦΧ.
MECHANICAL SEWING DISORDERS C2
3. Thread breakage
Before checking the adjustment, make sure of the good quality of the thread and the needle,
the correctness of threading and the smoothness of all the thread passages. Quite often, an
injury to thread passage is the cause of thread breakage. If all these points are in order, check
the following:
- Dull point of needle or bent needle - replace.
- Dull or burred point of looper - replace.
- Scratch or injury on stitch tongue of needle plate - replace.
- Too strong thread tension.
- Unsmooth or injured edge of needle hole on needle plate (thread breakage of chain stitches)
- replace.
4. Irregular stitches
- Inadequate setting of thread tensions - re-adjust.
- Unsmooth thread passage - polish.
- Height of feed dog.
- Position of looper thread take up levers and thread guides.
- Dull blade edge of moving cutter - replace.
- Injury on needle plate face or presser foot sole - replace.
- Incorrect alignment of pulled-up thread antenna with spool pins - reset it at correct position
to align to spool pins.
5. Breakage of needle
Check and adjust if necessary
- Dull point of needle or bent needle - replace.
- Incorrect placement of needle - refer to "changing the needle" in the instruction manual.
- Clearance of needle guard and (chain needle).
- Incorrect alignment of needle holes of presser foot and needle plate.
- Clearance from needle to lower looper.
- Clearance between the upper and lower loopers.
- Feed timing.
- Horizontal feed timing against chain-stitch needle.

s
1. Remove: Mains lead - Front cover.
2. Select sewing program 1 "SAFETY 4 THREAD"
3. Make sure that all the tensiondials are set at "N" position
4. Use a 50 (3ply) cotton thread to check the tension values with the tension gauge.
Blue tension : 50 to 60 gr.
Red tension : 35 to 45 gr.
Yellow tension : 10 to 15 gr.
Green tension : 20 to 25 gr.
5. If not, adjust the tension(s) with the fine tuning dial "d". The tension can be adjusted by
using small minus screw driver.
6. If one of the tension dial "r" is not aligned with the other dials when tensions are set at
"N" position, then proceed as follow:
Slide and hold the dial to the left side, make sure that the pinion on the dial "r" is
disconnected to the drive gear "s".
Rotate dial "r" towards the back (maximum position), and set drive gear "s" in its initial
position. See figure B . Then slide pinion dial "r" back into drive gear "s" and recheck
the position.

1. Remove: Mains lead - Front cover.
2. Select sewing program 1 "SAFETY 4 THREAD"
3. Check and make sure that the lever "h" is facing the notch of tension cam "g" for blue
needle thread.
4. If not, loosen screw "a" and turn DT cam pulley "j" forward or backward until the lever
"h" is facing the notch of tension cam "g". Then, tighten screw "a".
5. If the position of the display drum indicator "d" is not aligned with the display window
"e", then loosen screw "c" and adjust the position of drum.
6. Fasten screw "c" and recheck the position of the display drum "d".
Note: In order to check the alignment of the display drum indicator "d" and the display
window "e", it is necessary to set the front cover onto the machine.

2. Make sure if tension cams and levers are set in proper positions when selecting sewing
program 1 "SAFETY 4 THREAD". (See and Check Page E).
3. Select sewing program 10 "COVER HEM/CHAINSTITCH".
4. Bring the needle bar to its lowest position by turning a handwheel toward you.
5. Loosen screw "a" and turn the upper looper shifting cam "b" until the hook of the looper
follower "c" falls into the V-shaped hollow of the cam "b" (See View A ). Check if a
cam "b" and looper follower "c" are positioned as shown in View B .
6. Fasten screw "a" and recheck if the upper looper shifting connector "d" is pulled

THE ADJUSTMENT OF THE CHAIN LOOPER
TENSION DIAL G
1. Remove: Mains lead - Front cover
2. Open Front Flap.
3. Peel a label "a" from the surface of screw "b" with a needle or a tool with sharp point
and remove a tension dial "c" (brown) by loosening a screw "b".
4. Use a 50 (3 ply) cotton thread to check the tension value with the tension
gauge.
Brown tension : 15 to 20 gr.
5. If not, adjust the tension value with the tension adjustment plate screw "d".
Turn the screw "d" by one notch clockwise to increase or in reverse to
decrease tension value.
6. Make sure if a notch of the screw "d" faces against an indicator "p". (See Fig. 1)
7. Set back a tension dial "c" with the mark "N" above into a shaft "e". (See Fig. 2)
8. Fasten a screw "b" and put back a label "a" with glue.
