Preparations
Operating Instructions
Voltage Switch
220 - 240V / 120V
The sewing machine is set to the voltage 220 - 240V. To change the
voltage to 120V (US/Canada), you must set the voltage switch on the
underside of the machine to 120 V.
If you are unsure of the correct voltage for your country, please check
with your authorized Pfaff sewing machine dealer or local electrical
authorities before plugging in your machine.
Electrical connection
Connect the lead cord between the socket of the sewing machine and
the wall outlet.
For the USA and Canada:
This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet.
DO NOT modify the plug in any way!
Connecting the foot control
Pull the retractable cord out of the foot control to a length that is
comfortable for you. The foot control has an automatic cord-rewind
reel for storage. Connect the plug of the foot control to the connection
socket of the sewing machine.
The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot control.
The foot control ATK 0080 must be used for this sewing machine.

Preparations
Main switch
When the main switch is switched on (switch function I) the sewing
lightbulb lights up and the multi-color touch screen lights up.
The sewing machine is now ready to function.
"0" = OFF
"I" = ON
Thread cutter
Pull the thread from the back to the front up over the thread cutter.
Contrast of the screen
The contrast of the screen is adjustable. The setting can be re-adjusted
with the screen control dial (A).

Preparations
Carrying case
Place the enclosed lead cord, the foot control and instruction book into
the storage compartment of the carrying case.
Lid
Open the lid upwards.
The stitches of the sewing machine are illustrated on the inside of the
lid.
Accessory tray
Open the accessory tray by placing your left index finger on the ridged
area on the left of the lid and open the lid up and towards you.
Free arm
In order to sew using the free arm, swing the detachable accessory tray
to the left and lift it up out of the hole. When replacing the accessory
tray, make sure it is flush with the free arm of the sewing machine.
Note: Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabric
but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difficult or impossible to
remove.
Fleece and denim fabric (especially in red and blue) often contain a lot of excess dye.
If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye,
always pre-wash it before sewing/embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

Preparations
Changing the presser foot
Snap off the presser foot
Switch off the main switch.
Press the front part of the presser foot upwards and at the same time
the rear part downwards until it disengages from the presser foot
holder.
Snap on the presser foot
Place the presser foot under the presser foot holder, so that when the
presser foot lift is lowered, the pins of the foot snap onto the presser
foot holder.
Check:
Please check that the presser foot is properly attached by raising the
presser foot lift.
Note: If your Presser foot lift is disengaged because of the embroidery or free-motion, step
on the foot control in a sewing stitch or disengage the free-motion icon.

Preparations
The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)
For sewing any fabric precisely Pfaff provides the ideal solution: the
Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on industrial machines, the IDT
feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time at the same
stitch length. The fabric is fed precisely. On light fabrics such as silk or
rayon the dual feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding
action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics. The
IDT keeps all layers of quilt projects aligned to prevent stretching of the
top layers.
Engaging the IDT
Important: For all work with the Integrated Dual Feed IDT, use presser
feet with the center back cut-out.
Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT down until it engages.
Disengaging the IDT
Hold the IDT with two fingers at the ribbed ankle. Press the IDT down,
then pull it away from you and release the IDT slowly upward.

Preparations
Changing the needle
Switch off the main switch.
To remove: Lower the presser foot and set the
needle to its highest position. Loosen the needle
screw and pull the needle out downwards.
To insert: The flat side A of the needle must face
to the rear. Lower the presser foot and insert the
needle, pushing it up as far as it will go. Hold the
needle and tighten the needle screw firmly.
The feed dogs
For certain sewing work such as free-motion
quilting or darning or when embroidering, the feed
dog must be lowered. On your Pfaff creative 2170
there are two different methods for lowering the
feed dogs, one on the outside of the machine and
one inside the bobbin door.
For either method:
Raise the presser foot before lowering the feed dog.
Push slide A or B to the left.
To bring the feed dogs back up move the slide to the
right.

Preparations
Winding the bobbin from the spool pin
Choose a spool cap slightly larger in diameter than the spool. For
example use the large spool cap for larger spools of thread, and the
smallest cap with cone-type spools. Place the sewing thread on the
spool pin. Slide the cap tightly against the spool.
Threading
Place the thread into guide (A) from front to back and pull it counter-
clockwise ABOVE the bobbin winder thread guide (B).
Wind the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a
clockwise direction.
Note: When bobbin winding always place the thread ABOVE the bobbin winder thread
guide (B). Place a bobbin on the bobbin winder with the Pfaff logo up. Make sure the
bobbin is secure on the bobbin winder by placing the small pin on the bobbin winder into
the slot on the bobbin.
Switch on the main switch.
Start bobbin winding by pushing the bobbin winding lever to the
right. You may need to adjust the Winding speed on the window in
the multi- color touch screen as explained on page 2:11. As soon as the
bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped automatically. Cut
the thread and remove the bobbin from the winder.

Preparations
1. Winding from the second spool pin
Swing the second spool pin up and lock. Place a spool of thread
with an appropriate spool cap on the spool pin.
2. Winding from the third spool pin
Insert the third spool pin in the hole provided. Place the appropriate
spool cap and then a spool on the spool pin.
Threading
Place the thread into thread guide (A) from front to back and pull
it counter clockwise above the bobbin winder thread guide (B).
Wind the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a
clockwise direction.
Start bobbin winding by pushing the bobbin lever to the right.
As soon as the bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped
automatically. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the
winder

Preparations
Bobbin winding while embroidering
The creative 2170 has a thread guide for bobbin winding while
embroidering.
The needle thread (red) is placed into the thread guide (A) and
underneath the bobbin winder thread guide (B). Pull the bobbin thread
(blue) counter clockwise above the bobbin winder thread guide. Wind
the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a clockwise
direction.
Winding a bobbin through the needle
It is possible to wind bobbins even when the machine is fully threaded
(see page 2:14 for threading instructions).
Raise the presser foot. Pull the needle thread underneath the presser
foot and upward through the right-hand threader slot.
Place the thread from left to right through the take-up lever (C).
Note: The take-up lever must be at its highest position.
Guide the thread to the right. Wind the start of the thread around the
bobbin several times in a clockwise direction. Start bobbin winding
by pushing the bobbin lever to the right. As soon as the bobbin is full,
the winding action will be stopped automatically. Cut the thread and
remove the bobbin from the winder.
Note: The thread knife next to the bobbin winder makes it easy to cut the thread after
bobbin winding.
