Návod k obsluze
1. Základní obsluha
- Ovládání nožním pedálem: The speed of the machine is controlled by the pressure applied to the foot pedal. Press gently for slower speeds and more firmly for faster speeds.
- Poloha jehly: Always ensure the needle is in its highest position before placing or removing fabric.
2. Stitching

- Place the fabric under the presser foot, aligning the edge with the desired seam allowance guide.
- Spusťte přítlačnou patku.
- Begin sewing by gently pressing the foot pedal. Guide the fabric smoothly through the machine.
- At the end of the seam, raise the needle to its highest position, lift the presser foot, and remove the fabric.
- Cut the thread, leaving a tail of a few inches.
3. Nastavení délky a napětí stehu
- Délka stehu: Refer to the stitch length regulator dial or lever on your specific model to adjust the length of the stitches. Turn clockwise for longer stitches, counter-clockwise for shorter stitches.
- Napětí nitě: The tension dial controls the tightness of the thread. Adjust as needed to achieve a balanced stitch. A balanced stitch will have the thread loops meeting evenly between the layers of fabric. Increase tension if the thread is too loose, decrease if too tight.
