Návod k obsluze

Výběr a nastavení stehu

The Bernette B48 offers 23 stitch types, including 4-thread overlock, 3-thread super stretch, 3-thread flatlock, 3-thread narrow seam, and more. Refer to your machine's threading chart for recommended settings for each stitch type.

  • Stitch Length (SL): Adjust the dial on the right side of the machine to set the desired stitch length.
  • Differential Feed (DF): The differential feed dial, located on the left side, controls the movement of the front and rear feed dogs. Adjust this to prevent stretching or gathering of fabric, or to intentionally create gathering or shirring effects. A setting of '1' is standard.
  • Cutting Width (CW): The cutting width dial on the left front of the machine adjusts how much fabric is trimmed by the knife.
  • Knife Guard (KG/CSI): Ensure the knife guard is in the correct position for your chosen stitch. 'KG' typically means the knife is engaged.
  • Needle Positions (NP): Select the appropriate needle position based on the stitch type.
  • Napětí nitě: Adjust the tension dials for each thread (Yellow, Green, Blue, Red, Violet) according to the threading chart for your selected stitch. Incorrect tension can lead to loose or tight stitches.

Sewing with the Machine

  1. Umístěte látku pod přítlačnou patku.
  2. Spusťte přítlačnou patku.
  3. Start sewing slowly, guiding the fabric evenly.
  4. Always test your stitch settings on a scrap piece of the same fabric before beginning your project.

Regular cleaning ensures smooth operation and prevents lint buildup from affecting stitch quality.

  • Vypněte a odpojte zařízení ze zásuvky.
