REVERSE STITCHING BUTTON
-If you hold this button down the machine will stitch backwards which is ideal for
reinforcing seams.
HOW TO SEW ON BUTTONS
-To sew on buttons you will need to put in place the button accessory that is provi-
ded (nº 8) which locks down to the lower plate by means of the 3 pivots.
-Once in place you must pull up the lower thread as indicated in previous sections.
-Then you put the button that you wish to sew down on the cloth and tack down the
button by hand to prevent it from moving.
-Place the cloth with the button underneath the presser foot and select the
stitching.
-Lower the presser foot downwards and lower the needle down manually with
the manual wheel in order to ensure that the needle coincides with the holes in the
button. Once you have checked that the needle coincides with the two holes in the
button, press down the pedal to begin to sew the button on automatically.
-If the button has 4 holes the operation has to be repeated by turning the cloth
around 90 degrees.
HOW TO SEW BUTTONHOLES
-To make buttonholes you have to use the stitching indicated below and also the
buttonhole presser foot. To do this you have to substitute the normal presser foot
with the special buttonhole presser foot. To do this the section HOW TO REMOVE
THE PRESSER FOOT has to be followed.
1.To start, please mark the length of the buttonhole on the cloth with a pencil.
2.Put the marked cloth under the presser foot with the buttonhole mark facing you.
3.Move the presser foot slide guide (A) towards you in such a way as the upper
mark (B) of the guide coincides with the buttonhole starting mark that has been
marked on the cloth.
4.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew for-
wards until you reach the buttonhole mark.
5.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew 5 or 6
stitches.
6.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial with the back-
wards stitching button (nº 9) until you reach the back buttonhole mark.
7.Select the buttonhole stitching with the stitching selector dial and sew 5 or 6
stitches.
8.Remove the cloth from the machine and cut the thread.
9.And now in order to open the buttonhole please use the buttonhole cutter as indi-
cated in the following illustration.
CLEANING AND STORAGE
-Your machine requires regular cleaning and lubrication. For satisfactory sewing, a
machine which is used for a few hours a day needs to be cleaned and oiled once
a month.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect power supply before performing maintenance on the
machine. Remove holding cloth and needle. Remove needle plate. Brush off all
dust and lint.
-Clean shuttle case with a cleaning brush or soft cloth. Use oil manufactured spe-
cially for sewing machine use. Other oil will eventually cause mechanism to jam.
Apply one drop of oil on the shuttle where friction occurs.
