The wires in this mains lead are coloured in accordance
with the following code: -
BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE
As the colours of the mains lead of this appliance
may not correspond with the coloured
markings identifying the terminals in your plug
- CONNECT AS FOLLOWS:-
This machine is double insulated, and therefore
an earth
wire is unnecessary.
The wire coloured BROWN must be connected
to the
terminal marked L, or coloured RED
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected
to the terminal
marked N, or coloured BLACK
If a 13 amp plug is used, fit a 3 amp fuse
For any other plug, protect with a 5 amp fuse
or fuse wire
NOTES
When servicing or changing mechanical parts
or lamp bulb the machine must be disconnected
from the supply by removing the plug from the
socket outlet.
Should it become necessary to replace the
lamp bulb at any time, the correct type of bulb
must be used, this being SBC type, 240 volts,
15 watt maximum.
MAIN FEATURES
15 DROP-IN PATTERN CAMS: enable you to sew beautiful decorative patterns automatically.
THREE NEEDLE POSITIONS: the machine sews at the left, the center and the right positions; varieties of automatic
decorative patterns are multiplied when sewn at different needle positions.
TRIPLE LOCK STRETCH STITCH especially effective when sewing stretch materials like jersey or when you need a rein-
SEAM: forced seam.
OVERLOCK STITCH: good for sewing over edge of materials preventing fraying.
RIC-RAC STITCH: a reinforced zigzag seam; extremely durable and very elastic.

TO REGULATE THREAD TENSIONS
Correct tensions are important for the good appearances of the stitches. If the tensions are not correct, the
results will be
imperfect stitching. Generally, the tensions should be adjusted by the upper thread tension regulator dial. However,
to test the
bobbin thread tension, hold bobbin case in your left hand and pull out a few inches of thread, if you feel a slight
pull and the
thread is supplied smoothly, it is usually unnecessary to adjust the bobbin thread tension.

AUTOMATIC PATTERN SEWING
Beautiful stitches are sewn automatically with automatic pattern cams. Pattern cams produce the stitches illustrated in the
following pages.
To insert a pattern cam into the machine follow the following instructions:
1. Open lid with your finger.
2. Turn zigzag width knob to "5 (CAM RELEASE)".
3. Insert pattern cam into machine. Turn pattern cam until the pin on the machine fits into the groove in the cam.
4. Close lid.
To remove pattern cam, open the lid, move zigzag width knob to "5 (CAM RELEASE)" and pull pattern cam out.
Note: When sewing automatic patterns, set zigzag width knob at "0".

2. The pressure of the presser foot is too strong. See instructions for adjustment of the pressure of the presser foot.
3. Stitches are too small for the weight of the material. Adjust the stitch length.
IRREGULAR STITCHING
1. The upper and lower threads are of inferior quality. Use thread of best quality.
2. The thread is wound around the bobbin unevenly. Rewind it.
THE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK SMOOTHLY AND IS NOISY
1. The machine is in need of oil Apply oil as per instructions.

2. Dust and waste thread have collected in the shuttle mechanism. See instructions pertaining to cleaning the race and shuttle.
3. Oil of inferior quality is used and has coagulated. Clean thoroughly and oil again with proper sewing machine oil of
