CHARACTERIST[
L The CONSEW Model 2JO machine for sewing light, rnedium, and heavy-weight material is ali-gear driven -
and automatically lubricated at every bearing with separately adjustable oil feed for the rotary hook. All
bearings are diamond bored sleeve types, except for needle bearings at the thread take-up.
2. Drop Feed design with a maximum stitch length 6 to the inch.
3. The belt groove in the machine handwheel has an eHective diameter of 2%o" when using ~(.:;;" wide "V"
belting. For ;7-iH" dia round belting the effective diameter .is 2:%,'~.
4. Maximmn presser Foot lift is %1u. '#:
::>. Needle style 16 ;< 257 (all sizes)
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Do not operate machine for any reason whatsoever unless oil reservoir has been filled and machine has been
oiled according to instructions on page 5.
Maxmmn operating speed is 4,500 stitches per minute
How to set up
For purposes of shipment the machine and its oil pan are separated. Unpack rnachine with great care to
pre\·ent loss of any assembly part and to prevent the entry of foreign matter into the head and the oil pan.
Attach to oil pan corners the four Z-shaped straps using two shoulder screws each. Loosen adjustment
screws at bottom of straps until there is clearance between screw heads and rubber pads at underside of
oil pan. (Fig. 2)

The )an fits . o standard size table cut-o~ , (19/t x
7% ,. ) and is supported at the four corners without
screws or bolts. The weight of the head alone suffices
for accurate seating. Note that the oil pan must setUe
down easily into the cut-out vv.irhout use of force. If
necessary rasp the edges of the cut-out and those of the
corner supports.
No felt pads are required on top of these corner sup-
er pee
ports. They should be rernoved, if the machine is to
be instal.led into an old table. To level the oil pan
within the table cut-out, put rnachine head in place,
Oran", oiug Od i~;:e{
having inserted the hinge hooks into the bed beforehand. ~.naJca:~or
Fig. 2
With the machine head resting on the neoprene rubber
oil pan gttsket, turn adjustment screws (Fig. 2) until
top of machine bed projects evenly above the surface of the table top. The machine hinges rnust not
support the head except when it is tilted back.
Insert plunger "P" into its seat inside the oil pan (Fig. 3) and assemble knee lifter lever and pad to its
component parts at the front of the oil pan. Adjust stops of knee lifter mechanism so that there is only
a little play before it starts to lift the presser foot and that it is raised all the way without any strain
on the lifter parts and without tendency to lift the entire head.

The Lubrication ,tern
Oiling of the operating parts of .Model 210 machine is entirely automatic. Oil is contained in _the oil
pan at the bottom of the machine head and is circulated from there to all parts which require lubri-
cation and cooling. The oil pan should be filled with good quality sewing machine oil, either ordinary
or stainless type, of a grade similar to SAElO, to the level indicated by the word "High" inside the
pan. The upper red line of the oil level indicator (2), (Fig. 1) ~hows the corresponding oil level.
Check oil level daily and never allow it to fall bellow the lower red line of the oil level indicator or
below the "low'' mark inside the oil pan. Oil is filled directly into the oil pan when the head is tilted
back. Total oil capacity is approximately n1z pints (24 n. ounces.)
To remove accumulated impurities from the lubricating oil, a magnet has been included with the ma-
chine. Remove it from the accessory box and place it along the circular flat rim at the bottom of the
oi.l pump (see Fig. 3). At this location, the largest flow of oil passes the magnet wlth most efficient
cleaning as a result.
NOTE: Before operating a new machine or one which has been standing idle for a period of several
weeks, remove the arm cover plate right next to the pressure regulator (7). Soak with oi1 the four
oil wicks now exposed and replace cover. After a few minutes of operation the automatic oiling
systern will do the lubricating.

The olf supply for the rotating hook can be
controlled through adjustment of the needle
valve "V" at the underside of the machine bed
(Fig. 3). While this valve is adjusted at the
factory to feed the correct <UllOtlntof lubricant,
operating conditions may require either an in-
crease or a decrease in the oil flow to the hook.
To determine the amount of oil supplied to the
hook, hold a piece o.f tissue or similar paper
under the hook and operate n:1achine. After a
very brief period of operation a slight trace
of oil should become visible on the paper. If
not, check flow and adjustment of needle valve.
Also, remove from on screen 1'S'' at bottom of Fig. 3
oil pump ·~o~' any accumulation of lint or other
foreign matter, at the same time Hft the mag~
net from the rim of the on pump, wipe it clean
and replace it.

Threading the mach
Turn handwheel toward you until needle (10) reaches its high~
est point and take-up lever (7) is near the end of its upward
travel, as shown on Fig. 4. Lead thread from hole of spool
pin (1) through three holes in thread guide (2), ·then down-
ward through guard (3) and between and around tension discs
(4) from right to left Upward into thread take-up spring (5)
and down under slack thread regulator (6), up and through
guard (3) into eye of take-up lever (7) from right to Ieft,
down through thread guides (8 and 9) into thread guide (10)
and from left to right through the eye of the needle. Pull two
to three inches of thread through the eye of the needle.

With the right hand guide the thread into the slot in the edge of the bobbin case.
Then pull the thread to the left, under the tension spring and into the delivery eye.
In order to keep the bobbin frorn dropping out of the case when it is
turned with the open side down, always keep the hinged latch at the L
front of the bobbin case open.
Take the threaded bobbin case by the latch and place it on the center
stud A (Fig. 6) of the bobbin case holder. Release latch and press bobbin
case onto center stud until the latch catches the undercut thereon with
a click that can be heard. Permit two to three inches of bobbin thread
.
to hang down freely. Be sure to push slide plate to the right before
starting to sew. A

Inserting a New N e -~
To .Commence Sewing
Turn the balance wheel toward you with the right hand un-
til the needle moves down and up again to its highest point,
thus catching the lower (bobbin) thread. Now pull the end of
the upper thread you are holding and the bobbin thread will
be brought up with it through the needle hole in the needle
plate, as shown in (Fig. 7 ) . Place both ends of thread back
under the presser foot. Place the fabric to be sewn beneath
the presser foot, lo\ver the foot upon it and then start the

For ordinary stitching, the tension on the upper and lower threads should be equal so as to lock both
threads in the center of the fabric,
Thus:
If the tension on either thread is stronger than on the other, imperfect stitching wiU be the result. If the
tension on the upper thread is greater than that on the lower thread, it wlll lie straight along the upper
surface of the fabric,
Thus:
If the tension on the lower thread is greater than that on the upper thread, the lower thread will lie
straight along the underside of the fabric,
Thus:

A. Tension of tl~ :pper (N e) thread
Before adjusting the tension of the upper thread, be certain that the
presser foot is let down and not in lifted position. Turn serrated nut
"N" on tension device to the right to increase tension ar:d to the left, If
you desire to decrease it. N
B. Tension of the lo,ver (bobbin) thread
The tension of the lo\ver thread is regulated by the screw on the bobbin Fig. 8
case tension spring (see Fig. 9).
Use the small driver to tighten the screw slightly to increase the ten- Screw
sion, or loosen it to slacken the tension.

It
Tbe machine is normally adjusted at the factory so that the tension of the upper thread will be released when
the presser foot is raised in excess of 17/64". Jf it is desired to effect thread tension release with a lesser lift
su_!:h as when sewing very thin materials, this adjustment can be made by the user.
To change the timing of the thread tension reiease, proceed as foHows :
1. Remove face plate from mach.ine making sure that its gasket will not be damaged under any circum-
stances.
2. Do not wipe blue-colored sealing compound from the gasket
nor from any of the contact surfaces of the face plate and
the arm.
:3. Loosen screw A (Fig. 14) to adjust regulating arm B. Set
the height of arm B so that there wHI be upper thread
tension when the presser foot !s lifted for tacking. The
upper thread tension must be cornpletely released only when
the presser foot is in fully raised position.
4. Tighten screw A securely and replace face plate making
certain that all its screws are tightened uniformly.
