FOR USERS IN THE UK, EIRE, MALTA AND CYPRUS ONLY
If this machine is fitted with a three-pin non-rewireable BS plug then please read the following.
IMPORTANT (in the United Kingdom)
Main supply (AC 230/240V, 50Hz)
DO NOT cut off the main plug from the equipment. If the plug
fitted is not suitable for the power outlet in your home or the
cable is too short to reach a power outlet, then obtain an
appropriate safety-approved extension lead or consult your
dealer.
BE SURE to replace the fuse only with an identical approved
type, as originally fitted, and to replace the fuse cover.
If the main plug is cut off, be sure to remove the fuse and
dispose of the plug immediately, to avoid a possible shock
hazard by inadvertent connection to the main power supply.
IMPORTANT (in the other countries)
If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug
supplied with this equipment, it should be cut off and an
appropriate three-pin plug should be fitted. With alternative
plugs, an approved fuse must be fitted in the plug.
NOTE: The plug severed from the main leads must be
destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if
engaged in a live socket outlet. In the event that the plug
fuse is replaced, use a fuse approved by ASTA to BS 1362,
i.e., carrying the mark, rated as marked on the plug.
Always replace the fuse cover. Never use plugs with the
fuse cover omitted.
WARNING: DO NOT CONNECT EITHER
WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS
MARKED WITH THE LETTER ‘E’ OR BY THE
EARTH SYMBOL , OR COLORED GREEN
OR GREEN AND YELLOW.
The wires in this main lead are colored in accordance with
the following code:
Blue Neutral
Brown Live
As the colors of the wiring in the main lead of this
appliance may not correspond with the colored markings
identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire that is colored blue must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter ‘N’ or colored black or
blue.
The wire that is colored brown must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter ‘L’ or colored red or brown.
CONNECTING PLUGS AND MAIN POWER/SEWING LIGHT SWITCH
1. Connect the three-prong plug into the machine.
2. Connect the electrical supply plug into a wall outlet.
When leaving the machine unattended, the main
power switch of the machine should be switched off

Stitch Length Dial
Depending on the selected stitch, you may need to
adjust the stitch length for best results. The numbers
marked on the stitch length dial represent the stitch
length in millimeters (mm) (1/25").
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE
STITCH. With the “0” setting material is not fed. This
is used when sewing on a button.
The “ ” range is for making a satin stitch (close zigzag
stitch), which is used for making buttonholes and
decorative stitches. The position needed for making the
satin stitch varies according to the material and thread
being used. To determine the exact dial position, first
test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of
fabric to observe the feeding of the material.

Use only twin needles that have been
made for this machine (part code:
X57521-001). Other needles could break,
and damage the machine.
When using the twin needle, make sure
the stitch width dial is not set above “3”
since this may cause the needle to hit the
needle plate and break.
Do not sew with bent needles. The
needle could break and cause injuries.

Twin Needle Threading
You should thread each needle separately.
1
Threading the Right Needle
Follow the same instructions for threading a
single needle. See page 18 for more details.
2
Threading the Left Needle
Thread the left needle in the same way that
you threaded the right needle using the
thread from the spool on the extra spool pin,
but do not pass the thread through the thread
guide above the needle before you pass it
through the eye of the left needle.
1 Right needle thread passes through thread guide
2 Left needle thread passes in front of thread guide
3 Thread guide
Note
Models that are equipped with a Needle
Threader
You cannot use the needle threader to
thread the twin needle. Instead, thread the
twin needle by hand, from front to back.
Using the needle threader may damage the
machine.
Tension of the Thread
The tension of the thread will affect the quality of
your stitches. You may need to adjust it when you
change fabric or thread.
Memo
We recommend that you sew a scrap piece
of fabric to check the thread tension before
sewing on your project.
The basic thread tension setting is “5”.
Possible Problems If the Tension Is Wrong
Upper tension is too tight.
Locks will appear on the surface of the fabric.
Upper tension control dial
Decrease the tension by turning the dial to a
lower number.

2 Surface
Upper tension is too loose.
Locks appear on the reverse side of the fabric.

2 Surface
Note
The lower thread tension has been adjusted
at the factory for general use. For most
sewing applications, no adjustment is
needed. When sewing with thin thread on
thin fabrics, the thread tension cannot be
adjusted adequately with the upper tension
control dial. Instead, the thread tension
must be adjusted according to the
procedure described below.
Lower tension is too loose.
Locks appear on the surface of the fabric.
Decrease the thread tension by turning the dial to
a lower number. If the result is still not
satisfactory, then adjust the bobbin thread tension
as explained below.
Bobbin
Increase the tension in the bobbin by turning the
screw with a small screwdriver in a clockwise
direction. However, do not turn the screw more
than one full turn.
Remember to return the screw to its original
position before starting your next project.

You can use reverse sewing for locking the
end of seams and where you need to
strengthen a stitch.
Changing Sewing Direction
1
With the needle still in the fabric, stop the
machine at the point where you want to
change the sewing direction.
To avoid being injured, watch the needle carefully while you are using the machine. Keep your
hands away from moving parts.
Do not stretch or pull the fabric during sewing, otherwise the needle may be damaged and
you may be injured.
Do not use bent or broken needles, otherwise you may be injured.
Take care that the needle does not hit basting pins or other objects during sewing, otherwise
the needle may break and you may be injured.
Always use the correct presser foot. If you use the wrong presser, the needle may hit the
presser foot and bend or break and you may also be injured.
When you turn the balance wheel by hand, always turn it toward the front of the machine
(counterclockwise). Turning it the other way may cause the thread to tangle and damage the
needle or fabric. You may also be injured.

Elastic Stitching
You can use the Elastic Stitch for mending, sewing
elastic or joining fabric. Each is explained below.
Set the pattern selection dial to the Elastic Stitch.
Mending
1
Set the stitch length dial between " " and
“2.5”.
2
Place the reinforcement fabric under the area
you want to mend.
3
Following the line of the tear, sew using the
Elastic Stitch as illustrated.
Sewing Elastic
1
Place the elastic on the fabric.
2
As you sew, stretch the elastic in front of and
behind the presser foot.
Joining Fabric
You can use the Elastic Stitch to join two pieces of
fabric together. In addition, it is very effective
when sewing knitted fabrics. If you are using
nylon thread, the stitch will not be visible.
1
Put the edge of the two pieces of fabric
together and center them under the presser
foot.
2
Sew them together using the Elastic Stitch.
Make sure you keep the two fabric edges close
together.
Scallop Stitching
This machine automatically produces a Scallop
Stitch for decorative edging.
1
Set the pattern selection dial to the Scallop
Stitch.
2
Sew the Scallop Stitch along the edge of the
material.
3
If desired, trim around the scallop with
scissors to create a scalloped edge. Be careful
not to cut the thread.

Double Action Stitching
This stitch is used for joining two pieces of fabric, for
example, when making patchwork. Set the pattern
selection dial to the Double Action Stitch.
Overedge Stitching
You can use these stitches to join together seams and
finish them in one operation. The Overlock Stitches
are also useful for sewing stretch materials while the
Arrowhead Stitch is ideal for sewing the edge of a
blanket.
1
Set the pattern selection dial to the Elastic
Overlock, Stretch Overlock or Arrowhead.
2
Put the fabric under the presser foot so that
the seamline (or arrowhead point) is
approximately 3 mm (1/8") to the left of the
center of the presser foot. This stitch works
best with a seam allowance of approximately
6 mm (1/4") as this allows the right (zigzag)
side of the stitch to overlock the cut edge of
the fabric.
3
If the seam allowance is wider than the stitch
pattern, trim away any excess fabric after
stitching.
A finished Elastic Overlock Stitch is shown in the
diagram below.
Feather Stitching
Use the Feather Stitch as a decorative top-stitch
when hemming blankets, tablecloths or draperies, or
when embroidering.
1
Set the pattern selection dial to the Feather
Stitch.
2
Place the fabric right side up and sew 1 cm
(3/8") from the edge of the fabric.
3
Trim close to the stitching.
