CAUTION!

Risk of crushing

The spring of the knife fi tting dial is 
under high tension and the dial can 
therefore spring back when returning 
to the original position and there is a 
risk of crushing fi ngers.

 

− Always hold the dial fi rmly and let it 

gently click into place in its original 
position.

Converting to two-thread 
operation

You can also use your machine solely as a two-
thread machine. To do so, use the two-thread 
converter (see section “Accessories” on page 17).

Please refer to the table in section 
“Overview of machine settings” on page 
33 for the various applications of the 
two-thread converter.

1.  Switch off the machine and pull out the mains 

plug.

2.  Open the front fl ap (12).

3.  Depending on the desired seam (see table 

in section 10), remove the needle that is no 
longer required, and the threads for this 
needle and for the upper looper (see also 
“Replacing needles” on page 55).

4.  Remove the two-thread converter (46) from 

the accessory compartment on the work table 
(16) when using for the fi rst time.

5.  Insert the two-thread converter in the recess 

on the upper looper (32).
