Installing Platform
1.
Mount the Sewing Machine Lift to solid wood no less than
3/4" thick in a structurally sound cabinet capable of supporting
the weight of both the lift and the sewing machine. Use a
minimum of six #10 screws (not included) of an appropriate
length for the material to which the Sewing Machine Lift is
being attached. At a minimum, drive screws through the lift’s
four rear-facing mounting holes into the back of the cabinet
and through either the two top-facing holes into the underside
of the tabletop or the two bottom-facing mounting holes into
a support rail.
2.
Make a platform to support your sewing machine on the
Sewing Machine Lift from 3/4"-thick solid wood or plywood.
Make sure that it is large enough to support the machine but
not too large to fit through the opening in your sewing cabinet.
Also, drill a hole or machine a cutout in the platform that will
allow any cords to fit through.
3.
Attach the platform to the carriage supports of the Sewing
Machine Lift with fasters of appropriate strength and length
for the platform. Make sure that the platform fits in the
opening and is mounted so that its back edge is at least
2
11
⁄
16
" from the back edge of the Sewing Machine Lift to
allow clearance for raising and lowering.
4.
With the platform mounted, press downward with both hands
until it reaches the middle Flat-Bed Position. (Or, if it is in
the bottom Stored Position, press down on the platform
slightly to release the Sewing Lift to raise it.) Lay a non-slip
pad on the platform.
5.
Place the sewing machine on platform and position it as
desired. The use of the non-slip pad between the platform
and machine should eliminate the need for hardware to
attach the machine.
6.
To set the middle height adjustment stop so the free arm
or bed of your machine is positioned correctly for the
middle Flat-Bed Position:
A.
Note the distance you need to adjust the lift so that the
free arm or machine bed will end up 1/16" to 1/8" above
the level of the cabinet tabletop.
B.
Press down on the head of the sewing machine to
release the lift and allow the platform to rise to the
top Free-Arm Position.
C.
Loosen the two 8mm nuts on the middle height-adjustment
stop and move it up or down the required amount and
re-tighten the nuts.
D.
Press down on the sewing machine with both hands to
return the platform to the middle Flat-Bed Position. If
you have an insert to go around the free arm of your
machine, replace it. Check for proper height of the free
arm or bed of your machine. It should be 1/16" to 1/8"
above tabletop level.
7.
Place the cords through the hole or cutout you made in
the platform.
8.
To store the machine inside the cabinet, press down to lower
the platform to the bottom Storage Position.
