Singer No. 20-2
To Start the Motor
Place the plug on the rubber-covered cord
into a wall outlet or light socket. (Be sure that
your currently is 110 volt, 60 cycle).
Press down on the switch (R, Fig. 2)
and the lever (S) at the same time; this will ill
start the motor. Release the lever, and the
rubber roller back of the hand wheel will
touch the rim of the wheel and drive the
machine.
To Stop the Motor
Push down on the switch (R), the same as for
starting. When through sewing, pull the plug
out of the electric outlet, and wrap the cord
around the machine.
Do not run the machine
or motor except when sewing.
To Change the Speed
Two sewing speeds are provided; a slower
speed for careful work, or for young children,
and a faster speed for ordinary straight work.
To change to a different speed, remove the
guard (X, Fig. 3) over the motor pulley by
pressing it downward and sliding it back.
For the slow speed, move the belt to the out-
side grooves (V) in the two pulleys, as shown
in Fig. 3. For the faster speed, move the belt
to the inner grooves (W) in the pulleys. Be
careful not to stretch the belt.
Then replace the guard with it two slots over
the metal tabs in the base, press it down and
forward into place.
If the motor stalls or the rubber roller slips on
the hand wheel, it is because the work being
sewn is to heavy for the machine.
If the rubber roller or the rubber belt should
slip when doing ordinary sewing, they may
have become hard and brittle with age and
should be replaced.
