Carrying handle

Lift up the carrying handle of the sewing

machine from behind.

Carrying case

The carrying case, which is part of the

basic equipment, protects your sewing

machine from dust and damage during

transport.

Before putting on the carrying case, lift up

the carrying handle. Make sure the sew-

ing machine symbol on the carrying case

is pointing toward you.

Electrical connection

Connect the plug of the foot pedal to the

connection bushing (11) on the sewing

machine and the electrical socket.

The sewing speed is regulated by

pressing the foot pedal. For this sewing

machine has to be used foot controller

TJC-211 (220-240V) or TJC-150 (120V).

Master switch

The sewing lamp lights up when the mas-

ter switch (12) is turned on. The machine

is now ready to sew.

220 V

Operating the machine

11

Accessory compartment

The accessory compartment is found

underneath the detachable work support

(13), that has to be opened.

Organizing the accessories

Place the enclosed accessories into the

accessory compartment.

Removing the detachable work sup-

port /free arm

In order to be able to sew with the free

arm, you must swing the detachable work

support (13) to the left and lift it out of the

hole.

Inserting the detachable work support

Push the pins of the detachable work sup-

port (13) from the left fully into the holes

provided.

When inserting the detachable work sup-

port, make sure that it is Á ush with the

free arm of the sewing machine.

Operating the machine

12

Preparing the machine for bobbin

winding

Pull the handwheel (7) fully to the right.

This will prevent the needle moving while

the machine is winding the bobbin.

Mounting the bobbin

Switch off the master switch (12)

Place the empty bobbin onto the pin of

the bobbin winding mechanism and press

it down as far as possible. Push the bob-

bin to the right.

Note: The bobbin can only be wound if

it is moved fully to the right.

Winding the bobbin

Pull the spool holder (5) up and place a spool on it.

Place the thread clockwise into the bobbin winder tension (2) and run it to the bobbin.

Wind the thread clockwise around the bobbin several times.

Turn the master switch (12) on and press the foot pedal.

Let go of the thread after a few revolutions. As soon as the bobbin is full the winding

action will be stopped automatically. Press the full bobbin to the left and remove it from

the pin.

Operating the machine

13

Winding a bobbin through the needle

It is possible to wind bobbins even when

the machine is threaded. Raise the press-

er bar lifter (26) to the top position. Pull

the thread underneath the presser foot.

Bobbin winder tension

Pass the thread through the bobbin

thread tension (2) in a clockwise direction,

so that it crosses over itself on the way to

the bobbin.

Pull the thread upward through the left-hand threader slot (18). Place the thread from

left to right through the take-up lever (28). Wind the beginning of the thread several

times around the bobbin in a clockwise direction. Hold the end of the thread À rmly and

press the foot pedal.

Tip: While winding the bobbin, gently push down the front of the presser foot with

your finger.

Don·t forget: After winding a bobbin, press the handwheel (7) back to the left!

Operating the machine

14

Hook cover

Switch off the master switch (12).

Hold the side of the hook cover (19) and

open it towards you.

Taking out the bobbin case

Lift the latch of the bobbin case and pull

the bobbin case out. Release the latch

and take out the empty bobbin.

Thread tension

In order to achieve a perfect seam ap-

pearance and durability make sure the

needle tension is correctly adjusted, so

that the thread interlace is not visible on

both sides of the fabric.

The following is valid for general

sewing work:

Thread interlace is visible on the top side

of the fabric:

• The needle thread tension is too tight .

• The thread tension must be lowered.

Thread interlace is visible on the under-

side of the fabric:

• The needle thread tension is too loose.

• The thread tension must be raised.

• For fancy stitches, buttonholes and

darning the thread interlace should be

visible on the underside of the fabric.

Operating the machine

15

Inserting the bobbin

Insert the full bobbin in the bobbin case.

When doing so, pull the thread sideways

through slot A and then under tension

spring B so that it rests in the opening

(see arrow).

Inserting the bobbin case

Lift latch D and push the bobbin case fully

onto pin E of the sewing hook. The bobbin

case À nger F must point into cutout G.

Check:

Pull the bobbin thread sharply. The bobbin

case must not fall out of the hook.

Operating the machine

16

Threading the needle thread

Switch off the master switch (12).

Pull the spool holder (5) up and mount the

thread. Raise the presser bar lifter (26).

Turn the handwheel until the take-up lever

(28) is at its highest position.

Thread by following the steps A to E.

Tip:

All the thread guides have an open-

ing in which you can simply lay the

threads.
