Electrical connection

Connect the lead cord between the socket (8) of the sewing

machine and the wall outlet.

For the USA and Canada:

This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug

is intended to À t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the

plug does not À t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it

still does not À t, contact a qualiÀ ed electrician to install the

proper outlet.

DO NOT modify the plug in any way!

Connecting the foot control

Connect the plug of the foot control to the connection socket

(9) of the sewing machine.

The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot control.

upwards and towards you.

Arranging the accessories

The standard accessories are marked with numbers.

Accessories

(see also pages 1:4-1:5)

Note: Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can

cause discoloration on other fabric but also on your

sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difÀ cult or

impossible to remove.

Fleece and denim fabric in especially red and blue often

contain a lot of excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment

contains a lot of excess dye, always pre-wash it before

sewing/embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

Technical section

Preparing the machine for bobbin winding

Place an empty bobbin so that the black pin of the bobbin

winder snaps into the slot of the bobbin. The Pfaff logo is

facing up.

Removing the accessory tray (free arm)

In order to sew using the free arm, swing the accessory

tray to the left and lift it upwards out of the hole. When

replacing the tray, make sure it is Á ush with the free arm of

Thread tension

To obtain a perfect seam appearance and durability make

sure the needle and bobbin thread tensions are correctly

adjusted with regard to each other, i.e. the threads evenly

meet between the two fabric layers.

The following is valid for general sewing:

Bobbin thread is visible on the top side of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too tight or the bobbin thread

tension is too loose.

The thread tension must be corrected.

Top thread is visible on the underside of the fabric:

The needle thread tension is too loose or the bobbin thread

tension is too tight.

The thread tension must be corrected.

For decorative stitches and buttonholes the top thread

should be visible on the underside of the fabric.

Hold the bobbin door (26) at the left side and open it

towards the front
