9. Attaching accessories
Warning:
Make sure that the sewing machine is switched
off and the plug has been pulled out of the sok-
ket to prevent accidents caused by un-intentional
switching on.
a) Changing needles
• Turn the handwheel
s
in an anti-clockwise
direction to fully raise the needle.
• Loosen the clamping screw and pull the
old needle out.
• Insert the new needle, with the flat side
toward the back. Insert it up to the top
• and tighten the clamping screw again
well when finished.
b) Changing the stitch plate
At the factory, the "zigzag" stitch plate is
inserted, which can be used for most stitching
work and decorative seams. However, if you
wish to use the darning plate supplied:
• Turn the handwheel
s
in an anti-clockwise
direction to fully raise the needle.
• Insert the darning plate into the existing
zigzag stitch plate so that the flat guide
pins grip into the recesses in the existing
plate.
• If you no longer need the darning plate,
simply remove this again.
