Pfaff 1214 User Manual

Changing
the
light
bulb
of
your
Pfaff
is
something
you
can
easily
do
yourself
The
sewing
light
illuminates
the
work
in
front
and
back
of
the
needle
without
casting
a
shadow.
It
is enclosed
in
the
face
cover
of
your
ma
chine.
Changing
the
light
bulb
is
very
simple:
Push
the
burnt-out
light
bulb
into
its socket,
turn
it
left
and
pull
it out
(see
ill.).
Insert
the
new
bulb
and
turn
it
right.
Light
bulbs
for
your
Pfaff
sewing
machine
can
be
obtained
from
your
Pfaff
dealer.
When
handled
properly,
your
Pfaff
will
rarely
develop
any
trouble.
Whenever
you
have
completed
sewing,
be
sure
to
restore
the
original
setting
of
your
machine,
i. e.
turn
the
stitch
selector
to
straight
stitching,
setting
it at
about
2;
turn
the
needle
position
control
to
its
central
position;
raise
the
machine
feed;
switch
your
machine
off
by
pushing
the
master
on-off
button,
and
see
that
the
presser
bar
lifter
is
set
horizontally.
Even
if
you
have
just
sewn
buttonholes
or
darned,
we
recommend
that
you
set
your
machine
for
straight
stitching
again.
If
trouble
should
occur,
check
the
following:
Is
the
needle
still
in
good
condition
and
inserted
properly?
Have
you
selected
the
right
needle
and
thread
from
the
Needle
and
Thread
Chart?
Are
you
sewing
with
a
good
quality
thread?
Has
the
bobbin
case
been
inserted
properly?
For
straight
and
zigzag
stitching,
the
functional
and
decorative-stitch
me
chanism
must
be
disengaged,
To
make
sure
it
is,
push
the
button
on
the
top
cover
of
your
machine.
Are
both
tensions
correctly
balanced?
They
have
been
set
correctly
by
us
and
need
no
adjustment
normally.
Does
your
machine
feed
properly?
The
material
must
be
guided
lightly,
but
must
not
be
pulled.
Before
you
start
sewing,
again
famil
iarize
yourself
with
the
fundamentals
of
machine
operation
until
you
know
them.
Check
to
see
whether
your
sewing
machine
needs
cleaning
or
oiling.
Are
there
pieces
of
thread
wedged
between
the
tension
discs?
To
remove
them,
pull
a
narrow
fabric
strip
be
tween
the
tension
discs.
Has
the
button
with
the
desired
func
tional
or
decorative-stitch
symbol
been
pushed?
Have
the
needle
position
and
the
stitch
length
been
set
accordingly?
The
Pfaff
rotary
hook
will
not
normally
jam,
even
if
the
machine
is handled
improperly.
If
thread
should
happen
to
jam
in
the
raceway
of
the
sewing
hook,
however,
put
a
drop
of
oil
into
the
raceway
and
jerk
the
balance
wheel
back,
then
rock
it
back
and
forth,
with
out
using
any
force.
After
a
short
time,
the
trouble
will
disappear
by
itself.
