 Directions for use
These service instructions are intended to be used by service workshop personnel, or by sa-
lesmen who carry out servicing their own districts. They assume a thorough knowledge of the
handling of precision appliances and accessibility to service tools.
The manual is divided into two sections and covers all service operations and checks which
should be carried out when making a complete overhaul of a sewing machine.
The first section deals with the various settings which must be maintained to ensure that the
machine functions satisfactorily.
The second section covers dismantling and mounting instructions.
The diagrams only give indication as to where the detail or mechanism is located in the machi-
ne.
For more detailed information regarding the construction, etc., refer to the diagrams in the
spare parts list.

ESD

ATTENTION!
It is of the utmost importance that precautions are being taken in order to avoid damage of the
electronics by electro static discharges ESD (=Electro Static Discharge). To avoid that these
errors arise it is important to handle loose circuit boards in a controlled way.

Always use ESD mat and wrist band when servicing.

 Service tools
A reasonable requirement in a domestic sewing machine is that it should able to sew all types
of fabrics used in the home. The settings made when assembling and sewing-in the machines
are those most suited to give the best results in the majority of fabrics and fabric combinations.
In doing so, consideration has been given to the requirements of different markets. This does,
however, mean that when sewing extreme fabrics, better results may be obtained in certain ca-
ses by altering the settings. It must be pointed out that these altered settings can cause poorer
results on more normal fabrics. How the different standard ratings are set can be seen from the
description under each setting instruction. The following list of setting gauges and service tools
is intended as an instruction about the special service tools needed to servicing this machine.

1.On several different occasions the needle is used as a setting gauge. The setting ratings are adapted
to needle 90.Make sure to use an undamaged needle.
