5.1 Grundlæggende betjening

• Tænd/sluk: The machine is powered on when plugged in and the foot controller is engaged. Disconnect from power to turn off.
• Variable-Speed Foot Controller: Control the sewing speed by applying pressure to the foot controller. Start slowly and gradually increase speed as you become comfortable. The maximum sewing speed is 1725 rpm.
• Knee-Activated Frame Drop: Utilize the knee lifter to raise and lower the frame, allowing for simple insertion and removal of fabric without using your hands.
• Swing-Away Plate: For sewing flat pieces, such as drapery, the swing-away plate can be moved to provide a flat work surface.

5.2 Stitch Adjustment

• Skip-Stitch Function: The machine features a 1:1 to 2:1 true skip-stitch function. This allows you to select whether every stitch is formed (1:1) or every other stitch is skipped (2:1), which is useful for different fabric types and desired stitch invisibility.
• Stitch Penetration: Adjust the stitch penetration using the dedicated dial. This controls how deeply the needle penetrates the fabric, with a range of 0 to 7 mm stitch length. Proper adjustment is crucial for achieving an invisible blindstitch.

5.3 Fabric Handling

The 700SB is designed to handle a wide range of fabrics, from fine sheer materials to heavier woolens. When changing fabric types, it is often necessary to adjust the stitch penetration, thread tension, and potentially the needle size to achieve optimal results.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din symaskines levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• Rensning: Regularly remove lint and dust from the needle plate area, feed dogs, and bobbin case using a small brush or vacuum cleaner. Accumulation of lint can affect stitch quality and machine operation.
• Smøring: The 700SB requires manual lubrication. Refer to the oiling points diagram in the separate troubleshooting guide. Apply a few drops of high-quality sewing machine oil to these points periodically, especially after extended use.
• Udskiftning af nåle: Replace needles frequently, especially when working with new projects or if you notice skipped stitches or fabric damage. A dull or bent needle can cause significant issues.
• Generel pleje: Keep the machine covered when not in use to protect it from dust. Avoid pulling on the fabric forcefully while sewing, as this can bend the needle or damage the machine's internal mechanisms.

7. Fejlfinding

This section addresses common issues you might encounter. For more detailed troubleshooting steps, refer to the dedicated troubleshooting guide included with your machine.

• Oversprungne sømme: Check if the needle is inserted correctly and is not bent or dull. Ensure the correct needle size is used for the fabric. Verify proper threading and tension.
• Trådbrud: Inspect the threading path for any snags or incorrect routing. Check thread tension; it might be too tight. Ensure the needle is not damaged and is the correct size. Use good quality thread.
• Stoffet fremføres ikke korrekt: Ensure the feed dogs are engaged. Check for lint buildup under the needle plate. Verify that the presser foot is lowered.
• Maskinen starter ikke: Confirm the power cord is securely plugged in and the foot controller is connected. Check for any obstructions in the handwheel or needle area.
