 Directions for use
These service instructions are intended to be used by service workshop personnel, or by
salesmen 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 machine. 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 wrist band 412 23 02-01 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 cases 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.

relation to the needle .
