1. Uvod in varnostne informacije
This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and efficient operation of your Kenmore 385.17627 or 385.17630 sewing machine. Please read all instructions carefully before use to ensure proper function and to prevent injury.
Pomembna varnostna navodila:
- Napravo vedno izključite iz električne vtičnice takoj po uporabi in pred čiščenjem, odstranjevanjem pokrovov ali kakršnimi koli nastavitvami, ki jih izvaja uporabnik.
- Držite prste stran od vseh gibljivih delov. Posebna skrb je potrebna okoli igle šivalnega stroja.
- Uporabite pravilno ploščico igle. Napačna ploščica lahko povzroči, da se igla zlomi.
- Med šivanjem ne vlecite ali potiskajte blaga. To lahko odbije iglo in povzroči, da se zlomi.
- Nikoli ne uporabljajte stroja, če so katere koli zračne odprtine blokirane. Prezračevalne odprtine šivalnega stroja in nožnega regulatorja naj bodo čiste, brez nabiranja vlaken, prahu in ohlapne tkanine.
- Ne delajte tam, kjer se uporabljajo aerosoli (razpršila) ali kjer se dovaja kisik.
2. Identifikacija delov
Familiarize yourself with the various components of your sewing machine:
- Zatič za tuljavo: Drži tuljavo niti.
- Vodnik po nitih: Directs the thread path.
- Številčnica napetosti: Adjusts upper thread tension.
- Vzvod za dvigovanje: Pulls thread from the spool and feeds it to the needle.
- Igla Clamp: Iglo pritrdi na svoje mesto.
- Pritisna tačka: Blago trdno drži ob podajalnikih.
- Igelna plošča: Flat metal plate under the needle, with markings for seam allowances.
- Krmilni psi: Premaknite blago pod šivalno tačko.
- Navijalec vretenca: Navija nit na vretenu.
- Ročno kolo: Ročno dvigne in spusti iglo.
- Gumb za izbiro šiva: Chooses the desired stitch pattern.
- Vzvratna ročica: Allows for backstitching.
- Nožni upravljalnik: Controls sewing speed.
3. Nastavitev
3.1 Razpakiranje in namestitev
- Previdno vzemite stroj iz embalaže.
- Stroj postavite na stabilno, ravno površino.
- Ensure adequate lighting for your work area.
3.2 Napajalni priključek
- Priključite vtič nožnega regulatorja v vtičnico stroja.
- Priključite napajalni kabel v standardno električno vtičnico.
- Vklopite stikalo za vklop, ki se običajno nahaja na strani ali zadnji strani naprave.
3.3 Namestitev igle
- Obrnite ročno kolo proti sebi, da dvignete iglo v najvišji položaj.
- Odvijte iglo clamp vijak.
- Vstavite novo iglo z ravno stranjo obrnjeno proti zadnji strani stroja.
- Iglo potisnite navzgor, kolikor gre.
- Zategnite iglo klamp varno privijte.
3.4 Navijanje vretenca
- Na vreteno navijalca vretenca namestite prazno vreteno.
- Na zatič za navijanje položite tuljavo niti.
- Follow the thread path for bobbin winding, typically indicated by dotted lines on the machine.
- Potisnite vreteno navijala vretenca v desno.
- Press the foot controller to wind the thread. Stop when the bobbin is full.
- Odrežite nit in potisnite vreteno navijalca vretenca nazaj v levo.
4. Navodila za uporabo
4.1 Vdevanje niti v stroj
- Dvignite tačko in iglo v najvišji položaj.
- Namestite tuljavo niti na zatič za tuljavo.
- Follow the numbered or solid line thread path, guiding the thread through all guides and the take-up lever.
- Iglo napeljite od spredaj nazaj.
- Insert the wound bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring the thread unwinds in the correct direction (refer to machine markings).
- Zaprite pokrov vretenca.
- Turn the handwheel to lower and raise the needle once, catching the bobbin thread. Pull both threads under the presser foot and to the back.
4.2 Izbira šivov
- Turn the stitch selector dial to choose your desired stitch pattern (e.g., straight stitch, zigzag).
- Adjust stitch length and width dials as needed for your project.
4.3 Basic Sewing Techniques
- Place fabric under the presser foot, aligning the edge with a seam guide on the needle plate.
- Spustite tačko.
- Za začetek šivanja nežno pritisnite nožni regulator.
- To secure a seam, press the reverse lever at the beginning and end of stitching to backstitch a few stitches.
- When finished, raise the needle and presser foot, then pull the fabric out and cut the threads.
4.4 Adjusting Tension
Proper thread tension is crucial for balanced stitches. If stitches are too loose or too tight, adjust the upper thread tension dial. A balanced stitch shows equal amounts of upper and bobbin thread on both sides of the fabric.
- If upper thread lies flat on fabric: Increase upper tension (turn dial to a higher number).
- If bobbin thread lies flat on fabric: Decrease upper tension (turn dial to a lower number).
5. Vzdrževanje
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and smooth operation of your sewing machine.
5.1 Čiščenje
- Pred čiščenjem stroj vedno izključite iz električnega omrežja.
- Odstranite iglo, tačko in ploščico igle.
- Z majhno krtačko odstranite vlakna in prah z območja vretenca in podajalnikov.
- Zunanjost naprave obrišite z mehko, suho krpo.
5.2 Mazanje (oljenje)
Refer to your machine's specific oiling points, usually indicated in the original manual or by small oiling holes. Use only high-quality sewing machine oil. Do not over-oil.
- Apply a small drop of oil to designated moving parts, such as the hook race and needle bar.
- Run the machine for a few minutes on scrap fabric after oiling to distribute the oil and absorb any excess.
5.3 Zamenjava igle
Replace needles frequently, especially when sewing different fabrics or if you notice skipped stitches or fabric damage. A dull or bent needle can cause significant problems.
- Follow the needle installation steps in Section 3.3.
- Vedno uporabljajte pravilno vrsto in velikost igle za vašo tkanino.
