Fine adjustment during sewing buttonholes
Should the buttonhole seams sewn on both sides of the buttonhole not be
uniform in appearance, a fine adjustment can be undertaken as per the
following method:
1. Set the stitch type selector
w
at „F“ and, as a test, sew the left-hand
buttonhole seam on a remant of the same material. Observe the
material feed during the process.
2. Should the sewn left-hand buttonhole seam be too coarse or too fine,
appropriately adjust the material feed using the stitch length selector

3. When the sewing test has produced satisfactory results for the left-
hand buttonhole seam with regard to the feed, sew a right-hand
buttonhole seam and continue to observe the feed.
4. If the buttonhole seam on the right is too fine or too coarse in compari-
son with the left, adjust the button hole fine adjustment screw at the
rear of the machine housing as described below:
When the buttonhole seam on the right appears to be too coarse, adjust
the screw using the supplied large screwdriver
X
in the direction marked
„–“; When the right buttonhole seam is too fine, adjust the screw using
the screwdriver
X
in the direction marked „ +“.
By means of the described method of adjustment it is possible to obtain
