Directions
for using the Machine.
A. Special Notes.
The Pfaff Sewing Machine can be supplied as a Treadle
Nachine, Fig. 1: as a Hand-achine, Fig. 2: or as a Hand and
Creadle lachine combined. Fig. 3
If a Treadle Machine Fig. 1,
has been purchased, the following points will have to be attented to.
After unpacking the Machine, pull out the drawer a little and
remove the cover.
The machines are all properiy mounted, threaded, and made
ready for use before they are sent out; but before commencing to
sew, it is absolutely necessary first to acquire thorough expertness
in the practice of the
Treadle-Motion.
To save the wear of the machine in this preliminary
stage disconneet the upper fly-wheel of the machine in the
manner described on page 6.Draw the chair close up to the
machine, and place the right foot upon the treadle, so as to
exert the same amount of force with heel and toes while the
treadle is being worked. Then use the right hand to set the upper
fly-wheel in motion, turning it in the direction towards you,
and keep it going, gently working the treadle. In the next place
practice in the same way with the left foot and then go on to
use both feet.
Do not practice anything else, until you ean manage
to start the machine steadily and slowly, to stop it at will
and to again set it in motion without once doing it the
reverse way.
After a while, the driving band may possibly become relaxed,
thereby interfering with the running of the machine. In that case
the band should be taken asunder and shortened by cutting off a
small piece with a knife.
If after long use a new belt is wanted, one of exactly theView original page 3Page 4 · Read text

same thiekness should be bought, as a thicker belt cannot be used
on the machine.
The fy-wheel and wooden pitman of the stand are so desig-
ned and put together, that, if rendered somewhat slack with wear,
they may readily be steadied again by means of wrench aud serew-
driver.
The new improved treale runs always closely and verysmoothly.
The fly-wheel has a curred steel-erank and runs upon harde-
ned steel-centres.
The stand must be constantly kept well oiled at both sides
of the foot-plate, at both ends of the wooden pitman and at the
points of the fly-wbeel axle-pin.

If a Hand and Treadle Machine combined, Fig. 3,
Figure S.
has been purchased, first get it unpacked, then unlock and remove
the corer.
Then pull out the disconnected handle of the driving apparatas
and fix it on by means of the easy working spring-catch. By
aking off the band from the fly-wheel and by pushing the spring
joint of the moving cum between the spokes of the upper fly-wheel,
the machine is converted to a Hand-Machine, which can be taken
off the stand and worked on any other table.
If the machine is to be used as a Treadle Machine the band
must be put on again,care being taken that it does not graze
against any part along its course.
As regards the treadle motion, again refer to the directions
given on page 3,
When the machine is to be used as a tigadle machine, see
to it, that the moving cam of the hand apparatus which links on toView original page 5Page 6 · Read text

the spokes of the fly-wheel, is first detached; otherwise the operator
cannot avoid breaking the hand apparatus.
The Driving Apparatus must always be kept well oiled.
NB. Before leuving the factory, every Pfaff Machine is sub-
jected to a test so severe,that a heavy running Pfaff Machine is
made imposible. If notwithstanding a machine runs heavily it
must be owing to insufficient oiling and eleaning. - Careful
attention should therefore be paid to the instructions for oiling and
leaning given on page 18 of this book

(Applicable to every description of Pfaff B, C & D Sewing
Machines.)
The Disconnecting of the Fly-wheel
previously referred to on page 3, is accomplished in the following
simple manner.

Take the shuttle in the left hand. holding the pointed end
towards you. Press the small braas disc of the bobbin, which lies
near the point of the shuttle, with the forefinger of the right hand
in the direction of the point of the shuttle. This will cause the
bobbin to be jerked out.
To replace the bobbin in it one end of it into the centre of
the spring-catch at the pointed end of the shuttle, then press the
other end of the bobbin gentle down until it locks into position

The points of the bobbin should be slightly oiled from time
to time.
The Filling of the Bobbin is effected by meansof the Plaff
Universal Winder.
The Pfulf machines are invariably sent out with the winder
threaded and a bobbin half filled on it. Let the arrangement be
attentively stelied before attempting to use the winding apparatus
and the following description will the more easily be understood.View original page 8Page 9 · Read text

Havingfinit disconnected
the fly-wheel of the machine
in the manner before described,
one of the small bobbins must
be placed with both its points

order of sequence. By pulling the hobbin with the left hand some-
what to the left, the end of the thread ean be placed between the
small brass dise and the winder dise, and theré held fast. After
pulling in the slack of the thread by winding it back again on to
the reel, press the winder so firmly against the fly-wheel by means
of the lever ftted on just below the winding apparatus, that it
may no longer fall back but commence winding when the fly-wheel
is set in motion in the ordinary way.

So soon as the bobbin has been sufficiently filled, the winding
apparatas will disconneet itself automatically.This self-acting
disconnection arrangement will enable one to fill a bobbin while
the machine is sewing. But it is nevertheless preferable to fill the
bobbin as a distinct piece of work, because sewingand winding
at one and the same time will as a matter of course always render
the action of the machine heavier.

necessary to press back the thread guide-rod until the winder drops,
or else the bobbin cannot be taken out.
If the rubber ring should get so far worn, that it is no
longer fit for use, and must be replaced by a fresh one, pull the
thread carrier-bar towards you andthe new ring can then be put
on with ease. That done, return the thread carrierbar to its former
position.
Every, part of the winding apparatus liable to friction should
always be kept well oiled.

ascertained that the oye stands true and straight, tighten the needle-

Bent or blunt needles should never be used.
The character, quality, and proper position of the
needles are of the highest importance as resards the effi.
eleney of the machine. If the machine should at any time
fail to work quite faultlessly, let the needle be examined
at once, and, as a rule, the defect will be speedily remedied.
In working the Pfaff Machines only Pfall Needles with the
name Pfaff" on the blunt end should be used viz:
B Needles for Pfall B Jachines
*C&D 19 " " C&D
The thickness of the needles has always to correspond with
that of the thread, as thin needies with thick thread cause the
leaving out of stitches, while thick needles with thin thread cannot
produce fine seams. Choose therefore your needles according to th
lirections given on page 24

The Tension
is always properly regulated, which means that the tension of the
upper or needie thread shall invariably be as strong as that of
theshuttle thread. As regards the degree of ténsion of shuttle
thread, enough has been said in the preceding pages.
The tension of the upper thread is regulated by means of
the tension-screw 21 (Fig. 5). If this screw be turned inwards
the thread will tightens und if outwards it will on the con-
nwards and will form small knots
Whereas if the tension iritoo great, the shuttle thread will
be dragged upwards, or else the needle thread will break. Thick
fabrice require a greater amount of tension on both the needle and
the shuttle threads, than less heavy goods.

used, firat filling it with oil after unserewing the nozzle. The
holes that need oiling are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, •
10, 11, 12 and 13 on the annexed engraving (Fig. 13). Through
the hole No. 2, oil is applied to the most important part
of the machine — the heart of it — by turning the fly-
wheel until a bright eylinder comes into view within the
said hole, upon which a few drops of oil should be poured.
The needle bar too, No. 6, as well as the check lever No. 4 & A
must be constantly kept well eiled.

The Narrow Hemmer. (No. 1.)
Take away the ordinary Sewer-Foot and adjust the Hemmer
instead. Bringone end of the fabric into the front part ofthe
spring spiral of the Hemmer as far as the needle, having first
turned in a length of about one inch to the required width of
hem. Lower the presser and commence to sew, taking care that
the material runs uniformly into the spiral, just as shown on the
engraving Fig. 16.View original page 15Page 16 · Read text
- 16 -
Soft, undressed fabrics present some difficulty when attempted
to run them into the spiral, and for this reason it in advisable to
draw the material into the spiral by means of a thread, previously
attached to the edge of it.
This hemmer will also prodace a beautiful felled hem,and
that to such a degree of perfection,as no other Sewing Machine
as yet introduced has ever accomplished. Hor this purpose the two
sortions of the material to be joined, should just as in hand-sewing
se laid over one another and sown torether in such manner tha
the seam be kept at a uniforn distance from the edge Now cut
the border of theupper cloth somewhat narrower, and pass the
border of the underneath material through the hemmer.
This can be carried out with such accuracy that the Inbrie

This is used in the same wayas the narrow hemmer just
described. It is an excellent Ruffle Hommer, and well adapteil for
hemming and felling course linen.

bring the seam into its proper place
In order to set this hemmer for hems of varving widths,
slightly loosen the serew in theslit of the hemmer, which will
render the graduated slite adjustable.
The narrowest hem will be produced by setting the index
trainst zero; the higher it is set in the numbered scale, the wider
will be the seam. The screw must be tightened again before
commencing to sew.
The Feller. (No. 3.)
This is fitted on in the same way as the hemmer. In

The Guide.
This guide, as Fig. 19 shows, is madefast by means of
the thumb-serewsupplied,and serves to produce a seamthat
shall run even with the edge of the material. The guide should
be moved away from the needle according to the distance of the
seam from the edge of the material. The guide can also be used
with advantage for rows of inside stitching by turning down theView original page 17Page 19 · Read text

In practice, a straight row of stitches must be run, follo-
wing a line first chalked out. Then push the fabric to the right
as far away from the needle, as the rows of stitching are to
stand apart. Thereupon move the guide likewise to the righ
ust far enough to bring its lower end exactly above the first rov
of stitching. In continuing the work it will be necessary to watch
the material, so as to ensure the run of the stitching along the

Conclusion.
Should a Pfaff machine ever go wat of order and be in such
a state that it fails to work faultlessly even if these instructions
are strictly carried out, I request my customers to have the machine
repaired only by the person from whom it hns been bought, or
at the Factory.By no means the machine should be entrusted
to unknown people because by so doing it often happened that such
people have totally damaged the muchine either with the intention
to do so or by ignorance
