2. Instrucións de funcionamento
This section guides you through the basic operation of your USHA Ayush Sewing Machine.
2.1. Winding the Bobbin
The USHA Ayush features an auto-tripping, spring-loaded bobbin winder for uniform and perfect bobbin winding.
- Coloque unha bobina baleira no eixo da bobinadora.
- Guía o fío desde o portacarretes a través do disco tensor da bobinadora.
- Enrola o fío unhas cantas veces arredor da bobina.
- Push the bobbin winder lever towards the flywheel until it engages.
- Start the machine (either by hand crank or foot pedal if electric). The bobbin will wind automatically and the winder will trip off when the bobbin is full.
- Cut the thread and remove the full bobbin.
2.2. Inserting the Bobbin
A máquina está equipada con un slide plate for easy bobbin insertion.
- Open the slide plate located on the needle plate.
- Insert the bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring the thread unwinds in the correct direction (refer to the markings on the bobbin case).
- Pull the thread through the tension spring of the bobbin case.
- Pecha a placa deslizante.
2.3. Threading the Upper Thread
Follow the numbered threading path indicated on your machine. Generally, this involves:
- Coloque o carrete de fío no portacarretes.
- Guia o fío pola guía de fíos superior.
- Pass the thread through the tension discs.
- Enfie a palanca tirafíos de dereita a esquerda.
- Guide the thread through the lower thread guide.
- Finally, thread the needle from front to back.
2.4. Bringing Up the Bobbin Thread
- Suxeita o fío superior lixeiramente coa man esquerda.
- Turn the handwheel towards you (counter-clockwise) to lower the needle into the needle plate and then bring it back up.
- The upper thread will catch the bobbin thread, forming a loop. Pull this loop up through the needle plate opening.
- Pull both upper and bobbin threads under the presser foot and towards the back of the machine.
2.5. Stitch Regulator and Pressure Adjustment
- Lever Type Stitch Regulator: Your machine features a lever-type stitch regulator. Move the lever up or down to adjust the stitch length. The lever also controls forward and reverse stitching. Push the lever fully down for reverse stitching.
- Screw Type Pressure Adjustment: A screw-type mechanism allows for adjusting the needle bar pressure. This is crucial for different fabric thicknesses. Turn the screw clockwise to increase pressure for thicker fabrics and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure for lighter fabrics. Adjust as needed to prevent skipped stitches or fabric puckering.
2.6. Starting to Sew
