3. Getting Ready to Sew

Napajanje vaše mašine

To power your Singer 3342 sewing machine, connect the machine to a power source as illustrated. Ensure the machine is equipped with a polarized plug. The foot control regulates the sewing speed. When the foot control is disconnected, the machine will not operate.

Always turn the main switch to "O" (off) when connecting or disconnecting the power cord.

UPOZORENJE:

• For machines with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

Refer to the manual for detailed diagrams on winding the bobbin, threading the upper thread, and drawing up the bobbin thread.

4. Start Sewing

Stitch Formation

Proper stitch formation is crucial for quality sewing. The manual illustrates how upper thread and bobbin thread interlock to form a balanced stitch. Incorrect tension can lead to loose stitches or loops on the fabric surface.

Podešavanje napetosti

The thread tension dial allows you to select the correct tension. A range of settings between 0 and 9 is available. For most sewing, a setting between 3 and 5 is suitable. If the upper thread appears too loose, increase the number. If the bobbin thread appears too loose, decrease the number.

Image: Manual page illustrating correct stitch formation, how to adjust thread tension, and common issues like loose upper or bobbin thread.

Točkić za biranje šavova

The Stitch Selector Dial is used to choose the desired stitch pattern. Turn the dial to align the desired stitch with the indicator. The manual provides diagrams for various stitch patterns, including straight stitch, zigzag stitch, and decorative stitches.

• For straight sewing, the Stitch Width Dial should be set at 0 for the center needle position or 2.5 for the left needle position.
• For grey stitch patterns, turn the Stitch Selector Dial until it clicks into place. Set the Stitch Length Dial according to the length you want.

Promjena stopice

Always turn off the machine before changing the presser foot. To change the presser foot, raise the presser foot lifter. Press the release lever at the back of the presser foot holder to detach the current foot. Snap on the new presser foot by lowering the presser foot holder until it locks into place.

Sew Easy Foot

The Sew Easy Foot is designed to help you sew the most accurate seams every time. It features guides for various seam allowances. To use, attach the Sew Easy Foot, select your desired seam allowance, and place the fabric with the raw edge aligned with the guide.

5. Rješavanje problema i održavanje

Rješavanje problema

This section provides solutions for common issues you might encounter while using your Singer 3342 sewing machine.

Petlje konca na donjoj strani tkanine

Mogući uzrok: Threading on the underside of the fabric indicates that the upper thread is not correctly threaded, causing the upper thread to take up lever to move freely.

Rješenje: Re-thread the machine, making sure to first raise the presser foot lifter, which opens the tension discs so thread can be properly seated. Pull the upper thread firmly to ensure it is seated correctly.

Navoj na kolutu koji se prikazuje na vrhu tkanine

Mogući uzrok: Too loose upper thread tension.

Rješenje: Reduce upper thread tension (See page 18).

Mogući uzrok: Thread path is obstructed, preventing even tension on top thread.

Rješenje: Check that the top thread path is not obstructed and thread is moving freely through the thread path (See page 14).

Mogući uzrok: Navoj špulice nije u zatezanju kućišta špulice.

Rješenje: Re-thread bobbin (See page 13).

Refer to the manual for more troubleshooting scenarios and their solutions.
