2. Belangrike veiligheidsinstruksies
Wanneer 'n elektriese toestel gebruik word, moet basiese veiligheidsmaatreëls altyd gevolg word, insluitend die volgende:
- Lees alle instruksies voordat u hierdie naaimasjien gebruik.
- Hou vingers weg van alle bewegende dele. Spesiale versigtigheid is nodig rondom die naaimasjiennaald.
- Always use the correct needle plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle to break.
- Moenie aan die materiaal trek of stoot terwyl jy stik nie. Dit kan die naald afbuig en veroorsaak dat dit breek.
- Skakel die naaimasjien af wanneer u enige aanpassings in die naaldarea maak, soos om die naald in te ryg, die naald te vervang, die spoel in te ryg of die persvoet te vervang.
- Ontkoppel altyd die naaimasjien van die elektriese aansluiting wanneer u deksels verwyder, smeer, of wanneer enige ander gebruikerdiensaanpassings gemaak word wat in die instruksiehandleiding genoem word.
- Moet nooit die naaimasjien gebruik as dit 'n beskadigde koord of prop het, as dit nie behoorlik werk nie, of as dit laat val of beskadig is nie.
- Moet nie gebruik waar aërosol (spuit) produkte gebruik word of waar suurstof toegedien word nie.

3.3 Die masjien insny
Proper threading is crucial for good stitch quality. Follow these steps carefully:
- Die spoel opwind: Place an empty bobbin onto the bobbin winder spindle. Guide the thread from the spool pin through the tension disc and around the bobbin several times. Push the spindle to the right and start the machine. Stop when the bobbin is full.
- Die spoel insit: Open the bobbin cover. Insert the wound bobbin into the bobbin case, ensuring the thread unwinds in the correct direction (usually counter-clockwise). Pull the thread through the tension spring and out through the slot.
- Threading the Upper Thread:
- Plaas die draadspoel op die spoelpen.
- Lei die draad deur die boonste draadgids.
- Pull the thread down through the right channel.
- Guide it up through the left channel and into the take-up lever.
- Pull the thread down through the remaining guides to the needle.
- Ryg die naald van voor na agter.

- Naald: Maak die naald losamp screw. Insert the new needle with the flat side facing the back, pushing it up as far as it will go. Tighten the screw securely.
- Drukvoet: Raise the presser foot lifter. Attach the desired presser foot by aligning it with the presser foot holder and lowering the lifter until it snaps into place.
4. Bedryfsinstruksies
4.1 Basic Stitching
After threading, place your fabric under the presser foot. Lower the presser foot. Select your desired stitch pattern and length using the dials. Gently press the foot pedal to start sewing. Guide the fabric smoothly without forcing it.
4.2 Stitch Selection and Adjustment
The Singer M3335 offers 97 stitch applications. Use the stitch selector dial (refer to Figure 3.2) to choose your desired stitch pattern. Adjust stitch length and width as needed using the corresponding dials. Refer to the stitch chart on your machine for guidance.
4.3 Tension Adjustment
Correct thread tension is essential for balanced stitches. Adjust the upper thread tension dial (refer to Figure 3.2) if stitches appear too loose or too tight. A balanced stitch will have the upper and bobbin threads meeting evenly between the fabric layers.
4.4 Reverse Sewing
To secure the beginning and end of a seam, press and hold the reverse lever/button. The machine will sew backward. Release the lever/button to resume forward sewing.
4.5 Free Arm Sewing

5. Onderhoud
Gereelde onderhoud verseker die lang lewensduur en optimale werkverrigting van u naaimasjien.
- Skoonmaak: Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin area, feed dogs, and tension discs using the provided brush or a small soft brush. Always unplug the machine before cleaning.
- Naaldvervanging: Replace the needle frequently, especially after 8-10 hours of sewing or if it becomes bent or dull. A dull needle can cause skipped stitches and fabric damage.
- Olie: Consult a qualified service technician for internal oiling if necessary. Modern sewing machines often require minimal user oiling.
- Berging: When not in use, cover the machine with its dust cover to protect it from dust and debris.
