OVERLOCK 3/4D
P/N 785800851
Dear Customer:
You have just invested in a very fine overlock, Before using your new Kenmore machine, please pause for a moment and carefully read this booklet which contains
instructions on how to operate and care for your machine.
Specific instructions are given on threading, tension adjustments, cleaning, oiling, etc. This will help you obtain the best sewing results and avoid unnecessary service
expense for conditions beyond our control.
Advice on the operation and care of your machine is always available at your nearest Sears Retail Store. Please remember, if you have questions about your machine
or need parts and service, always mention the model number and serial number when you inquire.

Safety Cautions:
• Be sure that the electrical voltage of the wall outlet (wall receptacle) is the same as the rated voltage of the motor.
o Disconnect the power supply plug from the wall outlet when changing needles, presser foot or needle plate, or when leaving the machine unattended.
This eliminates the possibility of starting the machine by accidentally pressing the foot control.
• All covers must be closed when operating the machine.
• Do not pull the fabric while you are stitching as this may deflect the needle, causing it to break.
• Before cleaning your machine, disconnect the power supply plug from the wall outlet.
• Do not attempt to adjust the motor belt. Contact your nearest Service Center should any adjustment be required.
e Handle the foot control with care and avoid dropping it on the floor. Be sure not to place anything on top of it.
e Closely watch the area being sewn to avoid injuries from needles and knives.
® Use only the handle to lift and move the machine.

Finishing to Sew
(]_ Insert the fabric under the toe of
the foot whileaiming to the guide
line with the edge of the fabric.
(It is not necessary to _aise the
foot.)
There are three each of solid and
broken guide lines on the looper
cover.
The solid guide lines indicate the
distance from the right qeedle ana
the broken lines indicate it from
the left one.
The solid and broken lines in
the middle indicate 5/8 inch from
each needle.
(2_ Turn the hand wheel gently toward
you a couple of turns and check the
thread chain. Then start sewing
slowly. The fabric wil be auto-
matically fed. Guide the fabric in
the direction desired.
18
®
(]]) When
stitching is completed,
continue to run the machine slowly
to produce a thread chain for about
12 cm (5") while pulling the thread
chain slightly to the back.

Insert next fabric under the toe of
foot, then start sewing. It is not
necessary to raise the oresser foot for

How to Adjust
e If the sewn fabric is stretched, turn the dial
counter-clockwise (from 1.0 to 2.0) to avoid.
26
® If the sewn fabric is puckered, turn the dial clock-
wise (from 1.0 to 0.7) to avoid.
NOTE:
Maximum differential feed ratio sets automatically to a maximum between 1.7 and 2.0 when the stitch length is set between
3.3 and 4.0.
Maximum stitch length and differential feed ratio cannot be set at the same time. If limits are exceeded for one control dial,
the other dial will automatically set to its maximum.
The puckering may be eliminated by reducing thread tensions as well as adjusting the differential feed ratio.
