"Duratec" Casting
With the introduction of "Duratec", selfthreading screws have been used to mount many of the
parts and assemblies to the structure. If is important that when replacing these screws, they be
threaded into the original screw threads. The proper procedure for doing this is to insert the
screw into the hole and turn the screw counterclockwise until the screw can be felt to "drop" in
place. An audible "click" may also be herad. Once the screw is properly in place, it may then be
tightened.

The disc follower should be adjusted so that a 0,2 - 0,3 mm play is obtained between its
contact point and the top of the disc tooth.
Check:
2. Set the zig-zag lever to its maximum width.
3. Set pattern selector dial (F) between the letter A and B. In this position the leg of
the quick out lever (G) will be located on the top of the pattern selector cam tooth.
4. There should be then a 0,2 - 0,3 mm play between the disc follower contact point and
the top of the disc tooth (C).
Adjustment:
1. Set the zig-zag lever to its maximum width.
2. Rotate the handwheel until you meet the disc follower contact point on top of the disc
tooth.
3. Set pattern selector dial (F) between the letters A and B. In this position the leg of
the quick out lever (G) will be located on the top of the pattern selector cam tooth.
4. Loose the screw (H).

(G) touches the arm slide block (J).
6. Tighten screw (H).
7. Recheck the play and adjust once again if necessary.
Disc Stack Radial Play

For the disc stack to perform reliably, there should be a minimum of radial play, providing no
binds be experimented along an entire revolution.
Check:
2. Set machine for straight stitch.
3. Rotate the disc stack (C) back and forth. Rotate handwheel for one complete revolution
of the disc stack. By using your fingers, check the radial play at four equidistant points
(each 90 o approximately) during a complete revolution of the disc stack. If there is one
point without radial play in a complete revolution of the disc stack, no adjustment is
needed even tough radial play may exist remaining positions.
Adjustment:
1. Loose the screws (D).
2. Move disc stack assembly (E) toward the worm gear of the arm shaft to eliminate radial
play and away from the worm gear of arm shaft to eliminate bindings.

Needle Bar Height

Three rings are cut into the upper end of the needle bar. The distance between the
center and lower rings represents the rise required to form a thread loop at the eye of
the needle and thus allowing the hook point to catch the thread.
Check:
1. Remove the face plate cover, the presser foot, the needle, the needle plate and the
bobbin case.
2. Insert a size 18 needle in the needle bar.
3. Set machine for straight stitch A.
4. Turn the handwheel toward the front of the machine to bring the needle bar to its
lowest position.
5. Observe the position of the center timing mark (A) with relation to the bottom face
of the upper needle bushing.
6. Turn the handwheel toward the front of the machine to bring the lower timing mark
(B) to the same relative position as previously occupied by the center needle bar
timing mark. In this position the point of the hook (D) should be within the width of
the blade of the needle. Adjust hook timing, if necessary, to satisfy this requirement.
(See pages 104-105)
7. Select zigzag, maximum width pattern D. Turn the handwheel toward the front of
the machine to move the hook point to the rear of the needle when the needle is in
the left zigzag position. The top of the needle eye (E) should be 0,40 mm - 0,80 mm
below the underside of the hook point.
Adjustment:
1. Loose needle bar clamping screw (F) and raise or lower the needle bar to suit the
requirements described above when the needle is in the left zig zag position.
2. Tighten screw (F) (not too much).
3. Needle clamp hub face (C) should be parallel with the front edge of the needle plate.

3. With the presser bar in a raised position, hold a piece of paper in place over the
needle plate, so needle penetration may be observed.
4. Turn handwheel toward the front of the machine.
5. As the needle is rising from the right perforation, the point of the needle should be
moving to the left lightly touching the edge of the paper without enlarging the hole
and should reach its peak of ascent slightly past center of the two extreme positions
of the needle. (Illustration A).
6. On the downward stroke, all lateral movement should cease when the needle point is
5,5 mm - 7,5 mm above the needle plate. The needle must return into the opposite
hole precisely.
Adjustment:
1. Remove the arm top cover.
2. Select the pattern H.
3. Turn the handwheel toward the front of the machine to bring the reference mark (B)
on disc stack opposite the disc follower (C) and by bringing at the same time, the
needle to its lowest position in the left hand sewing of zigzag.
3. Loosen the two screws (D).
4. Advance pendulum timing if needle begins its right to left movement too late by disc
stack (E) slightly to the right (clockwise). Retard pendulum timing if needle begings
its right-to-left movement too soon by disc stack (E) slightly to the left (counterclockwise).

Needle to Hook Relationship

Proper needle to hook relationship is very important to prevent skipping of stitches and
to prevent hook and needle damage.
If the needle is too far from the hook, the hook point will be unable to catch the needle
thread loop and skipping of stitches will occur.
If the needle is too close to the hook, the hook point will strike the needle and may
cause damage to the hook point or even needle breakage.
Before attempting any adjustment, check needle location and hook timing.
Also, visually inspect the hook point. If the point is bent or burred, the hook must be
replaced.
Check:
1. Set the machine for straight stitch, center needle position.
2. Remove presser foot, needle plate, bobin case and the buttonholer actuating lever.
3. Install a 18 needle size.
4. Turn the handwheel toward the front of the machine until the point of the hook is
directly behind the needle. There should be a 0,1 mm clearance to a 0,0 mm
interference between the point of the hook and the needle (see illustration A).
Adjustment:
1. Remove the needle plate, bobbin case, light socket and light shield.
2. Loose screws (A), (B) and (C) (not too much).
3. By using the screw (A) as a pivot, push this assembly (D) forward or backward to
obtain the proper distance between the needle and the hook point (see illustration

play. If either conditions exists, the bobbin winder assembly (F) should be replaced with
a new assembly.
5. Check that the bobbin winder stays in either the left or right position under spring
pressure. If spring pressure is absent, remove top cover and check for presence of spring
(E). If spring is weak, broken or missing, replace with a new spring.
6. Lift up on bobbin winder tension disc (I) and feel for presence of slight tension. If tension
is absent, replace bobbin winder tension assembly.
7. Place bobbin winder to the right (on) position and run machine, check for even rotation
of bobbin winder. If the bobbin winder hesitates or fails to rotate, remove arm top cover
and check for worn or absent bobbin winder ring (G).
8. Thread machine for bobbin winder (illustration J).
9. Wind a bobbin and check if thread is wound evenly, (illustration K), or forms a cone at
either end, (illustration L). The bobbin winder should stop turning when the thread is
wound to 1.5mm (1/16) from the outer rim of the bobbin.
Adjustment:
1. To correct conical winding of the thread, adjust the height of the tension assembly by
turning the adjusting screw (H) clockwise or counterclockwise as necessary.
2. If the bobbin winder stop (C) disengage too soon or fails to operate, loosen screw (B) and
move stop (C) toward the hand wheel to give more thread on the bobbin or away from the
hand wheel, for less thread, tighten screw (B).

Lubrication
In order to meet the customer minimum lubrication requirement, the machine must be
lubricated as indicated on pages 102-103-104 and according to the following
instructions:
l
Only Singer oil and Singer grease must be used.
Use of a parafin based oil, or a non-silicon type grease, will create a build up of
residue on the bearing surfaces.
The self lubricating characteristics of the bearings, will be defeated by clogging of

the pores in the bearing surface, if such oil or grease are used.
All thread, lint or any foreign matter must be removed before lubrication.
Caption:
O = Singer oil
G = Singer grease
Applying Lubrication:
l
Applied to cam bearing surfaces, cover the entire bearing surface.
Applied to gears, cover each tooth.
Applied to slides, cover the entire surface.
Note: Do not apply grease to self-lubricated parts, except for the cam incorporated to
the vertical shaft bevel gear.
