SINGER 7106 - Manual (Page 12)

needle-fabric combinations
Correct needle selection is closely related to
stitch quality and appearance. Damaged fabric
is almost always caused by a needle that is
bent, burred or that is an inappropriate style
for the fabric and thread you are using.
The three types of needles most commonly used
are the regular, ball point, and wedge. To
obtain good results, the correct size and type
of needle for the fabric and thread you are
using must be chosen. Refer to the Fabric,
Thread and Needle Table, page 8. Result of Using a Bent Needle
operating the machine
CONNECTING MACHINE
• Before plugging in your machine, be sure
the electrical information on the side of the
machine A, below the hand wheel agrees
with the range marked on your electrical
meter.
• Connect plug B to machine and plug C to
your socket outlet.
• To turn the machine and light on or off,
press switch as shown.
• To run the machine and control speed,
press the speed controller D with your foot.
The harder you press, the faster the ma­
chine will sew.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power line plug from
the socket outlet when changing needles, feet
or needle plates or when leaving the machine
unattended. This eliminates the possibility of
starting the machine by accidentally pressing
the speed controller.
