Your benefits at a glance
Minimum oil lubrication
Clean workplace due to minimal oil lubrication of the needle bar and the "Semi-Dry" lubrication concept
The minimum oil lubrication of the needle bar and the hook ensures a clean sewing area and guarantees a long service life of the machines.
Thread nipper
Accurate seam beginning due to the standard thread nipper
The machine achieves an accurate seam beginning by means of the standard thread nipper. It pulls the thread ends to the left material side and thus achieves a clean right fabric side where the seam ends are not visible.
