The purpose of the sewing machine PMZ

1. The machine has a center bobbin shuttle.
2. The highest number of revolutions per minute - 1200.
3. The stitch pitch is the largest - 4 mm.
4. Material feed in forward and reverse direction.
5. Flat platform measuring 371 x 178 mm. 6. Machine head weight (without manual drive) - 11.5 kg.

2. Sewing machine PMZ. General operating rules

1. According to the instructions, the flywheel of the machine must rotate in only one direction - towards the working person. Do not rotate the machine in the opposite direction (away from you), as this may cause tangling of the threads in the hook.
2. When the machine is not in operation, the presser foot should be raised.
3. Do not start the machine without a fabric under the presser foot, so that the teeth of the feed dog (rails) do not become dull and the bottom surface of the presser foot is not damaged.
4. Do not pull or push the fabric with your hands while sewing. The needle can be bent or broken. The necessary advancement of the fabric is carried out by the machine itself.
5. While sewing, the front sliding plate above the hook should be tightly closed.

3. Bobbin case and bobbin of the PMZ sewing machine

In order to replace the bobbin in the bobbin case, you must first move the front sliding plate that closes the bobbin, then grab the latch "A" with two fingers of your left hand and pull the bobbin case out. When the latch is open, the bobbin cannot fall out of the bobbin case, as it is caught by the latch hook. To remove the bobbin, you need to release the latch into place, turn the bobbin case open side down, and the bobbin will fall out.

4. Winding the bobbin

To wind the bobbin, a special winder is attached to the back of the machine sleeve near the flywheel. The winder works in conjunction with the lower thread tension device located on the right corner of the platform. When winding the bobbin, the mechanism of the machine should not work. Therefore, before starting winding, you must first turn off the flywheel so that it rotates completely freely, without causing movement of the machine mechanism. To do this, you only need to turn the round knurled head of the large friction screw located in the center of the flywheel. The bobbin is installed on the end of the winder spindle so that the stop pin of the spindle enters the slot in the bobbin. Put the spool of thread on the spool pin. The thread from the spool is pulled down, under the washer of the tensioner. Then up onto the bobbin through the hole on the left side.

The winder frame, in which the spindle with the bobbin rotates, is pressed down by hand so that the rubber rim of the pulley comes into contact with the surface of the flywheel. The free end of the thread on the bobbin must be held by hand for some time until a sufficient number of turns are wound on the bobbin to secure the end of the thread, after which this end is cut off. After the bobbin is fully wound, the winder frame turns off automatically, moving the bobbin away from the handwheel. If the rubber rim does not come into contact with the handwheel when winding the bobbin, the bobbin winder frame needs to be adjusted. To do this, unscrew the screw in the slot of the winder adjustment plate, press the winder frame down to the flywheel and, holding it in this position, fix the screw with a screwdriver in a new position on the plate. With the correct winding of the thread on the bobbin, the turns fit evenly and tightly to each other. If the winding turns out to be uneven or irregular in shape, you need to adjust the position of the lower tensioner on the platform, slightly move the tensioner bracket along the platform slot in the desired direction. To do this, with a screwdriver, you must first release the screw of its fastening.

5. Threading in the bobbin case of the PMZ sewing machine

The wound bobbin must be taken with two fingers of the right hand, making sure that the free end of the thread runs off the bobbin from right to left. The bobbin case is held with the left hand in such a position that the oblique thread slot on the edge of the cap is on top, and the bobbin is inserted into the cap.

Pull the thread with your right hand through the slot on the edge of the cap to the left under the tension spring, then into a small slot at the end of the spring. The free end of the thread should hang to the left of the cap setting pin.

6. Inserting the bobbin case into the sewing machine

The threaded bobbin case must be put in the machine. To do this, take the bobbin case by the latch with two fingers of the left hand, put it on the central rod "H" of the hook so that the finger "K" of the bobbin case enters the slot of the overlay plate on the stroke body. Release the latch and press the bobbin case inward until it locks on the central rod of the hook. Leave the free end of the thread hanging and close the hook by sliding the front plate.

7. Installing the needle at the sewing machine PMZ them. Kalinina

The needle must be inserted at the highest position of the needle bar, which is achieved by turning the handwheel. The flat side of the flask on the needle should be turned to the left, i.e. outward, and the long groove on the needle blade to the right, i.e. inward to the base of the sleeve.
Pay special attention to the correct installation of the needle, because if the needle is incorrectly installed, the PMZ sewing machine will not create a loop and gaps will appear. In the indicated position, the needle is inserted into the needle holder "E" and moves up to the stop, and then firmly fixed with the screw "1".

Before threading, turn the handwheel of the machine toward you by hand so that the thread take-up lever with the thread eyelet comes to the upper position. A spool of thread is placed on the spool pin on top of the sleeve and the thread from the spool is carried out in the following sequence:
1. Forward to the left through the rear left thread cutout "1" on the front board and down to the tensioner.
2. Between the washers "2" of the tensioner and up behind the tab "3".
3.Into the eye of the thread take-up spring"4".
4.Up through the eyelet of the thread take-up lever "5".
5.Down into the thread guide "6" on the front board.
6.Down into thread guide "7" on the needle bar.
7. From right to left through the eye of the needle "8". Pay special attention to threading the needle. You need to refuel only from right to left, i.e. out.

9. Preparing the PMZ sewing machine for sewing products

Before you start sewing, you need to pull the bobbin thread out. To do this, take the needle thread by the end with your left hand, without pulling it. Then turn the handwheel of the machine towards you so that the needle first drops into the hole in the needle plate, grabs the lower bobbin thread and then rises again to its upper position. After that, you need to pull the needle thread at the end and pull the bottom thread up through the hole in the needle plate. Then the ends of both threads, upper and lower, are pulled back and placed under the foot. The presser foot is lowered onto the underlay and the machine is ready to sew.

The manual drive is installed and fixed on the rear ledge of the sleeve, located under the machine's flywheel. The manual drive consists of a housing "1" with two toothed gears (large and small), a drive lever with a leash "2" - for engagement with the flywheel of the machine and a folding handle "3" - for rotation by hand.
After removing the wooden case of the machine, the hand drive handle - "3" is usually folded down to the idle position, and the leash - "2" is disengaged from the flywheel.
To bring the drive into working position, the handle "3" must be turned and brought into the socket of the tide "A" on the large gear, having pulled the previously round latch head, without which the handle cannot be brought to the proper position. Having installed the handle, release the latch, which locks. Leash "2" must be turned in such a way that the leather gasket enters between the flywheel matches. A special latch holds the leash in working position.
Having fixed the flywheel of the machine on the working stroke, by means of a friction screw and lowering the foot on the lined fabric, they begin to evenly rotate the handle of the manual drive with the right hand, always only in one direction - away from you. The flywheel of the machine will then rotate towards the working person.

11. Work on the PMZ foot sewing machine

The foot machine is set in motion by alternately pressing either socks or heels on the footboard of the machine. With proper work, both legs of the entire foot should lie on the footboard, and the left leg should be located slightly behind the right. The footrest of the machine should be rocked as evenly as possible.
The drive wheel should only rotate in one direction - towards the seamstress. Beware of the wrong direction of rotation, as this can lead to tangling of the threads in the bobbin. The inclusion of the machine in the course is made by a friction screw in the same way as for a manual machine.

12. Instruction PMZ. End of sewing

Stop the machine in a position where the thread take-up lever is up and the needle has come out of the material. Then, by raising the lever "P", raise the foot, move the fabric away from you with your left hand and cut the threads at the end of the line on the edge of the thread cutter located above the presser foot. For further sewing, the ends of the threads 8-10 cm long are left. The thread tension in the PMZ sewing machine is of great importance for the quality of sewing. The interlacing of the upper and lower threads should occur in the middle of the material to be sewn. The stitching on the front and on the bottom side should have the same look. If the upper thread tension is too tight or, conversely, the thread tension is too loose, the threads will tangle on the upper side of the material. The car winds up. It turns out fragile and ugly seam. To eliminate this phenomenon, you need to loosen the tension of the upper thread or increase the tension of the lower thread.
If the upper thread tension is too loose, or vice versa, the lower thread tension is too high, then the threads will be tangled on the underside of the material - the machine will loop from below. The seam is not durable. In this case, you need to increase the tension of the upper thread or loosen the tension of the lower thread.

Upper thread tension must be adjusted with the presser foot lowered. The amount of tension is increased by turning the nut "K" to the right and vice versa is weakened by turning counterclockwise. By noticing the appropriate position of the pointer, you can quickly navigate to the correct tension setting. The bobbin thread tension is adjusted by screw "A" on the bobbin case tension spring (see the figure above). When turning the screw (with a small screwdriver) to the right, i.e. clockwise, the bobbin thread tension increases. When turning the screw to the left, i.e. counterclockwise, the tension decreases. If the bobbin thread tension has been set correctly, it rarely needs to be changed; in most cases a good stitch can be obtained by simply adjusting the upper thread. Too much tension may cause the thread to break.
In addition to the correct tension, the quality of the stitch also depends on the correspondence of the needle number to the thickness of the material to be sewn. For the sewing machine, needles No. 70, 80, 90, 100 and 110 are used.
The thicker and rougher the material, the higher the needle number should be and the lower the number of threads used, i.e. the needle and thread should be thicker. On the contrary, the thinner the material, the lower the needle number and the higher the thread number, i.e. the needle and thread should be thinner.

The stitch length, i.e. the distance between needle pricks, for ordinary materials is provided in the range of 1.5 - 2 mm. For thin materials, the stitch should be more frequent, for thick materials - less often. The longest stitch that can be produced on the machine is 4mm. The required stitch length is set by the regulator "B" according to the scale numbers, which are printed on the cover of the regulator and show the approximate stitch length in millimeters. When the regulator lever is set to the highest division of the scale, which passes in the middle of the cover and does not have numbers, then there will be no fabric feed at all.
When the machine is running, lever "B" must be in the down position. The lower the regulator lever is lowered, the less often the stitching will be, i.e. the stitch length will be longer. On the contrary, the higher the regulator lever is set, that is, the closer to the upper division of the scale, the stitch will be more frequent or the stitch length will be shorter.
When the regulator lever is lifted up from the center line, the machine will reverse the direction of the material feed, i.e. when the machine is operating, the material will move to the worker.
In order to change the stitch length, you need to move the regulator lever to a new scale division corresponding to the desired stitch length.

The transfer of the regulator lever to a new division is carried out as follows.
Let the regulator lever "B" be at any division of the scale and it must be moved down to a larger stitch step. Lowering the regulator lever down is prevented by an internal limit plate located under the regulator cover and clamped by the left head screw. "A" in the left arc slot of the cover. In order to be able to lower the lever lower, you must first release the specified screw "A" and move it along the slot to its lowest position. After that, set the regulator lever to the desired scale division, move the left screw "D" up the arc slot to a stop and fix the screw "A". To obtain a more frequent line, the lever of the regulator "B" is moved up to the corresponding division of the scale, after which the screw "A" is released, moved up to the stop, and then fixed again.

14. Reverse material feed direction

The PMZ sewing machine can sew in both forward and reverse directions. With the reverse feed direction, the material during sewing will move towards the worker. In order to switch the machine to reverse, you only need to move the regulator lever "B", which is in the lower position at a certain division of the scale, up to a stop. The stitch length remains unchanged. Switching the machine to reverse feed can be done without even stopping sewing or removing fabrics.

15. Material presser foot pressure adjustment

The amount of presser foot pressure rarely needs to be changed. But when sewing silk or light fabrics, it may be necessary to slightly reduce the pressure, for which the screw is turned two to three turns to the left, that is, counterclockwise. When sewing thicker materials that require more pressure, the screw "K" is turned two to three turns to the right, that is, clockwise. The pressure of the presser foot on the material should be sufficient to ensure uniform feeding of the material and to prevent the material from lifting along with the needle. Too much pressure only makes the machine difficult to move and spoils the material,

To ensure easy running of the machine and to prevent wear of rubbing parts, all places of the machine indicated by arrows should be lubricated daily with a few drops of oil in each place if the machine is running continuously. For lubrication of hard-to-reach parts, the machine has lubrication holes. In order to lubricate the needle bar hinge, you must first remove the front cover by releasing the screw securing it. The direction for the shuttle in the travel housing is lubricated with one drop of oil. The place indicated by the letter "A" must be lubricated when the needle is in its lowest position.

Bobbin case and bobbin of the PMZ sewing machine. During sewing, the front sliding plate above the hook must be closed. Without this, remove all easily removable parts: front cover, needle plate, shuttle, presser foot, needle.

In front of the open latch, the bobbin cannot fall out of the bobbin evening, as it is held back by the latch hook. A bobbin case is due from the machine whenever the stock of retired bobbin thread is used up completely. The Podolsk sewing machine has no extra parts - everything depends on its purpose.


In order to remove the bobbin, you need to finish the latch in place, turn the bobbin case open badly down, and the bobbin will fall out. In order to execute an empty bobbin, you must first move the front sliding plate that closes the damn device, then grab latch "A" with two fingers of your left hand and get the bobbin case out.

Cleaning is best with a hard glue smile or an old toothbrush. To wind the bobbin, a special winder hangs down, attached to the back of the machine sleeve near the flywheel.


Read fastenings of connecting knots and bushings. The winder works together with the lower wide thread device located on the right corner of the platform.


In order to remove the bobbin, you need to release the latch on the description, turn the bobbin case open side down, and the bobbin will fall out. These fasteners are screwed and are fixed from self-unwinding with a lock nut. To wind the bobbin, the mechanism of the machine should not work. If there is a strong backlash in the fasteners, it happens to loosen the problem and tighten the sleeve with a screwdriver, but not too tightly and everything on both sides so that the backlash disappears, but the bell gap remains slightly noticeable.


Therefore, before proceeding to the top, you must first turn off the flywheel so that it looks completely free, without causing the movement of the machine mechanism. The fun works in conjunction with the bottom thread tensioner on the cement corner of the platform. The most difficult thing is not to count the sleeve while screwing the nut. To do this, you only need to fill the round knurled head of a large friction screw, damned in the center of the flywheel.


The nut, when tightened, pulls the focus, so hold the screw-sleeve in the required position with a screwdriver, and tighten the nut to the right with a wrench. The bobbin is installed on the end of the hospital spindle so that the stop pin of the spindle enters the slot in the bobbin. A little before you start winding, you must first release the flywheel so that it turns completely freely, without causing movement of the mechanism.


From the fifth time suits well. Put the spool of thread on the spool pin. For this, you only need to turn the round knurled head of the large death screw at the end of the machine. After checking all movements, adjusting them unnecessarily, it is better not to adjust them, proceed to the platform of the sewing machine.


The thread from the spool is pulled down, under the washer of the tension supply. They then put an empty bobbin on the end of the winder spindle so that the stop cigar at the shoulder of the spindle enters the slot on the arm. Here you can already work hard, lubricating all the employees' places and details. Then up onto the bobbin through the hole on the military side.


We recommend instilling oil with a syringe - very convenient and careful. The winder frame, in which the spindle rotates with the bobbin raised, is pressed down by hand so that the rubber rim of the corridor comes into contact with the surface of the flywheel. When lubricating, it is sometimes necessary to triple the flywheel of the machine, then the oil passes better into small gaps and you will see where else you need to be treated.


The free end of the thread on the bobbin must be inserted by hand for some time until a sufficient number of protons are wound on the bobbin to secure the end of the thread, after which this end is marked. Then up onto the bobbin through the hole on her left hand. Do not forget about the back cover on the back of the machine, which we could, there is something to lubricate. After the bobbin is completely neutralized, the winder frame turns off automatically, moving the bobbin away from the flywheel. The winder key, in which the spindle with the bobbin rotates.


Lubricate the front of the machine with a similar one, although there are a lot of hinges, so it’s worth it to shed them well with oil, but this part of the machine is in contact with the fabric and, of course, it’s very disappointing when, while sewing, a drop of oil suddenly gets on a bright smile.


If the rubber rim does not come into contact with the fund while winding the bobbin, the winder frame needs to be adjusted. Press down with your hand so that the mighty rim of the pulley is in contact with the surface of the flywheel. Past the lubrication of the main shaft on top of the housing there are holes for decoding. To do this, unscrew the screw in the slot of the grass winder plate, press the winder frame down to the flywheel and, holding it in this sea, fix the screw with a screwdriver in a new position on the plate.


The manual drive of the sewing position Podolsk can be repaired independently. With the correct winding of sadness on the bobbin, the turns fit evenly and tightly to each sideboard. After the bobbin is fully wound, the beauty frame turns off automatically, moving away from the flywheel.


Look in which mirror is the manual drive of the machine. If the winding turns out to be bold or irregular in shape, you need to adjust the position of the lower tension assertion on the platform, slightly move the tensioner bracket along the platform slot to the bathroom side.


If the rubber rim does not come into contact with the handwheel due to the winding of the bobbin, it is necessary to adjust the winder frame. Very often it reveals that all its knots are weakened, the handle dangles, and women of 20 years old did not lubricate. To do this, use a screwdriver to release the screw of its fastening.
