The sewing machine "Seagull-142m" is a legendary model produced during the Soviet Union and the most popular, today is experiencing a second birth. It is enough to know what is the difference between its modern and classic versions, in order to say with confidence that this technique and today quite meets its leader status in the mass segment of the market. It is quite simple to manage it. The manual for the operation of technology provides comprehensive recommendations and makes it easy to understand this issue.
A detailed manual for setting up and adjustment simply simplifies the machine repair, if the breakage is insignificant. It will help to understand how to fill the thread, install the paw or eliminate the tagging of matter. It matters and the correct care for the selected technique. If all rules were respected during its operation, serious problems with sewing will be avoided.
Specifications
The classic sewing machine "Seagull-142M" is one of the first models of Soviet sewing equipment capable of performing many operations. It was produced in several modifications:
- 142m-22 and its version - in the presence of a table-cabinet, a foot drive;
- 142m-33 - with electric drive, stand, suitcase;
- 142M-22-33 - unifying functionality of previous versions, with 2 types of drive mechanisms.
Depending on the drive, the machine runs from the foot pedal or electrical energy. The mass of the model 142m-33 is 16 kg, other modifications - 39 kg. The operating frequency of the machine is up to 1000 rpm, in stock 12 sewing operations, maximum width and stitch length - 4 and 5 mm, respectively. The paw rises to a height of 6 mm and more. Included the tension regulator of the upper thread, the nithe chorer, the switch on the sewing zigzag.
The classic foot and electric machine "Seagull 142-M" does not require complex adjustment, but only periodic lubrication, since all parts of the mechanism are metallic.
The equipment is adapted to work with silk, woolen, linen, cotton fabrics, while using a double needle, decorative seams can be performed.
The modern version of the Electromechanical sewing machine Chayka 142m is produced in Vietnam. It is much easier for its predecessor - only 5.7 kg. Among its preserved options are a vertical shuttle, lever switching reverse stroke, lifting legs with an additional height margin for sewing heavy and thick tissues. There remained the same and length indicators, stitch widths, the presence of the upper thread tension regulator.
Differences can be attributed Horizontal arrangement of the coil rod, increasing the number of available operations . Now they are 19, in stock swelling of the loop in semi-automatic mode, the creation of overlock seams, knitted, elastic zigzag. Machine makes secret and decorative stitches. The needle with a straight line can have a central position or shift to the right.
Equipment
In the set of supplies of the modern sewing machine Chayka 142m there is a soft case that protects it from dust during storage, soft felt gasket. Additionally In stock Facility for plowing the fabric, the rod for fixing the coil in a vertical position, as well as the small and large holders.
To configure and adjust the kit there is a screwdriver-key, oil with lubricant. The manufacturer added accessories to the typewriter: a set of 3 needles, 4 plastic bobbins, ductile platinum, a special focusing guide, a frame for creating loops in semi-automatic mode. Among the available legs: a universal, designed for stitching lightning, for sewing buttons.
A set of accessories consisting of: was also attached to the "Seagull-142M" model of the Soviet sample.
- Boxes for accessories;
- Masliners for lubricating mechanisms;
- 2 screwdrivers of different sizes for adjustment of technology;
- 5 single and 3 double-rod needles;
- Corkscale plate;
- 4 bursts;
- brushes for cleaning;
- Spare lamp;
- plowing and filamentant;
- 6 paws in addition to universal;
- Accessory for creating a secret seam.
In addition, the kit was a suitcase-case or a closet table depending on the modification of the machine. In general, we can say that the manufacturer does not save today on the convenience of users.
User manual
To describe the management and settings of sewing machines "Seagull-142m" and Chayka 142m In comparison, it is necessary to consider equivalent modifications with electrical drive from the very beginning. Legs with a belt today are not released. Setting and adjusting the technique always starts with lubrication. All work strictly With a disabled electric drive.
Refueling
Before you start using sewing machine "Seagull-142m", you need to take care On the correct refueling of the thread. To do this, you need to install a needle in position in which the yarn grooves will be sent to the operator, and the spinal portion of the flask turns out to be rotated in the opposite direction. When immersed in the touch plate should not be. If it happens You need to hold positioning using the needle product - its screws are weakened, the position is selected strictly in the center.
Next, you can move directly to the filament of the thread. The bottom is on the bobbin and needs indoors inside the punk cap of the shuttle mechanism. It is removed from the car before refueling. The bobbin is placed inward so that its rotation takes place clockwise. The free end of the thread 10-15 cm long is carried out through the slot, roll under the spring and fasten in a special groove, checking the freedom of rotation.
The upper tensioner is also refueling in a certain order, With the obligatory lifting of the needle and paws until the stop is up. After that, the core is drawn from the body from above to install the coil during storage, and it is placed in its place. Thread tip:
- stretched through the guide from above;
- It is held on the right left between the disk mechanism of the tension regulator;
- excreted into the ear in the lever;
- lowers down through the spring;
- Enters the nitential placed in the needleidor;
- It has been done to the needle hand by hand or a filamentant.
In the machines of the new sample, part of the nitenastive mechanism is hidden in the housing for a special panel. The sequence of actions when refilling is depicted on the explanatory drawings immediately, they do not need to be signed in the manual.
Wreathing
In the machines of the old sample, the pin to install the bobbin is located on top of the case, where the main coil is located. Thread is removed from refueling, spend through a special tensioner, in several revolutions manually fasten on the spool, install it onto the mount, they are allowed to stop. The flywheel is translated into the idle position, after which an effort from the drive is supplied to the winder and winding is carried out. When filling off spool stops, the stop will happen automatically.
On the machine of the new sample, the winding of the thread occurs in a similar way. The whole scheme is applied to the housing in the form of tips.
Control
In order to start sewing, you need to select the desired type of line on the left control panel control panel, and on the right to set the "0" mark with the corresponding pointer over the central axis (corresponds to the position of the clock arrows on "12"). The lower rotating controller is exhibited the length of the stitch - it depends on the thickness of the tissue, increases in proportion to its growth. To work with low density materials, a position is 1.5-2 mm.
To change the sewing direction (reverse), it is necessary to translate the lever to the right of the stitch length regulator until it stops down, fix the scope and release. He himself will take regular position. To increase or decrease the turnover of the machine, the foot pedal is used.
Changing the effort when you press it will give the desired effect. The pedal only works when connecting the device to the network.
In the car you can adjust the rise of the teeth of the lower conveyor. To do this, the plate closing access to the shuttle compartment is dismantled from the platform. When the regulator is detected, it is placed in the desired position. Marking "B" is relevant for embroidery and cutting operations (it is better to perform with a minimal zigzag step). The letter "H" is suitable for most materials, especially thin textiles sew in the "sh" position.
In the model of the new sample, the reverse is located on the panel closer to the needle name, hidden in the case. Regulators 2 and they are on each other . The top is responsible for the stitch parameters, the lower - for choosing a line type.
Care
In order for the sewing machine to demonstrate the necessary efficiency, it requires the correct care. Start standing with visual inspection of the case . It is necessary to remove all visible pollution from its surface, dust. After that, you can proceed to dismantling removable items. In the old version, it was possible to remove the top cover, in the new it is seated, and access for lubrication mechanisms is presented in a limited volume.
Mandatory torque in the process of care is to clean the shuttle compartment from the tissues stuck in the mechanism. These works are conducted with a needle raised and fixed in the upper position. Also, it and the paw can be completely dismantled. Freeing access to the mechanism, you need to lubricate all the fuel parts using the oil. It is enough 2-3 drops on each node.
Possible malfunctions and repair
The main reasons for the breakdown of modern CHAYKA 142M cars are usually reduced to the violation of standard adjustments and settings. They are enough to return to factory values or correct before troubleshooting. For example, with an improper tension, the thread always loops the lower line or the chain of the upper stitches is obtained with a defect.
The old models of the "Seagull-142m" machines over time fails or a gear belt of the electric drive is knocked down. If this happened, The main and lower shaft is expertly. The line in this case will have traces of skips. For new cars, such a problem is also found, and for amendments, the belt position has to dismantle the facial panel of the case, since this item is hidden inside it.
Other typical faults include a thread break. Among its reasons - curvature and blunt needle or its improper position. Also, a needle product can also be disfigured or scored a shuttle. But most often the reason lies in the wrong tension of the thread.
And if the modern machine is regulated by special tuning nodes and requires only periodic removal of the garbage accumulated between flat discs, then the adjustment is carried out manually in the models of the old sample.
To begin with, the control line is made needed to identify the problem. If the seam has pronounced defects, it is recommended:
- check the correct position of the spool;
- Control the refueling of the upper tensioner;
- to inspect the mechanical interference detection;
- Check the type of needle and thread.
Not all defects can be eliminated independently . If during the elimination of the specified problems the line remains uneven, you need to seek the diagnostics to the service center. The reason may be a production marriage or breakdown of the details of the mechanism.
If the case is in the tension of the upper thread, it will be enough to loosen it by 0.5 steps. After that, a test seam is performed. Adjustment continues until the result becomes satisfactory. If it's about the bottom thread, A screwdriver need to loosen the screw of the shuttle mechanism towards the direction counterclockwise.
