The speed developed is determined by how dense the material needs to be processed. It is recommended to use GN 794 for sewing moderately dense to lightweight fabrics. The designers were able to implement such a wonderful option as a differentiated supply of matter.

The GC 6150 H is also noteworthy. This is a single-needle sewing machine with a total weight of 35 kg. Its total volume reaches 0.089 cubic meters. m. The shuttle and the lower material feeder are used for work. The machine can sew at 3500 rpm by raising the foot 6-13 mm and stitching up to 7 mm in length.

According to consumer estimates, Typical equipment has been working very reliably for many years. Only after being transported to a new location is sometimes a minor setup from scratch required.

A positive feature of the Typical brand is the availability of many branded accessories. It is noted that many machines can work with jeans, fabric for covers, umbrellas.

The selection of a modification is determined by:

• its functionality;
• productivity;
• the composition of the processed fabrics;
• design features;
• power consumption;
• additional equipment of each device.

After manufacturing, 100% of machines and overlocks are stress tested. Therefore, consumers must themselves assess whether individual parts have been unscrewed, whether parts of sewing equipment have been deformed. Only special grade oil can be used for lubrication. Do not add too much lubricant to the system. During the running-in process, the machine is first started at minimum speed, and then only, with complete success, can the equipment be accelerated to full speed.

The pulley must rotate in a strictly defined direction. If not:

• the machine is stopped;
• disconnect it from the mains;
• turn the plug 180 degrees;
• put it back in.

If the machine sews uneven stitches, you need to adjust the tension and attraction of the thread. But the reasons can also be in the low quality of the thread or in the wrong selection of it. If oil is leaking, it is necessary to check its level and clean the special filter, as well as special passages. It is strictly forbidden to leave the plugged-in sewing machine unattended. It is also unacceptable to trust it to those people who do not understand this type of technology.

If the machine is equipped with a built-in backlight, you can change the bulbs or check their serviceability only after disconnecting from the mains. Only bulbs of the same type can be used for replacement. The same rule applies to all other details, of course. When water gets inside or there are incomprehensible problems, difficulties during work, you should immediately contact a professional service department. There are a few more security requirements:

• do not use a typewriter or Typical overlock outdoors;
• do not use them in wet or corrosive places;
• do not use this technique for anything other than the sewing work itself;
• do not put or use it where they work with aerosol spraying, with pure oxygen, with other flammable and easily flammable, explosive substances;
• do not make any changes to the design of the sewing machine;
• use only serviceable needles and other accessories;
• if possible, avoid dropping or wetting the machine;
