Instruccions de configuració

1. Muntar el Clamp: Enganxeu el clamp to the bottom of the knitting machine. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Fixar a una superfície: Clamp the machine firmly to the edge of a stable surface, such as a table or desk. Ensure the clamp is tightened to prevent movement during operation.
3. Thread the Yarn:
   • Pass the yarn through the small hole on the side of the machine.
   • Using the provided crochet hook, draw the yarn down through the center of the machine until it emerges from the bottom.
   • Ensure all internal hooks are in the open position.
   • Wrap the yarn around the first hook, skip the second, wrap around the third, and skip the fourth. Repeat this pattern for all hooks, ensuring the yarn is correctly positioned.
4. Attach Weights: Gently attach one or both weights to the end of the yarn emerging from the bottom of the machine. The weights provide necessary tension for knitting.
5. Connectar l'alimentació: Plug the USB power cable into the machine and connect the other end to a suitable power source (e.g., USB adapter, power bank).

Instruccions de funcionament

1. Start Knitting: Press the power button on the machine. The internal hooks will begin to rotate, automatically forming the i-cord.
2. Monitor Yarn Tension: Ensure the yarn feeding into the machine is loose and free from tangles. The weights should hang freely and not touch the ground.
3. Adjust Weights: As the i-cord grows longer, periodically slide the weights further up the cord to maintain consistent tension. Turn off the machine before adjusting weights to avoid tangling.
4. Finishing the i-Cord: Once the desired length is achieved, turn off the machine. Cut the yarn, leaving a tail. Continue running the machine until the remaining yarn is released from the hooks. Use the crochet hook to secure the loops at the end of the i-cord.

Yarn Compatibility:

The machine is compatible with yarn weight categories from 2 to 4 (fine, light, medium). Avoid using bulky, chenille, or very fine threads like nylon or sewing thread, as these may cause operational issues.

Manteniment

Regular maintenance ensures smooth operation and extends the lifespan of your knitting machine:

• Neteja: Periodically clean the transparent cover and internal mechanisms with a soft tissue to remove any lint or debris.
• Lubricació: Apply a small amount of lubricating oil or olive oil around the beveled edge of the internal mechanism to maintain smooth movement of the hooks. Rotate the knob manually to spread the oil evenly.

Resolució de problemes

If you encounter any issues during operation, please refer to the following tips or consult the provided video tutorials:

• Yarn Tangling/Stuck Knob: Ensure the yarn is loose and not tangled. If the knob is stuck, turn off the machine and manually rotate the knob for 5 turns. If knitting returns to normal, restart the machine.
• Problemes d'alimentació: Check if the USB power cable is securely connected to both the machine and the power source.
• Weights Falling: If the weights fall to the ground, they may cause a change in tension and result in tangling. Turn off the machine, adjust the weights, and move them slowly when repositioning.
• Missing Stitches: Ensure the yarn is loose and not under excessive tension to avoid missing stitches during the knitting process.
