First - Take machine out of carrying
case.
Lift up line space lever (6) and move
carriage lock lever (3) to the rear, thusreleasing the carriage. Lift off frontcover and rem
ove cardboard from type
bar segment. Rem
ove tape band fromright-hand platen knob (17)and unhookfrom
left-hand platen knob (5). Remove
the four plastic pins (left and right)inserted between the guide rails, forprotection during transport.
Press down one of the shift keys (11 I 24)and take out both plastic strips (rightand left) below the guide rails. W
henrepl,acing the m
achine cover make sure
that the two securing pins snap intothe two rubber-lined holes in the fram
e.
The machine is now ready for use. You
may wish to place a felt pad under the
machine to enhance its quiet operation.
Ribbon control(SF Deluxe only)W
ith a two-colored ribbon, set theribbon control switch (22) for'black' inthe upperm
ost position or for 'red' inthe lower position. The center position'white' is for cutting stencils. W
hen theupper half of a single-color ribbon isworn, reverse the ribbon spools for useof the lower part of the ribbon. Ribbonadvance and return are autom
atic.
lnserling the paperM
ove the carriage to the center posi-tion. Raise the paper support (13) byhand. O
n the 'SF Deluxe' the papersupport is raised autom
atically by de-pressing the release button (15). lnsertthe paper between the platen and them
argin scale and adjust it to the re-quired height by turning the platenknob (5/17). To adjust the paper or toinsert several sheets, pull the paperrelease lever (16) forward.
Setting the margin
The beginning and end of the typingline can be set by adjusting the twom
argin stops (2/14) at the rear of thecarriage. Depress both and slide themto the required position. The twopointers on the m
argin scale (1) indi-cate the setting.
Line setting and spacingSet the space between the lines bym
eans of the line space control (4):rear line for singie-spacing, center linefor one and a half spacing, front linefor double-spacing. Slight pressure onthe line space lever (6) pushes thecarriage along to the right and bringsthe paper into position for typing onthe next line.
Shilt keyTo type capital letters or any of thecharacters on the upper portion of thekey tops depress either one of the twoshift keys (11124). By depressing theshift lock (10) the type segm
ent can beretained in this position and releasedagain by depressing either of the twoshift keys.
SpacingO
n depressing and releasing the spacebar (12) the carriage will m
ove onespace, i. e., the width of one letter.
Accent key (where fitted)The accent key (21) is a so-called'dead'keywhich does not operate the carriagem
echanism. Accents m
ust thereforealways be depressed before the leiterthat requires the accent; the i (circum
-flex) is m
ade up from the i (acute)
and the i (grave) accents.M
argin releaseThe ringing of a bell indicates that afew m
ore spaces are available beforethe end of the line. O
n reaching theend of the line the carriage will stop.To continue the line beyond the m
arginstop, or to start typing before the setstarting point, depress the m
arginrelease (9).
Disentangling the type barsThe m
argin release (9) also serves todisentangle any type bars which m
ayhave becom
e jamm
ed. By depressingthe m
argin release the type bars willreturn to their norm
al position.
Bac* spacerW
hen depressing the back space key(23) the carriage m
oves back onespace, i. e., the width of one letter.
Platen releaseThe line space control (4) also acts asplaten release.W
hen set at its rearmost
position (.), free wheeling of the platenoccurs and allows unlim
ited variationsof line spacings.
For example, when typing printed
forms or for subsequent typing on a
sheet already removed from
the ma-
chine.
Carriage releaseG
rip the right-hand platen knob (17)with your right hand and depress thecarriage release lever (18) with yourthum
b. This allows the carriage to bem
oved freely in both directions.
Drawing lineslnsert the point of a pencil in thenotch of the alignm
ent guide (8). Drawhorizontal lines by m
oving the carriageleft and right with the carriage release(18) depressed, and vertical lines byturning the platen upward or down-ward after operating the platenrelease (4).
Touch adjuster - DeLuxe onlyFirst rem
ove the machine cover. By
moving the lever of the touch adjuster
(25) the tension of the keys may be
adjusted to suit the individual touch.The m
aximum
pressure is obtainedwhen the touch adjuster is set to (+)M
inimum
pressure is obtained when itis set to (-).
ErasingTurn the platen until the portion of thepaper, on which the error has beenm
ade, lies on the paper deflector (19).M
ove the carriage to the side so thatno eraser dust falls into the m
achine.The use of an eraser shield is recom
-m
ended.
CorrectingDo not type om
itted letters.in betweenthe others but use the correcting spacebar (12). Erase the incorrect word andm
ove the carriage back to the last letterof the preceding word. Tap the spacebar once - depress again, this tim
eholding it down and type the first letterof the word to be re-typed. Release thespace bar. Type the next letter withthe space bar held down and continuein this m
anner until the word has beencorrectly written.

fhe bst typewri-ter(wrong)

To insert less characters where therewere previously m
ore, move the car-
riage back to the last character of thepreceding word, tap the space bartwice and proceed as above.
Margin alignm
entFor the typing of publicity and adver-tising m
aterial, circulars etc. whichrequire a straight right-hand m
argin,to give it a printed look, a rough draftof the work should first be typed inorder to calculate the num
ber of lettersthat require levelling each tim
e. Theshortest line of the draft is taken as thestandard, and a vertical line is drawnat the end of this. The letters on theother lines which are outside this lim
itm
ust be brought within it by operatingthe.correcting space bar, while shorterlines m
ay be extended.
lnsertions are made by typing the word
which is to be compensated for, in the
following manner: depress space bar
- type - release space bar - type -release space bar etc.
After typing the last letter, depress thespace bar once m
ore and continuetyping.
To lengthen a line proceed as follows.After typing the last letter of a word,depress the space bar, release it anddepress again. Type the first letter ofthe next word and release the spacebar, depress space bar, type a letteretc. After typing the last letter releasespace bar and tap it twice - thencontinue typing the next word.

Cleaning
lf the machirre is in constant use it
should be dusted every morning w
itha clean brush. C
lean the types fromtim
e to time w
ith a type-cleaning brush,a sheet of paper having been placedunderneath the type bars. lf a plastictype cleaner is used, this should bekneaded before use to m
ake it more
pliable. Never clean types w
ith a metal
object; if necessary, use a wooden
spill. The platen may be cleaned oc-
casionally with m
ethylated spirit only -never w
ith gasoline. All moving and
sliding parts may be oiled periodically
with typew
riter oil which is free from
acid. Segment, line space w
heel, typebars and type guide should never beoiled. ln the event of any dam
age, yourtypew
riter should be repaired by anauthorized typew
riter mechanic.
