Preparations

Operating Instructions

Voltage Switch

220 - 240V / 120V

The sewing machine is set to the voltage 220 - 240V. To change the

voltage to 120V (US/Canada), you must set the voltage switch on the

underside of the machine to 120 V.

If you are unsure of the correct voltage for your country, please check

with your authorized Pfaff sewing machine dealer or local electrical

authorities before plugging in your machine.

Electrical connection

Connect the lead cord between the socket of the sewing machine and

the wall outlet.

For the USA and Canada:

This sewing machine has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the

other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to

ﬁt in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not ﬁt fully in

the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not ﬁt, contact a qualiﬁed

electrician to install the proper outlet.

DO NOT modify the plug in any way!

Connecting the foot control

Pull the retractable cord out of the foot control to a length that is

comfortable for you. The foot control has an automatic cord-rewind

reel for storage. Connect the plug of the foot control to the connection

socket of the sewing machine.

The sewing speed is controlled by pressing the foot control.

The foot control ATK 0080 must be used for this sewing machine.

2:3

Preparations

Main switch

When the main switch is switched on (switch function I) the sewing

lightbulb lights up and the multi-color touch screen lights up.

The sewing machine is now ready to function.

"0" = OFF

"I" = ON

Thread cutter

Pull the thread from the back to the front up over the thread cutter.

Contrast of the screen

The contrast of the screen is adjustable. The setting can be re-adjusted

with the screen control dial (A).

2:4

Preparations

Carrying case

Place the enclosed lead cord, the foot control and instruction book into

the storage compartment of the carrying case.

Lid

Open the lid upwards.

The stitches of the sewing machine are illustrated on the inside of the

lid.

Accessory tray

Open the accessory tray by placing your left index ﬁnger on the ridged

area on the left of the lid and open the lid up and towards you.

Free arm

In order to sew using the free arm, swing the detachable accessory tray

to the left and lift it up out of the hole. When replacing the accessory

tray, make sure it is ﬂush with the free arm of the sewing machine.

Note: Some fabrics have a lot of excess dye which can cause discoloration on other fabric

but also on your sewing machine. This discoloring may be very difﬁcult or impossible to

remove.

Fleece and denim fabric (especially in red and blue) often contain a lot of excess dye.

If you suspect that your fabric/ready-to-wear garment contains a lot of excess dye,

always pre-wash it before sewing/embroidering to avoid the discoloring.

2:5

Preparations

Changing the presser foot

Snap off the presser foot

Switch off the main switch.

Press the front part of the presser foot upwards and at the same time

the rear part downwards until it disengages from the presser foot

holder.

Snap on the presser foot

Place the presser foot under the presser foot holder, so that when the

presser foot lift is lowered, the pins of the foot snap onto the presser

foot holder.

Check:

Please check that the presser foot is properly attached by raising the

presser foot lift.

Note: If your Presser foot lift is disengaged because of the embroidery or free-motion, step

on the foot control in a sewing stitch or disengage the free-motion icon.

2:6

Preparations

The IDT (Integrated Dual Feed)

For sewing any fabric precisely Pfaff provides the ideal solution: the

Integrated Dual Feed, IDT system. As on industrial machines, the IDT

feeds the fabric from the top and bottom at the same time at the same

stitch length. The fabric is fed precisely. On light fabrics such as silk or

rayon the dual feed prevents puckering of the seam. The even feeding

action also ensures perfect matching of checked and striped fabrics. The

IDT keeps all layers of quilt projects aligned to prevent stretching of the

top layers.

Engaging the IDT

Important: For all work with the Integrated Dual Feed IDT, use presser

feet with the center back cut-out.

Raise the presser foot. Press the IDT down until it engages.

Disengaging the IDT

Hold the IDT with two ﬁngers at the ribbed ankle. Press the IDT down,

then pull it away from you and release the IDT slowly upward.

2:7

Preparations

Changing the needle

Switch off the main switch.

To remove: Lower the presser foot and set the

needle to its highest position. Loosen the needle

screw and pull the needle out downwards.

To insert: The ﬂat side A of the needle must face

to the rear. Lower the presser foot and insert the

needle, pushing it up as far as it will go. Hold the

needle and tighten the needle screw ﬁrmly.

The feed dogs

For certain sewing work such as free-motion

quilting or darning or when embroidering, the feed

dog must be lowered. On your Pfaff creative 2170

there are two different methods for lowering the

feed dogs, one on the outside of the machine and

one inside the bobbin door.

For either method:

Raise the presser foot before lowering the feed dog.

Push slide A or B to the left.

To bring the feed dogs back up move the slide to the

right.

2:8

Preparations

Winding the bobbin from the spool pin

Choose a spool cap slightly larger in diameter than the spool. For

example use the large spool cap for larger spools of thread, and the

smallest cap with cone-type spools. Place the sewing thread on the

spool pin. Slide the cap tightly against the spool.

Threading

Place the thread into guide (A) from front to back and pull it counter-

clockwise ABOVE the bobbin winder thread guide (B).

Wind the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a

clockwise direction.

Note: When bobbin winding always place the thread ABOVE the bobbin winder thread

guide (B). Place a bobbin on the bobbin winder with the Pfaff logo up. Make sure the

bobbin is secure on the bobbin winder by placing the small pin on the bobbin winder into

the slot on the bobbin.

Switch on the main switch.

Start bobbin winding by pushing the bobbin winding lever to the

right. You may need to adjust the Winding speed on the window in

the multi- color touch screen as explained on page 2:11. As soon as the

bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped automatically. Cut

the thread and remove the bobbin from the winder.

2:9

Preparations

1. Winding from the second spool pin

Swing the second spool pin up and lock. Place a spool of thread

with an appropriate spool cap on the spool pin.

2. Winding from the third spool pin

Insert the third spool pin in the hole provided. Place the appropriate

spool cap and then a spool on the spool pin.

Threading

Place the thread into thread guide (A) from front to back and pull

it counter clockwise above the bobbin winder thread guide (B).

Wind the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a

clockwise direction.

Start bobbin winding by pushing the bobbin lever to the right.

As soon as the bobbin is full, the winding action will be stopped

automatically. Cut the thread and remove the bobbin from the

winder

2:10

Preparations

Bobbin winding while embroidering

The creative 2170 has a thread guide for bobbin winding while

embroidering.

The needle thread (red) is placed into the thread guide (A) and

underneath the bobbin winder thread guide (B). Pull the bobbin thread

(blue) counter clockwise above the bobbin winder thread guide. Wind

the start of the thread around the bobbin several times in a clockwise

direction.

Winding a bobbin through the needle

It is possible to wind bobbins even when the machine is fully threaded

(see page 2:14 for threading instructions).

Raise the presser foot. Pull the needle thread underneath the presser

foot and upward through the right-hand threader slot.

Place the thread from left to right through the take-up lever (C).

Note: The take-up lever must be at its highest position.

Guide the thread to the right. Wind the start of the thread around the

bobbin several times in a clockwise direction. Start bobbin winding

by pushing the bobbin lever to the right. As soon as the bobbin is full,

the winding action will be stopped automatically. Cut the thread and

remove the bobbin from the winder.

Note: The thread knife next to the bobbin winder makes it easy to cut the thread after

bobbin winding.
