Passap DUOMATIC 80 Manuel utilisateur

Here's how to decrease multiple stitches, depending on the type of needle bed:

• Single needle bed:

  1. Transfer the first stitch from the carriage side to the neighboring needle.
  2. Pull this needle up until both stitches pass behind the latch.
  3. Wrap the yarn you are knitting with twice around the needle so that it is once behind and once in front of the latch.
  4. Pull the needle down until the old stitch and yarn pass over the closed latch to form a new stitch.
  5. Transfer the new stitch to the next needle and continue in the same way. This process is only possible on the carriage side.

• Double needle bed:

  On the carriage side, using the double-eyed needle, transfer the desired number of stitches from the rear needle bed to the needles of the front needle bed. Then, proceed as with a single needle bed.

The DUOMATIC 80 is equipped with a color changer that automatically manages two threads. The manual explains how to thread the yarn into the yarn feeders and how the color changer automatically puts the desired yarn feeder into the carriage clamp.

The needle bed spacing button is used to separate the needle beds. To return them to their normal position, you must simultaneously push the front needle bed upwards and the button on the left.

The racking handle is used to move the rear needle bed laterally relative to the front needle bed in both directions. The metal arrow on the racking indicator shows the last racking direction.

The edge springs should always be placed on the last working needles, with the flaps closed.

The row counter slider activates the row counter with each pass of the carriage and moves laterally.
