Hello, power table switcher?

bulbs normally release by gently pushing in and twisting.

Unfortunately, documentation is not available for the Pfaff Synchromatic 1200. Pfaff does have the manuals for the Syncrhromatic 1209 and 1215. The threading pattern probably didn't change much between the 1200 and these other machines. Look at page 7 of the Synchromatic 1209 here, http://www.pfaff.com/SiteMedia/PFAFF/Products/Machines/Support-manuals/Synchromatic_1209-manual-EN.PDF , to see if this helps. Unlike most sewing machines, the 1209 doesn't thread the upper thread from right to left. Instead, you bring the thread from the spool to a slot on the top left. Then work down to the guide, up to the take up lever, and down through the next guide as you move the thread to the right to the needle. I hope this helps.

return it to the vendor before warranty expires

I am affraid you need technician to adjust/replace synchronizer internally fitted on the end of the bobbin drive shaft. Regards, JB

Try- before you start move needle position up, mark with pen position of camstack and the body of the machine. REMEMBER the position of the cams on old camstack as you will need to place new camstack in the same way!! Loosen the screw holding the shaft of the c/stack, also loosen 4 screws holding the whole assy so you can lift the assy above the edge of the body,. rotate gently the c/stack and its shaft till you get it out. C/stack is secured on shaft with small colar. remove and fit new c/stack SAME WAY as the old one. follow the procedure in reverse. Regards, JB

remove the screw and look at the exposewd part- looks like oval with a little beak. The beak fits into the openning and locks wheel into drive. Spring is placed inside the oval part but HARD to squeze in to the space. Try. Regards, JB

black lever on front (position right-normal sewing, position up-reverse, position left darning(free motion).Use the proper foot (jumping).Regards, JB

problem is in electronic speed control box (black box fitted internally in the machine). Some electronic parts are defective,no DIY repair,Sewing service only. Regards, JB

Lots of reasons for this. Tension, needle size, material and thread have to meet conditions for the material sewn. Make sure the thread is not old as thread deteriorates and can cause minute knots. Make sure you are threading the needle correctly. (I've been sewing for many years and sometimes DO NOT thread the needle correctly, it's easily done). Make sure the thread in the bobbin and top thread are the same. Make sure the needle is not bent or dull. Make sure that under the feedplate has no lint or bits of thread. I hope this helps. :-)

Try googling videos or try the Pfaff site. :-)

You probably didn't disengage the sewing machine mechanism. Hold the hand wheel steady so that it will not move with one hand. Use your other hand to rotate the knob in the center of the hand wheel towards you. When the unit is properly disengaged, the motor can't move the needle bar. When done winding the bobbin, you need to hold the hand wheel and then turn the knob away from you. See page 9 of the manual for the Creative 1471. Pfaff has the manual on the product page: http://www.pfaff.com/en-US/Machines/creative-1471 .
