Hi Folks

Have you tried this; Leather Sewing Machines on this thread ,look at topic "Singer 133k Info wanted", posted by Constabulary. Scroll down and 132 manual can be found in PDF. I think you may find what you are looking for.

Good Luck

HI, I realise I'm replying to an old post, however I have some new info since I read it some time ago. Yes most people say that Singer never made a user manual for the 132K6 or the 45K, however they did, but they are rare. I have an original of both, the K6 I have on disk and can send anyone a copy free of charge if they want one. It doesn't matter how many googel searches you do you'll never find this manual, though I have given it to a few friends and clients so I guess it will start to circulater soon. They also did cardboard cards with some brief info. Be aware though that the manuals are quite small and really dont tell you a lot. I think its more the nice feeling of having one. Regards Steve

I have just got myself a 132k6 and am learning how to operate it. I would be greatful if you could send me a copy Steve. It have a bigger motor on it than it should have so it is very fast. I am getting a smaller pully to put on the motor so it's not as fast. The smallest the sewing machine shop guy said he could sell me is a 50mm. It has a 75mm on it at the moment. I need to learn to change stitch lengeth and what a few things are for so I'm hoping the user manual will help with that. 

Thanks. :) 

Regards,                                    Sonia.

If it is too fast for you I recommend buying a servo motor for it.

That is what I did with mine and it makes a world of difference

Thanks heaps for the manual and can you tell me anything more about the servo motor? Where could I get one and how much are they?

Thanks again :)

A servo motor will replace your current clutch motor and slow it down to a crawl.

It makes it a lot more manageable for me.

I see your in Tassie?

I think a member here Darren Paul Brosowski  should be able to help you out or visit https://www.facebook.com/groups/aussieleathercrafters/ and ask over there

I now have a verve motor in my machine and it is great, I am still learning how it works but have the basics and it is fantastic. :) I got it from Stewarts sewing centre in Devonport. I am having issues with the timing and have searched the net for some clear help to correct the timing. Do you know of any good links to set the timing for these machines?

Thanks

Sonia :)
