Singer 211G566

[kuwo666]

I have recently got a singer 211G566 but with no manual - either operating or servicing. Have looked at various sites but can't find this exact model. Can anyone help please? Can I use other S11G manuals.?
Many thanks

Edited to omit service manual link.  See below for note regarding "Parts List" 566 omission.

Thanks for that but it for a 211G155/156 - is this basically the same as a 211G566?

I'm so sorry! -- I messed up the numbers on the manual! :o  Good for you for catching that.

Link to incorrect manual omitted.

"566" appears to be a "Parts List" omission -- it is printed on the first page, but missing on the second.  I'll keep looking for link to a 566 manual.

More information...

"G" (or "W") means your machine was built in Germany.  "U" means "Japan" and "A" means... America?

Machines of class 211A, 211U, 211G, and 211W have been in production since at least 1960. They incorporate design and parts of the class 111W and 111G machines. 211A and 211U machines are the same except; the 211A is painted white, the 211U is painted a light brown. They excell in their ability to combine high speed with the ability to stitch medium to heavy materials.

...and (from same page):

Which means... one of these other manuals is *possibly* appropriate for your Singer 211G566.  At least, you may have some options.

Thanks - that is really useful. An upholster here in the UK has said that he thinks the 211U566 wld be the most similar to mine - just made in Japan not Germany. Does anyone know if this is actually the case please?
Thanks

Everything I have read indicates that the mechanics are identical.  And that being the case... look what I found!
