Knitting Machine Manuals – Brother, Passap, Studio, Knitmaster, Singer, Silver Reed

So you found a great buy on a used knitting machine. Only one catch – there’s no manual.

Check out some of these free downloads to see if one will work for your Brother, Passap, Studio, Singer, Silver Reed, Knitmaster, Juki, or Toyota machine. Pick the model number closest to your equipment by the same manufacturer. You should be pleasantly surprised at how much information is useful.

When you’ve got your machine up and running, take a peek at the pattern links at the end of this post. There are over 250 pages of scanned sweater, hat, and sock patterns to inspire you.

1 Jane { 01.12.09 at 5:06 am }: WOW! Fantastic resource, there.

I have scanned a lot of the punchcard sets for knitting machines at the Machine Knitter’s Treasure chest – ’cause often the punchcards get seperated from the machines.

2 Kathryn { 01.12.09 at 11:46 pm }: I’ve added links to your Punchcard Set scans. I know many will be happy to find them.
3 Bright { 01.14.09 at 8:20 pm }: I got my pinkie to knit! We cleaned her up and oiled the tracks and beds, and she knits just fine. I’m so happy with it. Of course, I couldn’t do just a little bit, I was up till after midnite, going back and forth, over 300 rows of fine textured wool, nice smooth stitching. It forces me to assume good posture, and I noted this morning I could feel it in my shoulders a little. This one’s a keeper! Thank you for all your help and great reference material!

5 Kathleen { 02.03.09 at 2:09 pm }: I am trying to find a manual to download or even order a hard copy for my Mom’s Tanzer-Gruden. Can anyone help me, please??
6 Steph { 02.07.09 at 9:13 am }: Thank you so much for the manuals.
My Brother ribber never came with a manual and I haven’t used my machine in a while and fogot how to set the carraiges up.

I am now downloading the stitch world book too as I never got it when bought my machine.

I have a Brother KH940, if you need that manual I am happy to share it, mail me if you want it.
I also have a Brother Ribber techniques book.

Many many thanks!

7 Marilyn Sidebottom { 02.11.09 at 8:00 am }: I have been given a Brother KHC 900 colour changer but the punch cards are missing. Can anyone help please if you know where I am likely to find some
8 Jean Fetty { 03.04.09 at 5:08 pm }: I bought a Singer knit machine. Main bed no is Singer F 370. The ribber is Studio F R P – 70. It is smaller needles than the Brother 840. The carriage is jammed to the point of not being to release at all. I have no clue what other number of manual that would come close to work for this machine.

I would appreciate any help at all.

9 daryll kaye { 03.06.09 at 6:18 pm }: Iam looking for a manuel for a brother kh587, My mother bought this knitting machine in japan and has misplaced its manual.please if someone can help that would really be appreciated
10 Laura-Jean Miller { 03.14.09 at 11:10 am }: Yippppppppeeeeee that I have found your site! I do hope I don’t prove to be too needy for your patience. I bought a Brother KH 894 ten years ago. I took lessons from a terrific teacher, knitted up a flurry of fair isle knit hats and scarves then we moved to a house in the country that we completely gutted and remodeled. I packed away my dear Brother to keep the dust and dirt and all the remodeling things out of it returning to my hand needles. We are now in the 9th year of a five year plan but very close to the end. I unpacked my beloved machine and we did not recognize each other. I have no idea what to do. I oiled and cleaned her, got out my manuals and the excellent book and computer program Machine Knitting by Injoo Kim and Ruth Burbank hoping that I would learn by osmosis. It hasn’t happened. After playing around, some of the knowledge is coming back as I meticulously follow the instructions but a big glitch has occurred. The K carriage runs smoothly up and down the bed when the needle are in any position except E. Then it jams immediately. It looks to me that my instructions have the needles in E but I cannot make a pass. My teacher is many hours away. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Laura-Jean

12 Kathryn { 04.01.09 at 8:17 am }: All the pdf files available are listed above. You will need to pick a model closest to your own. Your only other option is to search the net for a rare copy for sale.
13 Deb { 04.11.09 at 11:25 am }: I have an older Passap knitting machine, from around the mid-1960s, it’s the Speed-o-knit automatic. I have the manual for it and am quite willing to share it with anyone who might need one.
I am looking for the manual for the ribber attachment, as that is still a mystery for me. I did download a similar one, but I know it will still be hit or miss. Wish me luck.

28 Brian M { 09.13.09 at 11:11 pm }: Just bought a brother kr 860, kr 260, ribber, electric carriage, and a lot of stuff that looks like it could belong inside a 1880′s steam engine for $200.
Never knitted, 26 yr old sportbike racer and I will be using the machines to make knitted Kevlar armor for bouncing across the pavement. Thanks for the info on how to use these units, I was about to junk the whole works!
I need a little info on how to use a linker though, I don’t know if I have one (I likely do in here somewhere) and am lazy enough that casting off seems like a lot of work. Thanks again!

On this machine you can use a punch card and also feed a large pattern piece.
I’ve decided since it survived a flood, that the machine shoulbe be used to help others. So it is now going to be used for making and donating hats and blankets. *That is once I take some refresher courses on how to use. I do recall it’s called a standard model and uses fine gauge yarns.
If you can offer help in obtaining copies of the manual-please let me know.
I’m aware Singer knitting machine are now called Silver Reed-but have no idea how this Singler model falls under this brand. Thank you,

HOWEVER if anyone can trace a Service Manual for the KH881 I would be very pleased.

91 Elaine { 07.12.10 at 3:27 am }: Hi,
As usual, I’m looking for a manual or info on a Swiss made Turmix Unic. From the 60′s or earlier. In the meantime, I’m going to try to take it apart and clean it following your instructions for the Pinky.
Hope someone can help.
I also have a Passap Automatic with instructions in German and English, but no trouble shooting help. Cast on and 3 rows work perfectly, but every 4th row does the “broken toe cast off”, I am using the feather combs to keep stitches on and have even tried adding weights, but with no luck. Any suggestions for this too would be great, as currently I’m just a frustrated would be machine knitter!
Thanks,
Elaine

137 Rhonda Herbert { 04.10.11 at 8:49 pm }: Just a note to say how happy I am today. I bought an orphaned Juki 871 at a charity store, checked for all the parts and took it home. Some months have passed and the carriage would not move, I tinkered with it a few times and then packed it away again. This week we have a weather forecast of the snow season starting in the Snowy Mountains NSW.
That lit a fire in me to ‘service’ this Juki somehow and find the problem so I could knit on it. Standard gauge machine and me dreaming of knitting Australia’s most common ply, 8, also known I think as sport in the USA, tension of 22 stitches and 30 rows in 4 inches. Well over two days and lots of little containers for different screws and with different screwdrivers around me I put it all back together. Set it up and threaded up. It worked. Eight ply knits at T6 for stocking stitch and about T5 for rib. I found the manual here and still have some learning to do as this machine is different from all my 7 other machines which do not do 8 ply. My 7 other machines have automatic or card patterning and this Juki only has hand tooling. That OK as my stash has visibly shrunk now I can knit on this Juki 871 machine.

183 Phyllis { 11.19.11 at 1:22 pm }: Many years ago, I puchased a knitting machine for $1.00 because no one knew what it was. I took it home to my Mother, who never figured it out. She is gone, but I would like to see if I can learn to use it.

It is a Hand-E-Knit Star P., made in Japan. No numbers or instruction manual. Opened up the cardboard type carrying case and it still smells like sewing machine oil. Carraige moves-sticks a bit in some spots.

Any information or advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

186 ellie { 11.24.11 at 3:06 am }: If anyone has access to the original PUNCHCARDS that came with the Brother Garter Carriage would they be willing to scan and send me copies so that I can punch them out for my own use?

Thank you very much and here’s hoping!

189 Michelle Knepp { 11.27.11 at 2:05 pm }: Hello –

I inherited my grandmother’s Studio knitting machine model 322 and a whole lot of accessories (ribbing?). However, there is no manual. I am searching for one and have not been able to find one specific to the 322 – do you know what model would be compatible? I just want to know the basic how-to of using it – threading, carriage operations, basic trouble-shooting. I don’t know that I’ll ever be as advanced as her with making clothing, but it sure would be nice to make blankets out of the massive amounts of yarn I inherited as well.

Any help or advice you can offer is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Michelle

195 David Toft { 01.07.12 at 2:35 am }: In answer to Polly Henry. The grease on the drum spindles has dried up with age. You will need to take the drums off, clean the muck out and put a very small amount of oil on the shafts. It is impossible to tell you how to get them apart without showing you. Just undoing screws without knowing what you are doing will leave you with a pile of useless bits. Where are you, I am in the West Midlands UK.

How can I find out what stitches these cards represent since they are not listed in the ribber manual?

Speaking of manuals, I have manuals for the KH 910, KX 350, KH 260 and KH 940 as well as the ribber manuals and also for the Auto 81GC garter carriage. I also have manuals for color changers and other equipment if anyone needs copies. Thanks.

I note someone is looking for a Turmix Unic knitting machine manual and some kind person has posted on my website forum offering this – now I have not opened it and the response has been there a while, but it might be worth a try…but please note, I do not copy knitting machine manuals, there are far too many and most are way too large, and I do not have the special equipment or more importantly the time or patience to do this. (Anyone who can offer copies of manuals is welcome to post on the forum though.) The Turmix is under my forum, categories, unusual or unique machines.
