Help in threading singer 491 - Singer 5050 Mechanical Sewing Machine

Most Singer manuals are available here: https://www.singer.com/support . Searching just for 14 gave two pages of manuals with the manual for the 14U46B and 14U46 on the second page. The current link to the manual is https://res.cloudinary.com/singer-sewing/image/upload/fl_attachment/Singer-Website-Library/outdated_product/SINGER_14U46B_and_14U46_Serger_Overlock.pdf . The threading depends on your type of stitch. See page 9 for the steps common to all threading (raise the presser foot, change the thread tension). See page 11 (page 13 of the PDF) for the left looper path. The right and left needle threading is shown on page 12. If you are using a four-thread stitch, see page 15 for the right looper thread path.

I hope this helps. Check YouTube for videos on preparing a Singer serger. Those are often more useful than the manual's pictures.

Yes, it should be fine for most leather. I don't know about belt or thicker leathers though.....I would just buy some samples and give it a go. The 491 is a workhorse, good for upholstery and heavy work.

I looked at singer and they don't have a free manual to download
so I'll send links for what I did find

Problem with sump or with sump screw? Or overly full?
I'm currently refubishing a Singer 491. To understand what sump and sump screw are, check out the YouTube channel of becauseimcrafty for their instruction on changing the oil. This demonstrates the large oli pan of a Singer industrial machine that is similar to yours as far as the oil "pan" or "sump" goes. TItle of their video is <<Industrial Sewing Machine l Changing the OIL>>.
