Insertingandremovingthe Material

For all kinds of sewing, consult chart page 5.

Before placing the material on the machine see that:

•The presser foot and needle clamp screws are both tight.

•The sizes of needle and thread suit the kind of work to be done.

-The needle and the thread take-up lever are at their highest position.

. The ends of threads have been drawn about 4 inches to the rear of the machine.

•The feed dogs are up.

•Stitch length and width controls are set at desired settings.

Expenment by sewing on the fabric to be used to

determine tension adjustments and correct stitch settings.

Place material under the presser foot, insert the needle into the material by turning the hand wheel toward you, lower presser foot and start sewing.

To facilitate placement of heavy fabrics under the presser foot, the presser foot lever can be raised beyond the normal "'up" position.

To remove the work, first turn the hand wheel toward you until the needle and the thread take-up lever are

at their highest position, then raise the presser foot, draw material to the rear and cut off excess thread with the thread cutter located on the presser bar.

IMPORTANT: Always turn the hand wheel toward

you! When the machine is not being used, place a piece of material over the feed dog and lower the pres-

ser foot. Always have fabric under the presser foot

when operating the machine. Operating threaded machine Without fabric will cause it to jam by forcing lint into the shuttle. See Pages 22 & 23.
