STARTING TO SEW

The machine will be set to sew straight stitch when power switch is turned on.

CAUTION: To prevent accidents. While sewing, special care is required around the needle.

Machine automatically feeds the fabric, do not pull or push the fabric.

A. START AND END OF SEAM

1.Check the presser foot (General Purpose Presser Foot). Refer to page 7 for changing the presser foot.

2.Place the fabric under the presser foot and lower the presser foot.

3.Hold back both threads and press the start/stop button or press the foot controller pedal.

Keep holding threads after sewing a few stitches.

Lightly guide the fabric while sewing.

You can regulate the sewing speed by sliding the speed control button.

Also, you can reduce the sewing speed by pressing the slow button.

4.When you reach end of seam, press the start/ stop button to stop sewing or release the foot controller pedal.

5.Press the thread cutter button.

6.Raise the presser foot lifter and remove the fabric.

Upper Thread Sensor

If upper thread is broken or missing, machine will stop automatically.

Rethread the upper thread and resume sewing.

CAUTION

1.Do not press the thread cutter button when there is no fabric in the machine or no need to cut the threads. The thread may tangle, resulting in damage.

2.Do not use the thread cutter button when cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon thread or

other speciality threads.

In this case, use the thread cutter located on the left side of the machine. (See page 11)

NOTE

After you cut the threads by using the thread cutter button, hold upper thread only at the next starting of seam. (No need to draw up the bobbin thread)
