Pressing down on the foot controller increases the sewing speed; releasing the pressure on the foot controller decreases the sewing speed.

7When you are finished sewing, raise the needle, and then cut the threads.

For details, refer to “Cutting the thread” (page 43).

Memo

If (needle stop position key) is lit, the sewing machine will stop with the needle lowered. If the key is not lit, the sewing machine will stop with the needle raised. The needle position setting selected with the needle stop position key does not change if the sewing machine is turned off.

When the foot controller is plugged in, the start/stop button cannot be used to start or stop sewing.

CAUTION

Do not allow thread or dust to accumulate in the foot controller, otherwise a fire or an electric shock may occur.

Do not place objects on the foot controller, otherwise damage to the machine or injuries may occur.

If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the foot controller, otherwise a fire or an electric shock may occur.
