Use a screwdriver to tighten the screw securely. If the screw is loose, the needle may hit the presser foot and you may be injured.

Before you start sewing, make sure you turn the handwheel toward you (counterclockwise) to check that the needle does not hit the presser foot.

Be careful not to touch the needle, otherwise you may be injured.

Note

When sewing with the walking foot, sew at medium to low speeds.
