1.Loosen screw (1), set the bottom of the presser foot

(2)lightly against the work piece, and then tighten screw (1).

Note

If the presser foot is lowered too far, the work piece will shift when sewing. Also, if the presser foot is too high, skipped stitches may occur.

2.Turn the pulley by hand, and make sure the needle enters the center of the needle hole in the presser foot

(2). If the needle is not aligned with the center of the needle hole, remove cap (3), loosen screw (4), and turn the presser foot (presser bar) to adjust.

If the needle projects past the presser foot when the presser foot is raised, injury may result.

To turn the pulley by hand

Simply press in on the pulley (1) to turn it by hand. To turn the pulley, press lever (2) down.

After turning the pulley by hand, be sure to press the lever down to return the pulley to the normal operating position.
