Reverse Sewing Lever

To sew in reverse, press down the reverse sewing lever as far as possible and hold it in that position while lightly stepping on the foot controller. To sew forward, release the reverse sewing lever. Reverse sewing is used for locking and reinforcing seams.

Levier de couture en marche arrière

Pour coudre en arrière, abaisser au maximum le levier de couture en marche arrière, et le maintenir dans cette position tout en ap- puyant légèrement sur la pédale. Pour coudre à nouveau vers l’avant, relâcher le levier. Utiliser la couture en marche arrière pour arrêter ou renforcer une couture.

Palanca de retroceso

Para coser hacia atrás, baje completamente la palanca de retroceso y manténgala en esa posición mientras presiona ligeramente el pedal. Para volver a coser hacia adelante, vuelva a subir la palanca de retro- ceso. La costura hacia atrás se usa para terminar y reforzar costuras.

Alavanca de retrocesso

Para inverter o sentido da costura, pressione ao máximo a alavanca de retrocesso e retenha-a nessa posição, acionando simultânea e levemen- te o pedal do motor. Para voltar a costurar para frente, solte a alavanca. A costura em sentido inverso utiliza-se para rematar e reforçar costu- ras.
