3 Upper thread

11.Lower the presser foot lever.

CAUTION

After the stitch width is adjusted, turn the balance wheel toward you by hand and check that the needle does not touch the side cutter. If the needle hits the side cutter and breaks, injuries may occur.

When sewing straight stitches, the seam margin will be about 13/64" (5.0 mm).

Note

The side cutter will not cut the fabric if the fabric is simply spread out under the presser foot and the guide plate. Be sure to position the fabric as explained in step 9 before sewing.

Always raise the needle before raising the presser foot lever.

–The side cutter can cut one layer of 13-oz denim.

Clean the side cutter after using it, otherwise dust and scraps of thread will build up in it.

Add a small amount of oil as required to the cutting edge of the cutter.
