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.

Rückwärtsnähen

Drücken Sie die Taste zum Rückwärtsnähen soweit wie möglich, halten Sie sie gedrückt, und treten Sie dabei leicht auf das Fußpedal. Zum Nähen in Vorwärtsrichtung lassen Sie die Taste zum Rückwärtsnähen einfach los. Das Rückwärtsnähen wird allgemein zur Verstärkung und zum Befestigen von Säumen benutzt.

Achteruitnaaiknop

Om de machine achteruit te laten naaien, houdt u de achteruitnaaiknop zo ver mogelijk ingedrukt en drukt u het voetpedaal een klein stukje in. Om weer vooruit te naaien moet u de knop loslaten. Achteruitnaaien wordt gebruikt voor aan- en afhechten en ter versteviging van de na- den.
