Before placing the material on the machine see that :
* The presser foot and needle clamp screws are both tight.
.The sizes of needle and thread suit the kind of work to be done.
, The needle and
highest position.
* The tensions have been properly adjusted.
* The ends of the threads have been drawn
about 4 inches to the rear of the machine.

Place material under the presser foot, insert
the needle into the material by turning the
hand wheel toward you, lower presser foot
and start sewing. To facilitate placement of
heavy fabrics under the presser foot, the
presser foot lever can be raised beyond the
normal "up" position.
To remove the work, first turn hand wheel
toward you until needle is at its highest
position, then raise the presser foot, draw
material to the rear and cut off excess thread
with the thread cutter located on the presser bar.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the hand wheel
toward you! When machine is not being
used, place a piece of material over the feed
dog and lower the presser foot. Always
have fabric under the presser foot when
operating the machine. Operating threaded
machine without fabric will cause it to jam
by forcing thread into the shuttle. See pages
32 and 33,
