INSERTINGANDREMOVINGTHEMATERIAL

For all kinds of sewing, consult chart page 5.

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 take-up lever are at their

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.

*The feed dog is up,

, Stitch length and width controls are set at

desired settings.

Experiment by sewing on the fabric to be

used to determine tension adjustments and

correct stitch settings.

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
