Place
your feet gentlyon the pedalat the stop position.
(The needle is held at the lowest position).
(D Tread on the pedal
lightly
forwards
(toe-down), and the
machine
starts to rotate at a low
speed.
(D Tread on the pedal further forwards (toe-down), and the machine will increase it's speed
gradually and attain the maximum speed when it has been
trod
down fully. However, when the
switch for the counter-back stitching is turned on, the machine will attain it's maximum sewing
speed only
after
the count-back stitch has been formed, even though you tread on the pedal
fully.

Thread
trimming
o You can obtain the normal performance of thread
trimming
by treading on the pedal back
wards (heel-down) directly from the high or low speed position,
o You can tread back the pedal to the neutral position immediately after the machine has started
to perform the thread trimming action.
The thread
trimming
action is automatically completed and youdo not needto keepthe
pedal
at the thread trimming position any longer,
o
When
the machinestops, the needle will be held at the lower position,
o
When
you want to bringup the
needle,
threadon the pedalfully
backwards
(heel-down)
once.
Then, the machine will perform a thread trimmingaction and willbringup the needleand hold

it's
highest position.
(Note)
Insome
cases,
the
machine
with
"MATSUSHITA"
motor, does not start to run immediately after a
thread
trimming
action
was
made
even
thoughthe
pedal
istrod
forwards
(toe-down).
Thisis
simply
because
the
machine
is
locked
by the safety
device
built in the motor
assembly,
in sucha
case,
tread on the pedal back to the neutral position once and tread on it again forward to drive the
machine.
In the
case
of the

device
is
automatically
released
after thread trimming action has been completed.
