Adjustments and settings
Stitch length
It can be adjusted while sewing.
The stitch length is innitely variable from 1-4mm. Most over-
lock work is done with a basic setting of 2.5mm.
For roll hemming or narrow overlocking, it is best to set the
dial at “1 to 1.5”.
For blind stitch which requires the “use of separately-available
presser foot”, set the dial at “4”.
Cutting width
Switch the machine off (Power switch to “0”)
Disconnect machine from electricity supply.
• Raise the upper knife.
• Turn cutting width adjustment dial in the desired direction.
• Lower upper knife.
1 = 3–5 mm seam width
2 = 4–6 mm seam width
3 = 5–7 mm seam width
4 = 6–8 mm seam width
5 = 7–9 mm seam width
The position of the lower knife determines the width of the
seam.
Reduce the cutting width if the edges of fine fabric curl up
when being sewn (A).
Increase the cutting width if the loops seem to be too loose (B).
WARNING
Do not carry out sewing with a marking pin stuck in
the material. In addition, do not attempt to cut any-
thing other than fabric and thread with the upper/
lower knives. Be aware that doing so can cause nee-
dle break or personal injury.
