PresserFootLifter(H)
The presser foot is lowered or raised with the presser foot lifter.
If you are sewing on thick fabric or several layers of fabric, the
presser foot can be raised higher to make it easier to place the
fabric underneath the presser foot.
NOTE: Machine will not start when the presser foot is raised
(except for bobbin winding).
ThreadCutter(I)
Use this cutter if the thread cutter button is not used.
1. Raise the presser foot and bring fabric and threads
backward after sewing.
2. Hook the threads to the thread cutter from back to front.
3. Pull the thread tails to cut the threads.
PresserFootPressureDial(J)
The correct presser foot pressure allows fabrics to feed
properly while sewing. The setting of the presser foot pressure
is determined mainly by the type and weight of the fabric being
sewn. For lightweight fabrics such as sheers, batiste, voile, etc,
the pressure is decreased. For heavyweight fabrics like denim
or canvas, the pressure is increased.
To increase the pressure, turn dial to 4 or 5.
To decrease the pressure, turn dial to 1 or 2.
For most fabrics, turn dial to N.
Lid(K)
To open the lid, lift up the front right side of the cover.
Handwheel(L)
By turning the handwheel, the needle will raise or lower. You
should always turn the handwheel toward you.
Raise/LowerFeedTeeth(M)
The feed teeth are located under the needle plate, directly
below the presser foot. Their function is to move the fabric
forward when sewing. The feed teeth lever is located on the
back of the sewing machine at the base of the free arm.
Slide the lever (M) to the right to raise the feed teeth for
ordinary sewing. The feed teeth will then raise when you begin
to sew or turn the handwheel towards you one full revolution.
Slide the lever to the left to lower the feed teeth for sewing on
buttons or free motion sewing.
MountingMachineinSewingCabinet(N)
There are two holes on the underside of the machine designed
for mounting the machine into a sewing cabinet. Align the
holes (indicated in the picture) with the corresponding holes in
the cabinet base. Attach the machine with screws. (Screws not
included)
