needle and hook tip cannot become damaged during
referencing.
2. Set the main switch (3) to position I.
POWER LED (2) illuminates, and the MESSAGE LED (1)
flashes briefly.
The splash screen appears on the display:
• On the left, the class
• On the right, the firmware
The machine performs a reference run and is ready for
sewing when the display shows the start screen.
The control remains in automatic mode ( p. 74) only for a
few seconds before switching to manual mode ( p. 66).
Switching off the machine
To switch off the machine:
1. Ensure that the needle is up and not plunged in the material
at the bottom.
Important
The needle must be at the top dead center, ensuring that
needle and hook tip cannot become damaged the next time
the machine is switched on and completes a reference run.
2. Set the main switch (3) to position 0.
The control panel shuts down. When the POWER LED (2)
goes out, the machine and the control are disconnected
from the power supply.

until it reaches the end stop.
Important
Align the needle (4) in such a way that the groove (5) is pointing
to the rear.
5. Tighten the threaded pin (3) through the hole in the thread
guide (2).
Order
Always adjust the clearance between the hook and the needle (4)
after changing to a different needle thickness ( Service
