CONNECTING THE MACHINE TO THE POWER SOURCE
Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from power source and the main switch is on "O". when the machine is not in use and before inserting or removing parts.
ONOFF
Connecting the machine
Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the voltage and frequency shown on the machine is conforming with your electrical power.
Place the machine on a stable table.
1. Connect the power line cord to the machine by inserting the 2-hole plug into the terminal box.
2. Connect the power line plug to the electric outlet.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. The sewing lamp will light up when the switch is turned on.
To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove plug from outlet.
Polarized plug information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
7
STARTING SEWING
Foot control
With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.
Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly depress the foot control to start sewing.
Release the foot control to stop the sewing machine.
Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to the power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.
The appliance must be used with the foot controller C-9000 manufactured by CHIEN HUNG TAIWAN., LTD.
ADJUSTING PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no particular readjustment according to the type of fabric (light-or-heavy weight).
However, if you need to adjust the presser foot pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.
For sewing very heavy fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise, and for thin fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise.

- Basic thread tension setting: "4"
- To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.
- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.
- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.
- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic setting).
- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

Reverse stitching is used to secure the threads at the beginning and at the end of a seam.
Free arm
Press the reverse button and sew 4-5 stitches.
The machine will sew forward when the button is released.
Free-arm sewing is convenient for sewing tubular areas such as pant hems and cuffs.
28
USEFUL SKILLS
Sewing on the heavy fabric
The black button on the right side of the presser foot will lock the presser foot in a horizontal position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the beginning of a seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over seams when hemming jeans.
When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower the needle and raise the presser foot. Press the toe of the foot and push in the black button, then lower the foot and continue sewing.
Cardboard or
thick fabric
The black button releases automatically after sewing few stitches.
You also can place another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of the seam. Or support the presser foot while feeding by hand and sewing toward the folded side.

It assures you of a stitch that is strong and flexible and will give with the fabric without breaking. Good for easy to ravel and knit fabrics. It is good for joining durable fabric such as denims.
These stitches can also be used as a decorative top stitch.
Straight stretch stitch is used to add triple reinforcement to stretch and hardwearing seams.
Triple zigzag stretch stitch is suitable for firm fabrics like denim, poplin, duck, etc.
