FUNCTION OF EACH PART
A. START/STOP BUTTON
The machine will start running when start/stop button is pressed and will stop when pressed the second time. The
machine will rotate slowly at start of sewing.
MONITOR LAMP
Green Light “ON”:
Ready to sew or to wind bobbin.
Red Light “ON”:
Presser foot is not in down position or buttonhole lever is not lowered.
If the red light is on, the machine will not start even when start/stop button is pressed.
If upper thread is not threaded, machine will stop after a few turns. (Upper thread sensor)
NOTE:
When the foot controller is connected, start/stop button will be deactivated.
B. REVERSE BUTTON
The machine will continue to sew in reverse at low speed while this button is pressed and stop when this button is
released.
NOTE:
When the foot controller is connected and the pedal is pressed, machine will sew in reverse while this button is
pressed. When released, machine will sew forward.
C. NEEDLE UP-DOWN/SLOW BUTTON
While NOT sewing,
needle STOP position will be changed up or down by pressing this button.
While sewing,
by pressing this button, machine will sew in slow speed. Pressing this button again, the speed will
return.
D. THREAD CUTTER BUTTON
Press this button after sewing to cut the upper and lower bobbin threads.
The machine will cut both threads automatically.
CAUTION:
* Do not press this button when there is no fabric in the machine or if there is no need to cut the threads. The thread
may tangle, resulting in damage.
* Do not use this button when cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon thread or other speciality threads. In this case,
use the thread cutter. See page 26.
E. SPEED CONTROL BUTTON
The machine will sew faster when the button is slid to the right ( ), and sew slower when button is slid to the left ( ).
NOTE:
When the foot controller is connected, the speed control is automatically set to the maximum speed.

G. DROP FEED LEVER
NOTE:
The Drop Feed Lever is only accessible after the
extension table is removed.
The fabric feed dogs project up through the needle
plate, directly below the presser foot. Their function
is to move the fabric being sewn. The drop feed lever
controls the fabric feed dogs.
For ordinary sewing, move the lever to the right. This
raises feed dogs to their highest position. For most
sewing, the lever should be in this position.
For darning or free motion embroidery or whenever
fabric is to be moved by hand, move the lever to the left
to lower the fabric feed dogs.
F. PRESSER FOOT LIFTER
The presser foot is lifted up or down by this lever.
NOTE:
Machine will not start when the presser foot is lifted.
(Except for bobbin winding)
H. PRESSURE REGULATOR
The correct pressure allows fabrics to feed properly
while sewing. The setting of the presser foot pressure
is determined mainly by the 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 in increased.
To increase the pressure, turn dial to 5. (
○○○○○
)
To decrease the pressure, turn dial to 1. (○)
For most fabrics, turn dial to 3. (

HOW TO USE THE NEEDLE PLATE FOR STRAIGHT STITCH
When sewing light-weight fabric you can get beautiful
straight stitches without puckering by using the
needle plate for straight stitch. This is because the
needle plate for straight stitch has a smaller needle
hole than the regular needle plate.
Remove the regular needle plate and attach the
needle plate for straight stitch.

This machine adjusts the thread tension automatically
when you select a pattern.
However, you can change the thread tension as follows.
1. Touch the thread tension button.
The state of thread tension is displayed with
numerical value and scale. (Thread tension screen)
2. Change the thread tension with function buttons:
• To return to default tension, touch the function
button (a).
• To weaker the tension, touch the function button (b).
• To stronger the tension, touch the function button (c).
* Preset tension number is highlighted.
* You can start sewing on this thread tension screen as
it is.
* When you reselect a pattern, tension will return to
default.
Thread tension except for straight stitch
When sewing stitches other than straight stitch, thread
tension is automatically adjusted to be weaker than
when sewing a straight stitch.
This will cause upper needle thread to appear on the
bottom side of fabric, resulting in better stitching.
Helpful Hints
If your sewing appears as shown on the right, (stitches
on the top side of fabric are good but bottom side tends
to look like a towel), it could be that the upper thread
is not threaded correctly. Refer to page 18 for correct
threading.
* Also, if the bobbin thread comes out on the front side of the fabric
even though the thread tension is set to the automatic setting value,
the way of setting bobbin is wrong. Refer to page 17 and set the
bobbin correctly.

Prevents fraying of the raw edge of all fabrics.
NOTE:
Be careful not to cut the sewn thread when cutting
excess materials.
Place fabric so that needle will fall nearest to edge of
fabric when using the regular foot.
a. Use as a fray stopping method.
b. These patterns can sew overcasting and
regular stitches at the same time.
Use the regular foot for towel cloth or knitted

get caught in the cloth.
c. The overcasting foot is suitable to prevent
fraying of light-weight or medium-weight
fabrics.
a. Use for thick or stretch cloth.
b. Use for narrow zigzag width.
c. You can also cut o the excess material after
sewing the inside of fabric.
Press fabric against the guide plate of the
