TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LEVER

When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy positioning of the work. (A)

ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and usually requires no readjustment for most fabrics (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 thin fabric, loosen the pressure by turning the screw counter clockwise for less pressure on the fabric, and for heavy fabric, tighten by turning it clockwise for more pressure on the fabric.

PRESSER FOOT SHANK

Attention: Turn power switch to “O” before carrying out any of the operations below.

Attaching the presser foot shank:

Raise the needle to its highest position and raise the presser foot lever. Attach the presser foot shank (b) to the presser foot bar (a). (1)

Attaching the presser foot:

Lower the presser foot shank (b) until the cut-out (c) is directly above the pin (d). (2)

Lower the presser foot shank (b) and the presser foot (f) will engage automatically.

Removing the presser foot:

Raise the presser foot. Release the pressure foot by raising lever (e) located

at the back of the presser foot shank. (3)

Attaching the seam guide:

Attach the seam guide (g) in the slot on the shank as illustrated. Adjust the distance as required for hems, pleats, quilting, etc. (4)
