Connecting the Power Supply
Turn off the power switch. Insert the foot control plug into the machine socket. Insert the machine plug into the machine socket. Insert the power supply plug into the wall outlet. Turn on the power switch. 1 Power Switch 2 Foot Control Plug 3 Machine Socket 4 Machine Plug 5 Power Supply Plug 6 Wall Outlet
NOTE:
If you turn off the power switch, wait for 5 seconds before turning it on again.
For Your Safety:
While in operation, always keep your eyes on the sewing area, and do not touch any moving parts such as the thread take-up lever, handwheel or needle. Always turn off the power switch and unplug from the power supply:
- when leaving the machine unattended.
- when attaching or removing parts.
- when cleaning the machine. Do not place anything on the foot control, otherwise the machine will run inadvertently.
Operating Instructions:
The symbol “O” of a switch indicates the “off” position of a switch.
Controlling Sewing Speed
Speed control lever
You can limit the maximum sewing speed by the speed control lever according to your sewing needs. To increase sewing speed, slide the lever to the right. To decrease sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.
Foot control
Pressing on the foot control can vary sewing speed. The harder you press the foot control, the faster the machine runs.
NOTES:
The machine runs at the maximum speed set by the speed control lever when the foot control is being fully depressed. Keep the foot control free from accumulation of lint, dust and loose cloth. Do not place anything on the foot control.

will trim the threads. The LED signal blinks while cutting the threads.
5 Thread Cutter Signal
NOTES:
The auto thread cutter does not work if the presser foot is raised. The auto thread cutter will work well with normal sewing threads #30 or finer. Use the thread cutter on the face plate to cut the specialized or thick threads if the auto thread cutter does not work well. When starting the next seam, pull the needle thread to pick the bobbin thread up and draw them to the back and under the foot. Clean the auto thread cutter mechanism regularly to avoid malfunction due to built up lint. Avoid using a paper spool when it begins to empty since it will not unwind smoothly. It may cause the thread to bunch or slip when using the auto thread cutter.
2 Up/Down needle button
Press this button to bring the needle bar up or down. The LED signal will turn on when the needle is down. The LED signal will turn off when the needle is up. The machine will stop with the needle up or down depending on the needle position determined by this button. The machine will always stop with the needle up after auto thread cutting or buttonhole stitching.
6 LED signal
3 Auto-Lock button
When stitch pattern 01, 02 or 07 has been selected, the machine will immediately sew locking stitches and automatically stop when the auto-lock button is pressed. When sewing all other stitches, the machine will sew locking stitches at the end of the pattern being sewn and automatically stop.
4 Reverse button
When stitch pattern 01, 02 or 07 has been selected, the machine will sew in reverse while the reverse button is pressed. If you press the reverse button when sewing all other stitches, the machine will immediately sew locking stitches and automatically stop.

Raising and Lowering the Presser Foot
The presser foot lifter raises and lowers the presser foot. You can raise the presser foot about 6 mm (1/4") higher than the normal up position by exerting more pressure when lifting the presser foot lifter. This allows
1
2
4
for easy removal of the presser foot and helps you to place thick fabrics under it.
1 Presser Foot Lifter 2 Presser Foot 3 Up Position 4 Extra Lift
NOTE:
If you start the machine with the presser foot up, the LED window will advise you to lower the foot. Lower the foot then restart the machine.
3
Attaching the Knee Lifter
The Knee Lifter is extremely helpful when sewing
3
2
applique, patchwork and quilting since it allows you to handle the fabric while your knee controls the presser foot. Match the ribs on the knee lifter with the notches in the knee lifter socket and insert the knee lifter.
1 Knee Lifter 2 Ribs 3 Notches
Push the knee lifter with your knee to raise and lower the presser foot.
1
NOTE:
Do not touch the knee lifter while sewing, otherwise the fabric will not be fed smoothly.

Variety of Presser Feet and Their Uses
1
1 Zigzag foot A:
This is the most versatile foot. It can be used for various stitches including straight stitches and zigzag stitches. It is designed to achieve firm and neat seam results.
2
2 Overedge foot C:
This foot is exclusively for overedging. The brush on the foot effectively prevents skipped stitches on the raw edge of fabrics.
3
3 Rolled hem foot D:
This special foot is for sewing a rolled hem. The curl of the foot helps to form a hem at a constant width.
4
4 Zipper foot E:
This foot is for sewing zippers. The zipper teeth are guided
5
through the grooves on the bottom of the foot.
5 Satin stitch foot F:
This clear plastic foot is ideal for satin stitches and decorative stitches. The center groove on the bottom of the foot ensures smooth feeding of dense stitches.
6
6 Craft foot F-2:
This is an open toe satin stitch foot for patchwork and
7
appliqué.

12
7 Blind hem foot G:
This foot is specially designed for blind hemming. The guide on the foot helps feed the fabric and sew a straight and nearly invisible blind-hem.
8 Cording foot:
This foot is specially designed to hold one or three strands of cording to create braiding.
9 Overcasting Foot M:
This foot is specially designed to simulate professional style overlocking. The wires on the foot effectively prevent the fabric edge from puckering or rolling.
10 1/4” seam foot O:
This foot is useful for patchwork piecing. The guide on the foot maintains an exact 1/4” (0.7 cm) seam allowance.
11 Basting/darning foot P:
This is a special foot for basting. It holds the fabric while taking a stitch, synchronizing with the needle bar movement. This foot can also be used for freemotion embroidery or quilting.
12 Automatic buttonhole foot R:
This foot is for buttonholes and for darning. Place a button in the button holder on the rear of the foot. This automatically sets the buttonhole size.
13 Even feed foot:
This is a special attachment for hard-to-feed materials. This foot effectively prevents fabrics from shifting and puckering. It is great for quilting and matching plaids.
