If the thread trimming step-in force adjusting screw is screwed in, this force gets stronger and if
returned, it becomes weaker. After adjustment, tighten the locknut securely. The reverse step-in
amount at the time of thread trimming is meaningless unless the installing position of the thread
trimming switch must also be changed, so do
not
make adjustment.
Do not adjust the step-in pressure or the step-in amount of the low speed sewing.
This is because unless the adjustment is correctly made, the balance of force of low speed
sewing and step-in force at thread trimming time and the reverse step-in force collapses and the
machine
becomes
very difficult to
operate.

After completing the trimming (stepping the pedal to rear), if you try to step on the pedal to
front suddenly, sometimes the pedal will not move. This is because the safety device inside the pedal
is acting to prevent any undue damage to the machine. In such a case, return the pedal to the rear
once and then step on the pedal toward front once more and the machine will start its normal
running.
