The pedal is operated in the following four steps :
1) The machine runs at low sewing speed when you lightly depress the front part of the pedal. B
2) The machine runs at high sewing speed when you further depress the front part of the pedal. A (If the automatic
reverse feed stitching has been preset, the machine runs
at high speed after it completes reverse feed stitching.)
3) The machine stops (with its needle up or down) when you reset the pedal to its original position. C
4) The machine trims threads when you fully depress the back part of the pedal. E
* When the auto-lifer (AK device) is used, one more op-
erating switch is provided between the sewing machine
stop switch and thread trimming switch.
The presser foot goes up when you lightly depress the
back part of the pedal D, and if you further depress the
back part, the thread trimmer is actuated.
When starting sewing from the state that the presser foot
has been lifted with the Auto-lifter and you depress the
back part of the pedal, the presser foot only comes down.
• If you reset the pedal to its neutral position during the au-
tomatic reverse feed stitching at seam start, the machine
stops after it completes the reverse feed stitching.
• The machine will perform normal thread trimming even
if you depress the back part of the pedal immediately
following high or low speed sewing.
• The machine will completely perform thread trimming
even if you reset the pedal to its neutral position immedi-
ately after the machine started thread trimming action.
