3-12. To use the sewing machine with a cloth puller for sewing heavy-to medium-weight ma-
terials
WARNING :
Turn OFF the power before starting the work so as to prevent accidents caused by abrupt start of the
sewing machine.
The MS-1261A has been developed to sew extra heavy-weight materials as standard. Various kinds of gauges have been prepared to enable the machine to be used for sewing heavy- to medium-weight materials. Replace the gauge, when sewing heavy- to mediumweight materials, following the procedure described below.

medium-weight materials has been
designed so that it can be used only
by replacing it without adjusting the
feed dog height. However, it is really
necessary to adjust the feed dog height,
