Whenthe upper position is detected by turning the pulley by hand, the step A indicator switches from 0 to 1.
Whiledetection continues it keeps indicating 1. If the pulley is turned farther by hand and the position is no
longer detected, the indicator switches back from 1 to 0. The lower position detection can be checked in a
similarmanner by using the step B indicator section.
If the pulleyturning is

In automatic reverse stitching, if the fon\'ard and reversestitches are not properly aligned this function will
correct for this by changing the

2) Synchronizer malfunction safety circuit
< Purpose >
When
the synchronizer that detects the
needlestopping position becomesindeterminate (it stops anywhere) or it failsto stop and
keeps running, the thread trimming mechanismcould be damaged,which would make the
sewing machine unusable.
To prevent this, the microprocessor constantly checks the synchronizer up and down signals.
If an abnormality occurs in the signals the sewingmachine continues to work its motor
functioning as a clutch motor without thread trimming.
< Circuit operation >
If an abnormality isdetected during sewingmachine operation, even if the pedal is depressed
the sewingmachine stops. After that, when the pedal is returned to neutral and depressed
againthe unit works asa clutch motor, so

switch and presser foot lifting by the knee switch can be done).

5) Reverse feed solenoid safety circuit
If the manual reversestitching switch is held ON continuously for 12 seconds or more, power to the reverse
