x Insert the machine plug into the machine socket.
c Insert the power supply plug into the wall outlet.
v Turn the power switch on.
q Power switch
w Machine plug
e Machine socket
r Power supply plug
t Wall outlet

NOTE:

Before connecting to the power supply, make sure the
voltage shown on the machine conforms to your
electrical power.

WARNING :

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 intermittently.

Operating Instructions:

The symbol “O” of a switch indicates the “off” position of
a switch.

For an appliance with a polarized plug (one blade wider
than the other):
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is
intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If it does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

The foot controller Model YC-482J-EC or TJC-150 is used
with this sewing machine (USA market only).

Balancing Needle Thread Tension

The thread tension should be adjusted depending on the
sewing materials, layers of fabric and sewing method.
To adjust the thread tension, turn the tension dial.
q Thread tension dial

Balanced tension:

The ideal straight stitch has threads locked between two
layers of fabric, as illustrated.

For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the
needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom
side) of the fabric.
w Needle thread (Top thread)
e Bobbin thread (Bottom thread)
r Right side (Top side) of fabric
t Wrong side (Bottom side) of fabric

Needle thread tension is too tight:

The bobbin thread (bottom thread) will appear on the
right side (top side) of the fabric.
Loosen the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
lower number.

Needle thread tension is too loose:

The needle thread (top thread) will form loops on the
wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric.
Tighten the needle thread tension by moving the dial to a
higher number.

Starting to sew

Raise the presser foot and place the fabric under the foot.
Lower the needle into the fabric.
Lower the presser foot and smooth the threads toward
the back. Depress the foot control.

NOTE:

Draw the threads to the left when sewing with the
buttonhole foot.
To fasten the beginning of the seam, first sew several
stitches in reverse then sew forward.

Changing the Sewing Direction

Stop the machine and turn the handwheel toward you to
bring the needle down into the fabric.
Raise the presser foot.
Pivot the fabric around the needle to change sewing
direction as desired. Lower the presser foot and continue
sewing in the new direction.

Finishing sewing

Press the reverse stitch lever and sew several stitches in
reverse at the end of the seam.

Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric, drawing the
threads to the back.

Draw the threads up and into the thread cutter.
The threads are cut the proper length for starting the next
seam.

seam allowance when sewing a corner.

When the fabric edge facing you lines up with the
cornering guide as illustrated, stop stitching and lower the
needle into the fabric by turning the handwheel toward
you.
Raise the presser foot and pivot the fabric so the edge of
the fabric will align with the 5/8˝ (1.6 cm) seam guide.
