To disconnect, turn the power switch to the off position, then remove the plug from outlet.

Polarized plug information

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other), to reduce the risk of electrical shock; this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

8

STARTING SEWING

Start/stop button

The machine will start running when Start/stop button is pressed and will stop when pressed the second time.

The machine will rotate slowly at the beginning of the sewing.

The speed limiting adjustment lever can control the sewing speed. To increases the speed, slide the lever to the right , To decrease the sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.

Foot control

With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.

Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly depress the foot control to start sewing.

Release the foot control to stop the sewing machine.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

The presser foot pressure dial is on the left of the face plate.

The presser foot pressure of the machine has been pre-set and requires no particular readjustment according to the type of fabric.

For sewing with very thin fabric, reduce the pressure by turning the knob clockwise, and for heavy fabric, increase the pressure by turning it counterclockwise.

LCD SCREEN BRIGHTNESS CONTROL

Attention: The LCD display control adjustment is only suitable for the voltage 120V/60Hz system.

THREAD TENSION

TightLoose

- Basic thread tension setting: "4"

- To increase the tension, turn the dial to the next number up. To reduce the tension, turn the dial to the next number down.

- Proper setting of tension is important to good sewing.

- There is no single tension setting appropriate for all the stitch functions and fabrics.

- 90% of all sewing will be between "3" and "5" ("4" is basic setting).

- For all decorative sewing you will always obtain a nicer stitch and less fabric puckering when the upper thread appears on the bottom side of your fabric.

USEFUL SKILLS

Sewing on the heavy fabric

The black button on the right side of the presser foot will lock the presser foot in a horizontal position if you push it in before lowering the presser foot. This ensures even feeding at the beginning of a seam and helps when sewing multiple layers of fabric such as sewing over seams when hemming jeans.

When you reach the point of an increased thickness, lower the needle and raise the presser foot. Press the toe of the foot and push in the black button, then lower the foot and continue sewing.

The black button releases automatically after sewing few stitches.

You also can place another piece of fabric with the same thickness at the back of the seam.

Or support the presser foot while feeding by hand and sewing toward the folded side.

Please Note: Always try to sew first without the walking foot accessory which should be used only when necessary.

It is easier to guide the fabric and you have a better view of the seam when using the standard, regular foot on your machine. Your sewing machine offers excellent stitch quality on a wide range of fabrics from delicate chiffons to multiple layers of denim.

The Walking Foot accessory equalizes the feeding of the upper and lower layers of fabric and improves the matching of plaids, stripes and patterns. It also helps to prevent uneven feeding of very difficult fabrics.
