1. Stitch length regulation. The length of the stitch is controlled by a dial located on the right of the arm. Turn it right is shorten the stitch and left

to lengthen. The correct stitch length is shown by numbers in the plastic window just above the dial. Near zero is the shortest stitch, 5 the long est. To sew in reverse, just push, the button marked R in the center of the dial. When the button is released the machine will automatically sew forward again (Fig. 2).

3. Decorator discs for automatic sewing. Select one of 20 discs and insert in the disc chamber to do embroidery designs automatically (Fig. 4.).

Rotating the Restrictor knob (Fig. 3) in the dire ction of the arrow on knob, makes it possible to lock into position any zig zag width from point 0 to 4 on the dial, and is especially desirable in making buttonholes.

How to Use Selective Knob (Dial)

Fig. 8

Turn hand wheel until needle is out of material. The selective knob should not be moved at any time with the needle in the material, which would result

in bent or broken needles. Having inserted a designer

disc in the machine, turn selective knob so that the

red dot is next to "A". Your machine will now sew the design of the disc, automatically.

By returning the selective knob so that the red dot is now at "M" the machine will now do regular straight stitching, without the necessity of removing the disc first. When sewing, the red dot should always be at either the "A" or "M" point, never in between.

The stitch length is regulated simply by turning the knob shown in Fig. 9. To lengthen the stitch turn knob to left, to shorten, return to right. Refer to chart below for approximate number of

stitches per inch obtained at various settings.

1. To sew forward. Turn knob until marker on stitch indicator points to figure corresponding to the number of stitches per inch required for the work you are doing.

2. To sew backward. Push the button *R" jn the center of the stitch length knob and the machine will sew the same length stitch in reverse. When the button is released the machine

automatically returns to forward stitching. This "backtacking" locks the seams and eliminates tying of threads.

Manual Operation of Zi§ Zag Sewing

1) The zig zag regulating knob (A Fig. 10) is used to vary the stitch width, when you are doing embroidery manually. Turning this knob back and forth, rhythmically, while the machine is running, will cause the needle to swing freely from wide to narrow zig zag widths.

2: The restrictor knob (B Fig. 10) is used to restrict the width of

zig zag stitching. With needle out of material,turn the re

strictor knob in the direction of the arrow. Note that the

pointer in the dial indicates the zig zag width. Turning the knob back again, will bring the pointer in dial back to "O".

To lose« Decorator Disc

1. Turn restrictor knob ;B Fig. 11) till pointer on dial is at "O".

2. Press push button < Fig. 13) and cover of disc chamber will pop open.

3. Turn zig zag knob {A Fig. 11) so that pointer of dial

is at "4", and while holding it at this position, insert a disc as in figure 13. Make sure that the disc is inserted properly, by placing disc on spindle, and turning the disc

by hand until the notch on the underside of disc fits

over the small pin on spindle base. When this is done,

you will find that it is not possible to further rotate the disc by hand.

4. Permit knob "A" to return. ,3. Close the chamber cover.

6. Set selective knob (Fig. 8) with the red dot at "A".

7. Proceed to sew, with complete automaticity.

To remove disc from chamber, first be sure that needle is out of material, turn zig zag knob (A Fig. 11), till pointer

in dial is at "4". Hold in this position and simply lift disc straight up and out to remove.
