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".

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