    CAUTION

    Always use the correct presser foot. If the wrong presser foot is used, the needle may strike the presser foot and break, possibly resulting in injury.

  5. Set the fabric under the presser foot. Hold the fabric and thread in your left hand, and rotate the handwheel counterclockwise or press (Needle position button) to set the needle in the sewing start position.

  6. Lower the presser foot.

    • You do not have to pull up the bobbin thread.

  7. Adjust the sewing speed with the speed control slide.

    • You can use this slide to adjust sewing speed during sewing.
    1. Slow
    2. Fast

  8. Press the “Start/Stop” button to start sewing.

    • Guide the fabric lightly by hand.

    When the foot controller is being used, you cannot start sewing by pressing the “Start/Stop” button.

  9. Press the “Start/Stop” button again to stop sewing.

  10. Press (Thread cutter button) to trim the upper and bobbin threads.

    • The needle will return to the up position automatically.
    IMPORTANT
    • Do not press (Thread cutter button) after the threads have been cut. Doing so could tangle the thread or damage the machine.
    • Do not press (Thread cutter button) when there is no fabric set in the machine or during machine operation. The thread may tangle, possibly resulting in damage.

    When cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon monofilament thread, or other decorative threads, use the thread cutter on the side of the machine.

  11. When the needle has stopped moving, raise the presser foot and remove the fabric.
