CAUTION
• When using zipper foot "I", make sure the
straight stitch, middle needle position is
selected. Rotate the handwheel toward you

does not strike the presser foot. If another
stitch is selected, the needle will strike the
presser foot, causing the needle to break and
possibly causing injury.
• Make sure the needle does not strike the
zipper during sewing. If the needle strikes the
zipper, the needle may break, leading to
injury.
