Operation Buttons - Singer 398054 Operation And Safety Notes

OPERATION BUTTONS

The operation buttons help you to easily
perform various basic sewing machine oper-
ations.
START/STOP BUTTON
When sewing without having the foot control
connected, the machine starts slowly when
the start/stop button is pushed. When it is
pushed again, needle moves and stops at its
highest position.
When using foot control, simply press foot
pedal with your foot until you reach a slow
even speed. The harder you push, the faster
the machine will sew. Release pressure on
foot pedal to stop the machine.
NOTE: When foot control is connected, start/
stop button cannot be used.
NEEDLE UP/DOWN BUTTON
Press the needle position button to raise or lower
the needle. Pressing the button twice sews one
stitch.
DUAL PURPOSE REVERSE/TACKING
STITCH BUTTON
Reverse stitch function for straight and
zigzag stitches. Reverse sewing is carried
out while the reverse stitch button is pushed.
The machine will continue to sew in reverse
as long as the reverse button is pressed.
Tacking stitch function for tie-off of other
stitches. The sewing machine makes 4 tiny
tacking stitches to tie off the sewing on all pat-
terns except straight, zigzag and buttonhole
stitches. The position of the tacking stitches
will be at the exact spot in the pattern where
the reverse/tacking stitch button is pushed.
NOTE: This function is very useful for tying
off the sewing pattern to avoid raveling at the
start and end of sewing.
