Adjustment
➢ The Cutting Edge Guide (5, left guide) is lined up with the left Coverstitch
needle.

Edge Guide (7) to the desired seam width in a range of 15 - 23mm (1/2" -
7/8").
➢ Adjust the Cloth Guide (8) into the Folded Edge Guide, leaving 2 to 4mm
(approx. 1/8") open, depending on the thickness of the fabric.
➢ Tighten the Fixation Screws and the adjustment screw securely.
➢ The fabric needs to move freely without resistance! Consider cross-seams
if applicable.
Stitches, Threading, Settings
➢ Thread the Overlocker for 3-Needle or 2-Needle Coverstitch wide or nar-
row. Always use the left needle.
➢ Set the stitch length to 3 – 4.
➢ Attach the Coverstitch Compensating foot.
Procedure
➢ Pre-fold the seam and slide it into the guide by placing the cutting edge at
its guide, having the folded edge fed softly in the hemmer guide.
➢ Lower presser foot and sew while guiding the fabric cutting edge neatly
along its guide and supporting the fabric in front of the Hemmer Guide.
➢ Before the end of the seam in a curve or tube, stop before the first stitches
reaches the Hemmer Guide.
➢ Remove the fabric from the guide. By guiding the fabric manually, contin-
ue stitching until some stitches are sewn over the first stitches.
➢ Raise the presser foot and remove the seam.
➢ Secure as project requires.
