Setting Up the Machine

Positioning the needles up/down

The needles always remain in the topmost position when the sewing process is stopped. Turning the
handwheel changes the needle position and the topmost position is not ensured. The «Back-kick» is
deactivated when the machine covers are open.
The top needle position is required for the following actions:
• to change the needle
• to thread the needle
• to swing out the presser foot
• to start the air threader process
> «Back-kick» on the foot control.

Adjusting the needle stop up/down

The needle stop position can be preset in the stitch view and defines the stop position of the needle at the
end of the sewing. (see page 33)
> Tap needle stop up/down.

2.6 Machine Covers

The machine covers protect against injuries caused by moving components and prevent fragile elements
from being damaged. All covers must be fitted or closed prior to sewing.
• Threader cover
• Looper cover
• Knife cover insert/coverstitch insert
A needle movement is still possible in some cases. (see page 84)

Open/Close the Threader Cover

The threader cover protects the inserted looper threads during sewing operations. The accessory holder on
the inside of the threader cover provides quick access to the most frequently used accessories.
> To open the threader cover, hold the groove and lower it forwards.
