Make sure stop motion knob b is tightened before
you begin sewing (clockwise as indicated by white
arrow).
If you want to turn balance wheel a by
hand (although normally there is no need to do
so), alwoys turn it toward you (counier.clockwise
as shown by black arrow).
Never run a threaded machine unless you have
fabric under the presser foot.
The machine will feed the material under the
sewing foot automatically. All you have to do is
guide the work. Never try to hasten feeding by
pushing or pulling the fabric while stitching
because the needle may bend or break.
Before you begin and after you have completed a
seam, always operate the Stopmatic lever to raise
the take-up lever to a position about
5/35
below
the top of its stroke (see ill.). When in this position,
the needle can be threaded with the needle
threader, or the work be removed from the
machine.
The Stopmcttic
Push the raised presser bar lifter toward
the machine as far as it will go
--
and the
motor will automatically lift the take-up
lever and the needle to the positions re
quired for threading the needle and re
moving the work. (Don't forget to plug in
the machine, though.)
Whenever you have to raise the needle,
operate the Stopmatic lever.
