INSERTING AND REMOVING THE MATERIAL
For all kinds of sewing, consult chart on
page 5.
Before placing the material on the machine,
see that:
• The presser foot and needle clamp
screws are both tight.
• The sizes of needle and thread suit the
kind of work to be done.
• The needle and take-up lever are at
their highest position.
The ends of the threads have been drawn
about 4 inches to the rear of the machine.
• The feed dogs are up.
• Stitch length and width controls are set
at desired settings.
Experiment by sewing on the fabric to be
used to determine tension adjustment and
correct stitch settings.
Place material under the presser foot, nsert
the needle into the material by turning the
hand wheel toward you, lower presser foot
and start sewing.
To remove the work, first turn hand wheel
toward you until needle is at its highest
position, then raise the presser foot, draw
material to the rear and cut off excess
thread with the thread cutter located on the
presser bar.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the hand wheel
toward you! When machine is not being
used, place a piece of material over the feed
dog and lower the presser foot. Always have
fabric under the presser foot when operat-
ing the machine. Operating threaded ma-
chine without fabric will cause it to jam by
forcing thread into the shuttle." See page 20.
