* Raise the needle above the material when adjusting the zigzag width. If the zigzag width is adjusted while the needle is
piercing the material, the needle may bend.

The scale is a guide only; if the width of the finished zigzag stitches differs greatly from the scale value, make the fol-
lowing adjustment.
