5.7.2 Adjusting the stitch condensing

For machines with pushbuttons on the machine arm
( 5.12 Keypad on the machine arm, pg. 42) it is possible
to switch over to stitch condensing while sewing. The stitch length
for stitch condensing can be adjusted by turning the adjusting
wheel (2) continuously between 1 and 4 mm. The adjusting
mark (1) on the left of the wheel indicates the stitch length selected.
Important: The stitch length for stitch condensing must not be
larger than the normal stitch length.
ATTENTION
Machine damage possible if the adjusting wheels
are turned using excessive force.
The machine is designed in such a way that it is not
possible to select a larger stitch length on the lower
adjusting wheel than on the upper adjusting wheel.
Do not use excessive force in attempting to select
a larger stitch length on the lower adjusting wheel.
