After finishing the sew mode the table motor starts again and moves the table back to the “home position“. On the way back to home position the hole will be punched. After punching the hole the clamp can be raised before the table is at home position to insure that the shear cutter dose not cut the material.
ML8890BH-20 SECTION V PROGRAMMING MODE There are two ways to go from the operating to the programming mode. Press the button to go to the first group (SPEEDS). Continue pressing this key to step through the groups or press the button to go to the last changed parameter.
