Cutting Width Adjustment

Turn off the main power switch and unplug the machine.
When the cutting width is too narrow or too wide for the
set seam, adjust it by moving the staionary cutter.
Turn the cutting width adjustment dial to move the sta-
tionary cutter to the right or left.
Perfect Cutting width (A) – The edge of the fabric should
align with the seam.
Too narrow cutting width (B) – there is a gap between
the edge of the fabric and the seam. Increase the cutting
width by turning the cutting width adjustment dial away
from you.
Too wide cutting width (C) – the fabric gets rolled or fold-
ed into the seam. Decrease the cutting width by turning
the cutting width adjustment dial towards you.
Sew and check the cutting width.
The standard position for the stationary cutter is when
the right edge of the cutter (D) is aligned wih the guide
line on the stitch plate (E).

Stitch Length Adjustment

The stitch length dial (A) should be set to 3 (approximately
3 mm) for most sewing conditions. The dial clicks when
you turn the dial to 3. The stitch length can be adjusted
while sewing. The stitch length can be adjusted from 1 to
5 mm.
Adjust the stitch length to 4 mm when sewing on heavy-
weight fabrics.
Adjust the stitch length to 2.5 mm when sewing on light-
weight fabrics.
Set the stitch length to "R" for rolled and narrow hem
(approximately 1.5mm).

Stitch Finger Lever Setting

The stitch finger (A) is used to stabilize the fabric edge
when forming stitches. The stitch finger lever should be
set to "N" for all standard overlock sewing (B). To sew
rolled edge you need to retract the stitch finger by setting
the stitch finger lever to "R" (C).
When moving the stitch finger lever, be sure to push the
lever as far as it will go in each direction.
