● Automatic lowering of the feed dog when lifting the presser foot
When you lift the presser foot to its extra lift position with the knee lifting lever, the feed dog automatically comes
down to its lower position.
This feature is helpful for placing the material under the presser foot or removing it from there as well as prevent-
ing the material from being damaged since the material will not be caught in the feed dog.

not interfere when the needle is in down position and
the presser foot is raised to the extra lift position.
It is possible to lift and lower the presser foot with your knee
instead of using your hands.
Push the lever ⓐ to right-hand side to lift the presser foot.
The presser foot is lowered when the lever goes back to the
original position.
The presser foot can be lifted to the extra lift position with
the knee lifting lever as in the case of using the presser foot
lifting lever.
Operation of the knee lifter lever is enabled by pressing
the lever to the rightmost position after lifting the press-
er foot with the presser foot auto lift button.
* Do not touch the knee lifting lever while sewing. If you
touch the knee lifter lever during sewing, the presser foot
