Deactivate The Upper Cutter; Reactivate The Upper Cutter; Attach The 2-Thread Overlock Converter; Remove The 2-Thread Overlock Converter - Singer S14-88 Instruction Manual

Deactivate the Upper Cutter

• Turn the hand wheel toward you until the upper cutter is in its
lowest position.
• Turn off the upper cutter by switching the upper cutter switch to
non-cutting position (A).

Reactivate the Upper Cutter

• Turn on the upper cutter by switching the upper cutter switch to
cutting position (B).
Note: Always have the upper cutter in the cutting position when
sewing, because this machine must trim off any excess fabric to
form the stitch over the fabric edge. An exception to this is when
sewing decorative flatlock seams. Then the upper cutter needs to be
turned off.
Attach the 2–thread Overlock
Converter
2-thread overlock stitches are sewn using one needle thread and
the lower looper thread. Before sewing, the two-thread converter
must be attached to the upper looper, so the machine will sew
with only two threads.
1. Open the front cover.
2. Bring the upper looper to its lowest position by turning the
hand wheel toward you.
3. Insert the tip of the converter (A) into the hole of the upper
looper (B).
4. Push the converter (C) down into the slot of the upper looper.

Remove the 2-thread Overlock Converter

Remove the converter by tilting it toward you (D).
