6.3 Setting the Knife

Setting the Knife On/Off

For a better overview and better access in the sewing area, e. g. for threading, the knife can be lowered (off)
and then raised again (on). The knife is also lowered if the sewing project already has a clean cut edge and
the edge is only to be finished. The best sewing results are achieved by cutting and finishing in one single
step.
> Push «Knife off» to the back.
– The knife is lowered.
> Pull «Knife on» to the front.
– The knife raises and is in cutting position.
