3-5. Tilting back and returning the machine head

Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting it back or returning it to its original position.
In addition, do not subject the machine head to extra force while it is tilted back. If this is not observed, the machine
head may lose balance and fall over (together with the table), and injury or damage to the sewing machine may result.
Do not hold the feed base (2) and the feed guide shaft (3). If this is not observed and the feed base (2) or feed guide
shaft (3) come off, the machine head may fall down and injury or damage to the machine head may result.
The machine head can be tilted back and returned to one of two heights.
NOTE:
Always be sure to turn off the power switch before tilting back and returning the machine head.
