Light Work Clamp - Brother KE-434C Instruction Manual

14. SETTING THE WORK CLAMP MODE

14-3. Light work clamp

For pneumatic specifications, the hose connections can be changed so that the pressers are made to lower gently when the
presser pedal is depressed to the 1st step, and firmly when the presser pedal is depressed to the 2nd step. This makes it
easier to carry out position matching when attaching small articles such as labels.
[Memory switch setting]
Set memo-42 to 5 for two-pedal mode so that the pressers lower in the order of left then right for the standard hose
connection. (Refer to "13. Changing special functions using the memory switches".)
Hose connections for light work clamp operation by both pressers
[How to use]
1. Depress the presser pedal to the 1st step to lower the pressers and apply a light pressure. You can then position small
articles such as labels at this time.
2. After checking that everything is positioned correctly, depress the presser pedal to the 2nd step to firmly clamp the article
being sewn.
3. Press the start pedal to start sewing.
Other hose connections and corresponding operations
The hoses can be connected in combinations other than the one shown above so that only one side of the presser operates
in light work clamp mode.
