You lower the feed dog by pressing the drop-feed
push-button inwards and downwards at the same
time so that the button is held in this position. In
order to raise the feed dog again press the button
upwards.
Lower the feed dog when you sew on buttons, form
closing bars (bartacks) and carry out certain darning
work, embroidery, etc.
Presser foot pressure can be adjusted with the aid of
a graduated dial located on the face plate on the
left-hand side of the machine. Set the dial at the red
4
point for normal pressure, but for some fabrics
it
may be better to reduce or increase the pressure
somewhat, i.e. turn the dial to smaller or larger
lines. When set at the symbol
(),
the presser
foot pressure is completely disengaged. This setting
is used when darning with darning foot.
If you turn the graduated dial for adjustment of the
presser foot pressure to the smallest line, it is possi
ble to do mending work with the zig-zag presser
foot. Move the fabric forwards, backwards and side
ways by hand. This works best with stitch length
dial set at zero.
