Stitch nger lever setting
The stitch nger lever should be set to N for all standard
overlock sewing. To sew rolled edge you need to retract
the stitch nger by setting the stitch nger lever to R.
When moving the stitch nger lever, be sure to push the
lever as far as it will go in each direction.
General threading information
A color coded diagram is located inside the front cover for
quick reference. Always start threading the loopers and
then the needles from right to left.
See the table below for recommendations on what needles
and thread to use for different fabric weights.
Tip: Your new machine is threaded to sew a standard overlock.
Tie your own threads to these threads and carefully pull them
through the machine, to easily thread your new overlock
machine the rst time.
Note: If the lower looper should come unthreaded, do the
following;
1. Unthread the needle(s)
2. Thread the lower looper
3. Thread the needle(s)
