Electronic Knee-Lift (4.2); Needles - Pfaff expression line Owner's Manual

Electronic knee-lift (4.2)

Your machine comes with an electronic knee-lift
for regulating the presser foot height.
Insert the knee-lift in the provided hole on the
machine. Adjust the rectangular bar on the knee-
lift (A) until it is positioned at a comfortable height
for you.
If you press the knee-lift to the right, the presser
foot will raise. You can now guide the fabric with
both hands.
To remove the knee-lift, just pull it straight out of
the hole.
