■ Using the Multi-Function Foot
Controller
You can also use the included multi-function foot
controller to start and stop sewing.
Memo
• When the foot controller is being used, you
cannot start sewing by pressing the “Start/
Stop” button.
CAUTION
• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button after
the threads have been cut. Doing so could
tangle the thread or break the needle and
damage the machine.
• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button when
there is no fabric set in the machine or during
machine operation. The thread may tangle,
possibly resulting in damage.
Note
• When cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon
monofilament thread, or other decorative
threads, use the thread cutter on the side of
the machine.
Memo
• This machine is equipped with a bobbin
thread sensor that warns you when the bob-
bin thread is almost empty. When the bobbin
thread is nearly empty, the machine auto-
matically stops. However, if the “Start/Stop”
button is pressed, a few stitches can be
sewn. When the warning displays, re-thread
the machine immediately.
CAUTION
• Do not allow fabric pieces and dust to collect
in the foot controller. Doing so could cause a
fire or an electric shock.
