CAUTION
Reverse sewing lever
You can use reverse sewing for back tacking and
reinforcing seams.
To sew in reverse, push the reverse sewing lever in as
far as possible and hold it in that position while you
lightly push the foot controller. To sew forward, release
the reverse sewing lever. The machine will then sew
forward.

Feed dog position switch
Use the feed dog position switch to raise or lower the
feed dogs according to the job that is being done. When
darning or sewing on buttons, the feed dogs should be
lowered. (The garment will not be fed.)
Note
When raising or lowering the feed dogs,
move the feed dog position switch as far as
possible to the appropriate side. Since the
feed dogs can not be lowered using the feed
dog position switch immediately after they
are raised, turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) once and after the feed
dogs are raised, lower them using the feed
dog position switch.

THREADING THE MACHINE
Winding the bobbin
CAUTION
After adjusting the stitch width, slowly
turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
the needle hits the presser foot, the
needle may bend or break.
If the stitches are bunched together,
increase the stitch length. Continuing to
sew with the stitches bunched together
may result in the needle bending or
breaking.

We designed the bobbin that comes with this machine. If you use bobbins from other models,
the machine will not work properly. Only use the bobbin that comes with this machine or
bobbins of the same type (part code: SA156, SFB: XA5539-151). Using other bobbins may
cause damage to the machine.
