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
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 bobbin thread
is almost empty. When the bobbin thread is
nearly empty, the machine automatically
stops. However, if the “Start/Stop” button is
pressed, a few stitches can be sewn. If 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.
Memo
• When the foot controller is being used, the
“Start/Stop” button has no effect on sewing.
• The foot controller cannot be used when
embroidering.
• The foot controller can be used for sewing
utility and decorative stitches when the
embroidery unit is attached.
Note
Do not pull the retractable cord out beyond the
red mark on the cord.
