ELECTRONIC NEEDLE CONTROL
Your machine is electronically controlled
to stop with the needle in the up position
every time you remove pressure from foot
control.
NEEDLE UP/DOWN SWITCH
When you want to lower the needle, push
the left switch and the needle will move to
the down position with red light turned
on. Push it again or activate the foot
control and the light will disappear to
indicate the cancellation of needle down
position and the needle will move back to
the up position.
BASTING SWITCH
Tap the foot control with the right switch
pushed and lighted and the machine will
take one stitch only and stop with needle
in the up position. This feature provides
an electronically controlled basting or
tacking to take the chore out of hand
basting.
MAXIMUM SPEED CONTROL
You may want to vary the speed of the
machine, sewing slowly in special tight
places or if you are a new seamstress.
This control can be moved to the left to
slow the sewing of the machine. To
increase to the maximum speed, slide the
control to the right.
