F. THREAD CUTTER BUTTON
Press this button after sewing to cut the upper and
bobbin threads. The machine will cut both threads
automatically.
CAUTION:
1.
Do not press this button when there is no fabric
under the presser foot or no need to cut the threads.
The thread may tangle, resulting in damage.
2. Do not use this button when cutting thread thicker
than #30, nylon thread or other speciality threads.
In this case, use the thread cutter (H).
3.
Do not use the thread cutter button when sewing with
a twin needle or a hemstitching (wing) needle.
G. DROP FEED LEVER
The feed dogs project up through the needle plate,
directly below the presser foot. Their function is to
move the fabric while it is being sewn. The drop
feed lever controls the feed dogs.
For ordinary sewing, move the lever to the right.
This raises feed dogs to their highest position. For
most sewing, the lever should be in this position.
For darning or free motion embroidery or
whenever fabric is to be moved by hand, move the
lever to the left to lower the feed dogs.
Note:
After sewing with the feed dogs lowered, push the
Drop Feed Lever back to the right to resume sewing
with feed dogs engaged. Push the lever to the right
and then turn the handwheel toward you one full
revolution. This will re-engage the feed dogs.
H. THREAD CUTTER
Use this cutter if the thread cutter button is not used.
1. Raise the presser foot and bring fabric and
threads backward after sewing.
2. Hook the threads to the thread cutter from back to
front.
3. Pull fabric and cut threads.
I. PRESSURE REGULATOR
The correct pressure allows fabrics to feed
properly while sewing. The setting of the presser
foot pressure is determined mainly by the weight
of the fabric being sewn. For lightweight fabrics
such as sheers, batiste, voile, etc, the pressure is
decreased. For heavyweight fabrics like denim or
canvas, the pressure in increased.
To increase the pressure, turn dial to 3.
To decrease the pressure, turn dial to 1.
For most fabrics, turn dial to 2.
J. TOP COVER
To open the top cover, lift up the left side of the
cover.
K. HAND WHEEL
By turning the hand wheel, the needle will raise or
lower. You should always turn hand wheel toward you.
