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
in the machine 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 teeth project up through the needle plate,
directly below the presser foot. Their function is to
move the fabric being sewn. The drop feed lever
controls the feed teeth.
For ordinary sewing, move the lever to the right.
This raises feed teeth 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 teeth.
Note:
After sewing with the feed teeth lowered, push
the Drop Feed Lever back to the right to resume
sewing with feed teeth engaged. Push the lever
to the right and then turn the handwheel toward
you one full revolution. This will re-engage the
feed teeth.
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. TOP COVER
To open the top cover, lift up the left side of the
cover.
J. HAND WHEEL
By turning the hand wheel, the needle will raise
or lower. You should always turn hand wheel
toward you.
