Operating Instructions:
The symbol “O” on the switch indicates the “off” position
of the switch.
Foot control model 4C-339-JM is used with this sewing
machine.
For the U.S.A and Canada only:
For appliances with a polarized plug (one blade wider
than the other): To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
plug is intended to t in a polarized outlet only one way.
If it still does not t, contact a qualied electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any
way.
Before Using Your Sewing Machine
Before using your sewing machine for the rst time,
place a scrap of fabric under the presser foot and run the
machine without thread for a few minutes. Wipe away any
oil which may appear.

Zigzag stitch balanced tension
For an ideal zigzag stitch, the bobbin thread does not
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric, and the
needle thread shows slightly on the wrong side (bottom
side) of the fabric.
See the illustrations for the correct appearance.
To match this appearance, adjust the needle tension as
necessary.
Balanced tension
Minimize the amount of needle thread visible on the
wrong side (bottom side) of the fabric without causing
excessive puckering, or causing the bobbin thread to
show on the right side (top side) of the fabric.
Results vary with fabric, thread and sewing conditions.

CAUTION:
Turn OFF the power switch before changing the

A loose needle or a loose screw may cause machine
malfunction or needle to break.
Loosen the needle clamp screw by turning it
counterclockwise. Remove the needle from the needle
clamp.
Insert a new needle into the needle clamp with the at
side to the rear. When inserting the needle into the
needle clamp, push it up as far as it will go.
Tighten the needle clamp screw rmly by turning it
clockwise.
qNeedle clamp screw
wFlat side
To see if the needle is in good condition, place the at
side of the needle onto something at (needle plate, glass
etc.). The gap between the needle and the at surface
should be consistent. Never use a bent or blunt needle.
A damaged needle can cause permanent snags or runs
in knits, ne silks and silk-like fabrics.

Fabric, Thread and Needle Chart
• For general sewing, use needle size 11/75 or 14/90.
• A ne thread and needle should be used for sewing
lightweight fabrics, so the fabric will not be marred.
• Heavy fabrics require a needle large enough to pierce
the fabric without fraying the needle thread.
• Always test the needle size on a small scrap of the
fabric that will be used for actual sewing.
• In general, use the same thread for the needle and
bobbin.
NOTE:
3 x #14/90 needles are included in the envelop.
(Part No. 639804000).
NOTE:
When sewing stretch fabrics, very ne fabrics and
synthetics, use a blue tip needle (Part No. 990311000,
sold separately). The blue tip needle effectively
prevents skipped stitches.
