the machine is regulated by the amount of pressure put on the foot
control.
Caution: Always make sure that the machine is unplugged from
power source and the main switch is on “O”. when the machine is
not in use and before inserting or removing parts.
Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as to connect
machine to power source. Unplug power cord when machine is not
in use.

TWO-STEP PRESSER FOOT LEVER
ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE
When sewing several layers or thick fabrics, the
presser foot can be raised a second stage for easy
positioning of the work. (A)
The presser foot pressure of the machine has been
pre-set and usually requires no readjustment for most
fabrics (light-or-heavy weight).
However, if you need to adjust the presser foot
pressure, turn the presser adjusting screw with a coin.
For sewing very thin fabric, loosen the pressure by
turning the screw counter clockwise for less pressure
on the fabric, and for heavy fabric, tighten by turning it
clockwise for more pressure on the fabric.
