Unpacking
and putting
away
the machine
Unpacking
Place
the
machine
on
the table,

handle.
Lift off
the
cover
and put
it
aside.
Remove
the
foot control
from the back
of
the
machine.
Wipe
the machine
clean
before
you
start
sewing,
and
be especially
careful with the
stitch
plate
and
the space
around
the
needle.
The machine
is equipped
with
a
number
of presser
feet
and
these
are
packed
in
two
plastic
bags.
Regarding the
placing
of the
accessories,
please
refer
to
page
14
under
“Accessory
box”.
Putting
the
machine away

the plugs
out
of the
wall
outlet
and
the
socket
of
the machine.

the
cords
around
your
hand, starting
at the

Connecting
the
machine
Connecting
the foot
control
Remove
the
cord
from
the
foot
control
and
place the
control
under
the table. Insert
the
foot
control
plug
into
the
socket
on
the
right
side of
the machine.
The
plug
is
marked
UP
for
ease
in
connecting
to
machine.
Connecting
to
the
wall
outlet
The
voltage
(V)
and
frequency
(Hz)
are indicated
under
the
base
of
the machine. Check
that
these
ratings
correspond
to
those of
the
power
supply
before
connect
ing
the machine.
Main
switch
The
light
and
the
machine are
turned
on
by
pressing
the
main
switch.
This
makes
it
easy
to
see
that
the
machine
is
ready
for
sewing.
Speed
control
and
needle
stop-right
The
speed
is
controlled
by
means
of
the
foot control.
Press
the
foot
control
down
lightly and
the
machine
will
start
sewing
at
the lowest
stitch speed.
This
speed
is
suitable
for
precision
sewing
and
on
occasions
when
you
wish
to
have
better
control
for
intricate
work.
When
you depress the
foot
control
further
the
machine
will
run faster. The
needle
has
full
penetration
power
all
the
time.
When you
lift
your
foot
from
the control
the
needle
will
always stop
at
its
upper
position
so
it
is not necessary
to
think
about the
needle
position
at
the
start
or
finish
of
a
seam.
If
you
wish to
turn
the
fabric
when
sewing
around
a
corner
for
example,
it
is
easy
to get
the needle
to
stop
down
in
the
fabric.
Just
press
the
foot
control
down
quickly
and
release
it
again.

Function
Working
surface
The
working
surface
around
the
stitch
plate
consists
partly
of
the
upper
side
of
the
accessory
box
and
partly
of
the machine
itself,
i.e.
the
free
arm.
Retain the
accessory
box
on
the
machine when
you
require
a larger
working
surface.
Pull
the
accessory
box
to
the
left
and
remove
it
if
you
wish to
use
the
free
arm.
Pant
legs
and
sleeves can be
drawn
onto
the
free
arm,
making
it easy
to
sew,
mend
or
patch these
parts.
The
free
arm
also
makes
it
much
easier
to
attach
collars
and
cuffs
as
well
as
sew
children’s clothes,
or
darn
socks
and
stockings
on
the
machine.
Presser
bar
lever
By
means
of
the
presser bar
lever
at
the
rear
of
the
machine,
the
presser
foot
can
be
raised
and
lowered.
The
lift
height
can
be
increased
by
3
mm,
if
the
presser
bar
lever is
raised, pushed
upward
and
held
in
position.
This
is
useful
when
you
want
to
put
garments
with
thick
seams
under
the
presser
foot.
The
presser
foot
should
be
lowered
while
sewing.
