Controlling Sewing Speed
Sewing speed can be varied by the foot control.
The harder you press on the control, the faster the
machine runs.
Step on the foot control with the presser foot lifter up, and
practice controlling the speed.
qFoot control
For Your Safety:
* While the machine is in operation, always keep your
eyes on the sewing area, and do not touch any
moving parts such as the thread take-up lever, loopers,
handwheel or needles.
* Always disconnect the machine from the power
supply:
— when leaving the machine unattended.
— when attaching or removing parts.
— when threading or cleaning the machine.
* Do not place anything on the foot control,
except when the machine is in use.
Operating instruction:
• The symbol “O” of a switch indicates the “off” position of
a switch.
• Foot controller Model YC-482J-1 is for use with this
sewing machine (U.S.A. and Canada only).
