chine stop switch and thread trimming switch.
The presser foot goes up when you lightly depress the back part of the pedal D, and if you further depress
the back part, the thread trimmer is actuated.
When starting sewing from the state that the presser foot has been lifted with the Auto-lifter and you de-
press the back part of the pedal, the presser foot only comes down.
• If you reset the pedal to its neutral position C during the automatic reverse feed stitching at seam start,
the machine stops after it completes the reverse feed stitching.
• The machine will perform normal thread trimming even if you depress the back part of the pedal immedi-
ately following high or low speed sewing.
• The machine will completely perform thread trimming even if you reset the pedal to its neutral position C
immediately after the machine started thread trimming action.
5) When you depress lightly the back part of pedal at its neutral position C before starting, the pedal is
brought to the rst presser lifting position D. When you depress the back part of pedal further, the pedal is
brought to the second presser lifting position E.
