Thread Unreeling Disc
The thread unreeling disc (in the accessory box) is
used for small spools/spools with notched or rough
ends. Place the spool on the spool pin. Place the
thread unreeling disc on top of the spool. Ma e sure
the spool dise is used under the spool.
Thread Net
Synthetic threads generally unwind too quic ly from
the thread spool. Thread nets have been included to
allow easy use of these threads. Pull the thread net
(located in the accessory box) over the spool from
below. Place the spool on the spool holder catching
the bottom of the thread net with the spool pin.
Foam Pads/ Cone Holders
If you are using large cones (5,000 10,000 mm), the
foam pads and the cone holders will be helpful to you.
With synthetic threads, the foam pads catch threads
that have slipped down and help to advance the
thread flawlessly.
Cone holders serve to ensure that large cones are
well positioned.
Telescopic Thread Guide
Pull the telescopic thread guide upwards to its highest
position.
To ensure optimum thread feed, turn the telescopic
parts slowly until you hear the loc ing balls fic into
place.

Polarized plug information
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other),
to reduce the ris of electrical shoc ; this plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
modify the plug in any way.

Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as how to connect the machine to
the power source. Unplug the power cord when the machine is not in use.
Unplug power cord when machine is not in use.
The foot control must be used with the appliance by 4C-316B (110-120V area) / 4C-
326G (220-240V area).
With the sewing machine turned off, insert the foot
control plug into its connector on the sewing machine.
Turn on the sewing machine, and then slowly
depress the foot control to start sewing.
Release the foot control to stop the sewing machine.
Foot control
The preset presser foot pressure on the machine is
suitable for medium fabrics. For most fabrics, the
presser foot pressure does not need to be altered. If
you intend to wor with lighter or heavier fabrics,
however, it may be necessary to reset the pressure.
In this case, you can choose from six positions; ma e
your selection with the presser foot pressure
adjustment nob. The standard setting is N .
Lower the presser foot before
turning the presser foot pressure adjustment knob.
This makes the knob easier to turn.
