CONNECTING MACHINE
Before plugging in our machine, be sure that
the voitage and number of amperes indicated
at the right end of the machine, conform to
our electricai power suppi .
• Push the machine plug into the machine
socket.
• Connect the power-line plug to our electri
cal outlet.
To turn on the machine and set speed range,
push the power and light switch to desired
speed. This will also turn on the sewing light.
• The MIN. setting A (switch pressed in half
wa ) allows for maximum control. Use this
setting for special jobs where intricate con
struction details require close control. The
speed range this setting provides is ap
propriate for almost all of our sewing
needs.
• The MAX, setting B (switch pressed in all
the wa ) allows for full speed capacit of the
machine. It is best for long, straight seams,
and eas -to-handle fabrics.
To run the machine, press the foot or knee
speed controller, The harder ou press, the
faster the machine will sew within the
selected speed range. The lighter ou press,
the slower the machine will sew within the
selected speed range.
CAUTION: Switch off the power and light
switch when changing needles, feet or needle
plates or when leaving the machine unattended.
This eliminates the possibility of starting the
machine by accidentally pressing the speed
controller.

Regulating Needle-thread Tension
REGULATING NEEDLE-THREAD
TENSION
The tension dial reguiates the degree of ten
sion on our needie thread and iets ou select
just the right setting for our stitch, thread,
and fabric. The numbers on the dial eliminate
guesswork in duplicating settings.
Correct tension is important because too much
or too little will weaken our seams. To find
the correct tension setting, make a test on a
sample of our fabric. If the fabric puckers or
the bobbin thread is pulied to the fabric sur
face, decrease tension. If the surface or under
side stitches look loose, increase tension.
• To increase tension, turn dial to a higher
number.
• To decrease tension turn dial to a lower
number.
NOTEr The tension dial controls needle-thread
tension only. Bobbin-thread tension has been
correctly set at the factory, and you do not
need to adjust it.
SETTING STITCH LENGTH
The stitch-length dial regulates the length of
both straight and zig-zag stitches. The num
bers 6 to 20 represent the number of straight
stitches per inch: the higher the number, the
shorter the stitch. Generail , shorter stitches
are best for lightweight fabric; longer ones for
heav fabric. Curved seams, bias-cut seams,
and scallops require short straight stitches
(15 to 20) for elasticit and smooth contours.
Bound buttonhoies should be sewn with a
short stitch for durabilit and strength.
• To set stitch iength, turn dial to setting
desired. •
• For reverse stitching, press diai ali the wa
down and hoid in piace.

PIN BASTING
Pin basting is a time saver and can be used
when ou sew eas -to-handle fabric. Use fine
pins and place them so that;
• The are at right angles to the presser foot
and just nip into the fabric at the stitching
line.
• The do not extend under both sides of the
presser foot. Never place pins on the under
side of the fabric In contact with the feed.
• Sew, pulling pins out of fabric as ou stitch.
We do not recommend sewing over pins.
For information on speed basting b maohlne,
turn to page 28.
PLACING FABRIC
Most fabric can be placed under the presser
foot b raising the presser-foot lifter to its up
position. When placing bulk fabrics, such as
coating, knit or terr cloth, or several fabric
la ers, raise the presser-foot lifter to its high
position and make sure needle is at its highest
point. Hold lifter in position (since it does not
lock) while placing fabric under the presser
foot. Make sure the lifter is all the wa down
before starting to sew.
