W6 Tip
You must not sew with the foot controller. It is preferable from an ergo-
nomic point of view and easier on the back to work without the foot
controller. Start and stop the sewing machine by means of the ‹Start-Stop›
button. In addition, set a suitable speed by means of the speed controller.
Try it, you’ll be thrilled!
