2. Turn the fabric around the needle.
3. Lower the presser foot and start to sew again.

TO FINISH SEAM
1. At the end of a seam, press the reverse feed knob to sew a few
stitches for reinforcement.

2. Stop the machine when the thread take-up lever is at its highest
point. Raise the presser foot and remove the fabric away from you.
3. Sever the thread with either the thread cutter slotted in the presser
bar or with a pair of scissors, leaving about 5 inches of thread from

While sewing, hold the cloth carefully so that it is sufficiently fed into the mouth of hemmer.
When the cloth slips out of the mouth of hemmer, move the cloth to the right.
When the cloth is rolled up excessively, move it a little to the left.

 CLOTH GUIDf
The cloth guide is used for stitching close to the edge of the fabric,
or to make a wide hem up to I t inches in a straight and uniform
line.

1. Place the guide in the holes to the right of the needle plate
and tighten the thumb screw firmly, adjusting the guide to the
desired position.
2. Run the machine with the edge of the fabric touching the guide.

Note: You can also make overedged seams using the cloth guide.

This sewing assure the durable finish of the cloth if the

fabric is likely to ravel.
Lower the presser foot and lock the zigzag width knob at a
certain width so that right side stitches of zigzag fall slightly
off the edge of the cloth.

 TO CLEAN SHUTTLE RACE

Because your machine is specially equipped with the shuttle

thread ejector which prevents jamming of the shuttle, it

will rarely be necessary to open and clean the shuttle-race.

However, if for some reason it should be required to open

and clean the shuttle-race;

First raise the needle bar to its highest point and remove

the bobbin case.

Next, twist the shuttle-race nng clasps outward and take

out the shuttle-race ring. shuttle hook shuttle race ring

Carefully remove shuttle hook and clean out shuttle race.

Replace shuttle hook, shuttle-race ring and lock with clasps.

Be careful not to drop the shuttle to avoid possible damage. bobbin bobbin case

TO CLEAN FEED Dor;

It is necessary to keep the feed dog teeth always cleaned in order to ensure smooth sewing.

Unscrew the needle plate set screws with a small driver to take off the needle plate from the machine
