Setting Up Your Ovation (Cont.)
6. Position the telescopic thread guide.
Raise the telescopic thread guide to its highest position. Rotate the shaft to the left and right until
each section "clicks" into a locked position. (fig. F)
7. Opening front cover
The front cover may be opened simply by placing your fingers behind the cover at the upper right
side and gently pull toward you. (fig. G)
8. Opening Cutting blade cover
To open the cutting blade cover, place your thumb against the tab, and slide the cover to the right.
A slight pull toward you will allow the cover to swing down, providing access to the loopers,
blades, and thread guides. (fig. H)
Note: The front cover has to be opened before opening the cuttting blade cover.
Your machine is pre-set to sew an overlock with a chain stitch. The upper blade is engaged to cut
the fabric while sewing. Of course, you may select to engage or disengage the cutting blade. You
can change the blade cover to the sewing table and lock the upper looper down when sewing only
the chain stitch.
