OPERATION
General:
After having properly installed and set up the
machine, it is now ready for stitching. It is
recommended that each operator be instructed as to
correct operating procedure and normal adjustments
necessary for varying work conditions.
WARNING
Prevent accidents by following these
rules:
1. Do not put your hands near area to
be stitched when machine is operating.
2. Turn the power off when the stitcher
is not in use.
Table/Saddle Conversion:
To convert from saddle to table fully raise front
sliding guard (Index 118, page 37), swing up front
of saddle until the two spring loaded table braces
(Index J, Fig.2) flip up to keep the table from
swinging back down.
To convert from table to saddle gently lift the front
of the table, pull forward at the bottom of one of the
table braces until the table can be gently swung
down to saddle position. Fully lower front sliding
guard (Index 118, page 37).
Table Stitching Using the Work

Position table/saddle for table stitching. Switch off
power. Swing up front guard assembly. Turn the
trip lever knob counter clockwise and position the
work trip to achieve the desired stitch location.
Swing down the front guard assembly. Switch power
on. Insert work, from the front, into the stitching
area until the work depresses the work trip, causing
stitch.
Table Stitching Using the Foot
switch:
Switch off power. Swing up front guard assembly.
Position table/saddle for saddle stitching. Turn the
trip lever knob counter clockwise and position the
work trip to serve as a back gauge or move work
trip completely back out of the way of the work.
Plug the foot switch cord into foot switch outlet on
rear control panel (work trip is then automatically
bypassed). Switch power on. Load work, from the
front, into the stitching area. Once the work is
positioned as desired step on foot switch to cause
a stitch.
