● Use the oval screwdriver to tighten the
presser foot holder screw securely. If the
screw is loose, the needle may hit the
presser foot and you may be injured.
● Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
the needle hits the presser foot, the
needle may bend or break.
● Do not turn on the machine while
pressing down the foot controller.
