Note
– The side cutter will not cut the fabric if the fabric
is simply spread out under the presser foot and
the guide plate. Be sure to position the fabric as
explained in step 9 before sewing.
– Always raise the needle before raising the
presser foot lever.
–The side cutter can cut one layer of 13-oz
denim.
– Clean the side cutter after using it, otherwise
dust and scraps of thread will build up in it.
– Add a small amount of oil as required to the
cutting edge of the cutter.
11. Lower the presser foot lever.
CAUTION
After the stitch width is adjusted, turn the
balance wheel toward you by hand and check
that the needle does not touch the side cutter.
If the needle hits the side cutter and breaks,
injuries may occur.
When sewing straight stitches, the seam margin
will be about 13/64" (5.0 mm).
