This foot is very useful for sewing materials such as vinyl cloth,
synthetic leather, thin leather, etc. These materials are difficult to
feed when sewing. The walking foot prevents such materials from
crumpling, slipping or sticking between presser foot and material
due to even feeding of upper and lower materials.
NOTE:
Use this foot only for straight sewing and zigzag stitching. Do not
use other patterns.
1. Remove the power supply plug from the outlet.
2. Raise the needle and the presser foot.
3. Loosen the presser foot holder screw to remove the presser foot
holder. (See fig. A)
4. Attach the forked section of the connecting lever to the needle
clamp, install the walking foot to the presser bar. (See fig. B)
5. Lower the presser foot lever and then tighten the presser bar
holder fixing screw. (See fig. C)
1 Forked part of operation lever

1 Use a screwdriver
CAUTION
• Use the screwdriver to tighten the screw securely. If the
screw is loose, the needle may strike the presser foot
and cause injury.
• Be sure to turn the handwheel toward the front of the
machine to check that the needle does not strike the
presser foot. If the needle strikes the presser foot, injury
may result.
• Be careful not to touch the needle when attaching the
walking foot, otherwise injury may result.
CAUTION
When sewing with the walking foot, sew at medium to low
speeds.
