Have take-up lever at highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding
by pulhng the material as this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.
NEVER run machine without material under presser foot.
Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. You
are now ready to begin sewing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary
to touch the hand wheel to start the machine. You merely press the control. The speed of the
machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the control.

REMOVING THE WORK
Be sure to stop the machine
when the thread take-up lever
and needle bar are at the highest
position.
Now raise the presser foot
and draw the fabric back and to
the left, Fig. 21 A and B, and pass
the threads over the thread cutter.
Pull down slightly, holding
thread in both hands, so as not
to bend the needle.
Leave the ends of thread un
der the presser foot.
