2, OPERATING MACHINE AND
CONTROLLER
To turn on both the machine and sewing light
and set speed range, slide the power and light
switch to the selected range.
♦ The FAST setting allows for full speed ca­
pacity of the machine, ft is best for long,
straight seams, easy-to-handle fabrics, and
general sewing where a variety of speeds
is needed.
♦ The SLOW setting allows for maximum con­
trol at lower sewing speeds. Use this setting
for special jobs such as button sewing,
buttonhole mtaking, and where construction
details require close control.
CAUTION: We recommend that you turn off
the power and light switch before changing
needles, presser feet or throat plates and v/hen
leaving the machine unattended. This elimh
nates the possibility of starting the machine by
accidentally pressing the speed controller.
To run the machine, press the speed controller
(or knee lever). The harder you press, the
faster the machine will sew within the selected
speed range.
