Function switches
In addition to the setting possibilities described earlier
the machine also has a switch for reducing the speed and
one for setting the needle stop-right position.
Limiting the speed (1)
When sewing with the inner part of the switch de­
pressed you can regulate the speed of the machine up to
the highest speed. If you push the outer part of the switch
down and carefully press the foot control, the machine
will initially make a short pause between each stitch.
This will give you time to check that you are sewing
exactly where you want to. This is a great help for
precision sewing and when you wish to move the fabric
by hand, e.g. when basting. Remember to lower the feed
dog when basting. When you press the foot control
again, the machine will sew at an even and slow speed.
You have full needle power the whole time. With the
foot control completely depressed, the speed will be
approximately half of the maximum speed.
Needle position switch (2)
With this switch you can choose the position at which
the needle should stop. When the iimer part of the switch
is depressed, the needle will stop at its upper position for
use when removing the fabric at the end of a seam. When
the outer part of the switch is depressed, the needle will
stop in the fabric, and hold it securely for pivoting (lifting
the presser foot and turning the fabric to sew aroimd a
corner).
When the switch is in the intermediate position the
needle will stop at any position. You can then turn the
handwheel until the needle is in the position you require.
