appearance like conventional
straight stitches on surfaceof fabric,
and chain effect on the back

MACHINE SETTING
1. Open the front cover and the side
cover. (See page 6.)
2. Manually turning the hand wheel
towards you, set lower thread
guide at its lowest point. Set the
stitch selector lever at its extreme
left-end position for double-chain
stitching.
3. Assemble the extension table
onto the machine.
PUTTING UP THE LEGS
Pushing up support links at the joint
with a finger, as illustrated, will turn
up the front legs and lock them in
position.
ASSEMBLING TO MACHINE BASE
Assemble the extension table with turned-up
legs, by pushing in the two studs on the rear
edge to the holes provided on machine base.
Attention: When assembling the extension
table to machine base, care must
be exercised to keep both upper
and lower looper threads un­
touched and free from any ob­
struction on thread paths.
Use the cloth guide to be attached to the
extension table.
The cloth guide helps feed the fabric straight,
or when sewing along at a fixed distance
from the fabric edge.
Graduations are marked on extension table
for guide reference.
Place the cloth guide at the desired positioti,
and secure it tightly onto the extension table
with thumb screw.
CHANGING SEWING DIRECTIONS WHILE
DOUBLE-CHAIN STITCHING
To change sewing directions while sewing
with double-chain stitches, stop the machine
with needle at its lowest position piercing
through the fabric, raise presser foot,
carefully turn around the fabric to the desired
direction, lower the foot, and start sewing in
the new direction.
SAFETY STITCHES
So-called safety stitches are formed in
combination of double-chain stitching and
overlooking, for the purpose of reinforcement
on seams.
Finish the double-chain stitching first, and
overlock the seam preferably 2 or 3 mm apart
from the double-chain stitching line.
