preliminary steps
1. CONNECTING MACHINE
Before plugging in your machine, be sure that
the voltage and number of cycles indicated at
the right end of the machine or inside face
plate conform to your electrical power supply.
Push the machine plug into the machine recep­
tacle. Then connect the power-line plug to
your electrical outlet
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. It is best for long,
straight seams, easy-to-handle fabrics, and
general sewing where a variety of speeds
are needed.
• The SLOW setting allows for maximum con­
trol at lower sewing speeds. Use this setting
for special jobs such as button sewing, but­
tonhole making, and where intricate con­
struction details require close control.
CAUTION: We recommend that you turn off
the power and light switch before changing
needles, presser feet or needle plates and when
leaving the machine unattended. This elimi­
nates the possibility of starting the machine by
accidentally pressing the speed controller.
To run the machine, press the speed con­
troller. The harder you press, the faster the
machine will sew within the selected speed
range.
Very light pressure on the controller will oper­
ate the machine very slowly, enabling you to
stop the machine with the needle In any
desired position, up or down.
