To start sewing
CAUTION
Do not leave straight pins in the fabric when
sewing as they will damage the needles and the
knives.
1. Thread the machine and pull all threads out
about 15 cm (6 inches) behind the presser
foot.
2. Lift the presser foot and place the material well
underneath the presser foot before starting
to sew. Lower the presser foot, and then turn
the handwheel toward you to slowly sew a few
stitches.
3. The fabric will be fed automatically. You need
only guide it in the required direction.
4. Check the stitch formation (stitch chain) to
see if it is uniform. If the stitch is not uniform,
re-check that the threading has been done
properly and in sequence.
5. Follow the seam allowance guide for consistent
cutting of the fabric seams. The scale of seam
allowance guide shows 9.5, 12.7, 15.9, and
25.4 mm (3/8, 1/2, 5/8, and 1 inch) when the
stitch width adjustment dial is set to "5".

To remove work
When the seam is finished, keep the machine
running at a low speed to obtain chaining-off. Then
cut the stitches about 5 cm (2 inches) from the
work. If feeding for chaining-off is not enough, pull
the threads gently.
To secure chains
There are two methods available to secure the
chains.
Method 1
Secure the chains of the beginning and the end of
a stitch with your machine.
At the beginning of a stitch
1. Sew a few stitches, after chaining-off for about
5 cm (2 inches).
2. Stop the machine and raise the presser foot.
3. Put the chains under the presser foot, and
serge over it pulling toward you.
4. After sewing a few stitches, cut off the extra
chain with the upper knife as illustrated.
At the end of a stitch
1. At the end of the seam, sew one stitch out of
the fabric before stopping the machine.
