Error messages
If the “Start/Stop” button is pressed before the machine is correctly set up or if an operation is performed incorrectly, an error
message appears in the LCD. Follow the instructions that appear. The message will disappear if or is pressed while the
message is displayed.
Error Messages Cause Solution
1 This message is displayed when a button, such as
the “Start/Stop” button, was pressed while the
presser foot was raised.
Lower the presser foot lever before continuing the
operation.
2 This message is displayed when the buttonhole lever
is down, a stitch other than a buttonhole is selected,
and a button, such as the “Start/Stop” button, is
pressed.

operation.
3 This message is displayed when the buttonhole lever
is up, a buttonhole stitch is selected, and a button,
such as the “Start/Stop” button, is pressed.
Lower the buttonhole lever before continuing the
operation.
4 This message is displayed when a button, such as
the Reverse/reinforcement stitch button, was

button was pressed while the foot controller was
connected.
Disconnect the foot controller, and then press the
“Start/Stop” button. Otherwise, operate the machine
by using the foot controller.
6 The motor locked up because the thread became
tangled, or the needle bent and thus hit the needle
plate.
Clean the race to remove the tangled thread (refer to
page A-2).
Check the needle. If the needle is bent or broken,
replace the needle. For details, refer to “Checking the
needle” and “Replacing the needle” in the “Basic
operations” section.
If both of the above fail, refer to “Error message
“E06” appears in the LCD” on page A-13.

the “Start/Stop” button, was pressed after a stitch

controller is set to control the zigzag stitch width,
and the “Start/Stop” button is pressed.

stitching using the sewing speed controller” in the
“Sewing” section.
