INSERTINGANDREMOVINGTHEMATERIAL
For all kinds of sewing, consult chart page
5.
Before placing the material on the machine
see that:
* The presser foot and needle clamp screws
are both tight.
* The sizes of the needle and thread suit the
kind of work to be done.
* The needle and take-up lever are at their
highest position.
* The tensions have been properly adjusted.
*The ends of threads have been drawn
about 4 inches to the rear of the machine.
* The feed dogs are up.
* Stitch length and width controls are set at
desired settings.
Experiment by sewing on the fabric to be
used to determine tension adjustments and
correct stitch settings.
Place material under the presser foot, insert
the needle into the material by turning the
hand wheel toward you, lower presser foot
and start sewing. To facilitate placement of
heavy fabrics under the presser foot, the
presser foot lever can be raised beyond the
normal _'up" position.
To remove the work, first turn the hand
wheel toward you until the needle is at its
highest position, then raise the presser foot,
draw material to the rear and cut off excess
thread with the thread cutter located on the
presser bar.
IMPORTANT: Always turn the hand wheel
toward you ! When the machine is not being
used, place a piece of material over the feed
dog and lower the presser foot. Always
have fabric under the presser foot when
operating the machine. Operating threaded
machine without fabric will cause it to jam
by forcing thread into the shuttle. See pages
34 & 35.
