6. USING THE OPERATION PANEL (BASIC OPERATIONS)

6-2-7. Setting end backtacking (8560A, 855A-A31 only)

After the treadle has been depressed backward, you can sew a set number of stitches to create end backtack stitches.

When the treadle is depressed, the sttiches are sewn at the length that has been set using

the stitch length dial (1).

When the treadle is depressed backward, end backtacking is carried out and then the

sewing machine stops in the needle up position.

(The sewing machine operates at a speed of 1,200 rpm when sewing end backtack

stitches.)

(For the 8560A, thread trimming is carried out automatically and then the sewing machine

stops in the needle up position.)

NOTE:

• If the treadle is depressed backward before sewing the number of start backtack

stitches is complete, end backtacking will not be carried out.

• If the indicator of the thread trimming lock key is illuminated, the sewing machine will

stop in the needle up position without thread trimming being carried out (for the

8560A).

The condition changes as shown below each time the end backtack key e is pressed.

The stitch length for section C is adjusted by means o

the condense dial (2), and the stitch length for section

D is adjusted by means of the stitch length dial (1).

set to a "-" (minus) value>
