① Selection of the soft-start function (Function setting No. 1)

The needle thread may fail to interlace with the bobbin thread at the start of sewing when the stitching

pitch (stitch length) is small or a thick needle is used. To solve such problem, this function (called “soft-

start”) is used to limit the sewing speed, thereby assuring successful formation of the starting stitches.

* This setting is enabled when the thread clamp function is in the OFF state.

0 : The function is not selected.

1 to 9 : The number of stitches to be sewn under the soft-start mode.

The sewing speed limited by the soft-start function can be changed. (Function setting No. 37)

Data setting range : 100 to MAX. sti/min <10 sti/min>

(The MAX. value differs by machine head.)

② Flicker reducing function (Function setting No. 5)

The function reduces ickering of the hand lamp at the start of sewing.

0 : Flicker reducing function is ineffective
