3. PREPARATION FOR SEW!NG 3-1. Connecting Power Cord Connect foot control and power cord ® Before plugging in your machine, be sure that the voltage is same as that of your machine. (written on a plate at back of machrne). * Specifications vary from country to country. 1/ Press the switch on the machine to turn on the power and the sewing light. OFF ON * Always switch off or unplug machine when not in use. ij The more you press the foot control, the faster the machine runs.
3-2. Setting Telescopic Thread Stand Extend the telescopic thread stand to its full height, then turn it until the shaft clicks into its locked position. I 3-3. Changing Threads Cut thread The machine is supplied with thread but the follow ing is an easy way to change them: (1) Cut the thread in use near the cone spool (behind the telescopic thread stand). Place the new thread on the spindle and tie it to the end of the original thread. 3 (2) Raise the presser foot lifter to lift up the presser foot.
Cover the spool with the “NET” as needed to prevent thread from slipping down on thread cones. I When using a standard type thread spool, insert the spool adapter (supplied with the machine) (as shown). I 3-4. Replacing Needle Left Needle Replace needle in the following way: Note: be sure to take out the power supply plug before replacing needle. (1) Bring needle to its highest position by turning handwheel towards you. (2) When replacing right needle, loosen right needle clamp screw and remove needle.

4. FOUR THREAD OVERLOCK STITCH USING 2 NEEDLES 4-1. Before Sewing After threading is completed, and when the threads are not wound around the stitch finger, gently draw out the four threads under and behind the presser foot, and turn the handw heel towards you by hand two or three times to make stitch form on the stitch finger. 7 4-2. Setting the Fabric When beginning to sew, place the material just ahead of the presser foot and it will be fed through. There is no need to raise the presser foot lifter.

5. ADJUSTING BALANCE OF STITCH WIDTH AND CUTTING WIDTH Adjust the cutting width from 5.2(0.2”) to 7.0mm (0.28”) according to the kind of material. The standard cutting width is 5.5mm (0.21”). Open the front cover to adjust the cutting width. (1) If the cutting width is narrower than the stitch width, leaving loops off the fabric edge, turn the cutting width adjusting dial to the direction of arrow.
7. DFFERENTAL FEED Differential feed prevents stretching or puckering fabrics, since two independent feed dogs, one in front and one behind the needles, can be adjusted to feed at different ratio. p This function produces a neat finish of overlock for stretchable and lightweight fabrics. + “N” indicates the normal position.

9. SEWING FOR CURVED SEAMS For a neat and clean finish of curved seams: For inside curves, guide the fabric gently with the trimming line of the fabric under the right front of the presser foot, applying pressure to the fabric with your left hand, at the same time, apply a little pressure in the opposite direction with your right hand to hold it against the cutter as shown. For outside curves, apply pressure in the opposite directions of the above.
