#. FOR THE OPERATOR

1. Operating procedure of the sewing machine
1) Press ON button 1 of the power switch to turn ON
the power.
(Caution) If the backlight of the operation panel
does not light up after the power switch
is turned ON, immediately turn the power
OFF and check the voltage. In addition,
in such a case as this, re-turn ON the
power switch when 2 to 3 minutes or
more have passed after turning OFF the
power switch.
2) When the needle bar is not in UP position, it automatically turns to the UP position.
(Caution) When turning ON the power for the first

time, there is the case where the timing is slightly retarded to perform the
initialization work. When turning ON the
power, the needle bar moves. Do not put
your hands or things under the needle.
3) The pedal is operated in the following four steps:
a. The machine runs at low sewing speed when you
lightly depress the front part of the pedal. 3
b. The machine runs at high sewing speed when you
further depress the front part of the pedal. 3

(If the automatic reverse feed stitching has been
4
3
preset, the machine runs at high speed after it completes reverse feed stitching.)
c. The machine stops (with its needle up or down)
when you reset the pedal to its original position.
d. The machine trims threads when you fully depress
the back part of the pedal. 5
* When the auto-lifer (AK device) is used, one more operating switch is provided between the sewing
machine stop switch and thread trimming switch. The presser foot goes up when you lightly depress the
back part of the pedal 4, and if you further depress the back part 5, the thread trimmer is actuated.
When starting sewing from the state that the presser foot has been lifted with the Auto-lifter and you
depress the back part of the pedal, the presser foot only comes down.
If you reset the pedal to its neutral position during the automatic reverse feed stitching at seam start, the
machine stops after it completes the reverse feed stitching.
The machine will perform normal thread trimming even if you depress the back part of the pedal immediately following high or low speed sewing.
The machine will completely perform thread trimming even if you reset the pedal to its neutral position
immediately after the machine started thread trimming action.
