Electronics/Safety/Needle stop
Your Bernina overlocker is equipped with electronic operating
and safety features.
Micro-safety switch:
When the looper cover is open, the electricity supply to the
motor is automatically interrupted. The machine will not sew
but the light remains on for threading etc.
Needle stop:
The Needle stop for overlock stitches (positions A to E) is
generally up, i.e. when you stop sewing, the needle(s) will
stop in their highest position, the ideal position for threading
or changing needles. To lower the needle(s), press the Needle
stop button (3).
The Needle stop for cover and chain stitch (positions F/G/H) is
generally down, i.e. cover and chain stitch formations end
with the needle in the fabric.
Safety control lamp:
The machine will not sew if it has not been prepared
correctly. When the foot control is depressed, the safety
control lamp will light up (4).
The control lamp also lights up when the presser foot is
raised, when the presser foot is swung out or the looper
cover is open.
Safety cut-out
If overheating should occur, the motor will cut-out after
2 seconds, after cooling down, sewing can be continued.
Note:
If you turn the stitch selection dial while sewing, the
control lamp will blink and the machine will stop.
