Note
●
If the sewing machine is to be operated
using the foot controller, connect the foot
controller before turning on the machine.
●
When the foot controller is plugged in, the
start/stop button cannot be used to start or
stop sewing (only for models equipped with
the start/stop button).

When the bobbin begins spinning slowly, take
your foot off the foot controller or press
(start/stop button) (for models equipped with

Be sure to cut the thread as described. If the bobbin is
wound without cutting the thread using the cutter built
into the slit in the bobbin winder seat, the thread may
become tangled in the bobbin or the needle may bend
or break when the bobbin thread starts to run out.
CAUTION
●
Not winding the bobbin properly may cause the
thread tension to loosen, and may break the needle.
