CAUTION
• When using zipper foot “I”, make sure the straight
stitch, middle needle position is selected. Turn the
handwheel to make sure the needle does not strike
the presser foot. If another stitch is selected, the
needle will strike the presser foot, causing the needle
to break and possibly causing injury.
CAUTION
• Make sure the needle does not strike the zipper
during sewing. If the needle strikes the zipper, the
needle may break, leading to injury.
