To reduce the stitch length:
• Turn the adjusting wheel clockwise.
To increase the stitch length:
• Turn the adjusting wheel counterclockwise.
You can select two different stitch lengths. The upper adjusting
wheel (1) is for the larger stitch length and the lower adjusting
wheel (2) is for the smaller stitch length.
The larger stitch length is switched on using the stitch length key
on the key pad (

Section 5.13 Keypad for quick functions ).
When the larger stitch length is active the stitch length button (4)
on the keypad on the machine arm lights up.
The larger stitch length must not be shorter than the smaller stitch
length. Always select the same or a higher stitch length at the
upper adjusting wheel (1) than at the lower adjusting wheel (2).
The stitch adjustment lever on the machine arm reduces the stitch
length down to sewing backwards in the lower end position.
Machine damage possible if the adjusting
wheels are turned using brute force.
The machine is designed in such a way that a
lower stitch length cannot be selected at the upper
adjusting wheel than at the lower adjusting wheel.
Do not attempt to use brute force to select a
smaller stitch length at the upper adjusting wheel.
