Cruise
If “Cruise” mode is selected, when you press “Start”
on the handles the machine will immediately begin
stitching at the percent speed indicated below the
“Cruise” button. The “Cruise” speed is the minimum
speed the machine will stitch, regardless of how
slow you are pushing the machine. This means
that when you slow down to a stop, the needle will
continue stitching at the set cruise speed until you
begin moving the machine faster than what the
cruise speed is set to or you press the “Stop” button
on the handles. The “Cruise” speed can be adjusted
using the “+” and “-“ buttons that appear below the
“Cruise” button when “Cruise” mode is selected.
“Cruise” speed can be adjusted between 3% and 50%.
(Figure 32)
The start indicator box, which is the box at the top
center of the screen, will change from red to green as
soon as you press the “Start” button on the handles.
If you are in “Precision” mode, the needle will not
start moving until you start moving the machine, so
this green indicator shows that the “Start” command
was accepted and the machine is ready to begin
stitching. In “Cruise” mode, the red box will turn to
green and the needle will begin stitching immediately
at the set “Cruise” speed.
On/Off Indicator
If the machine does not sense that it has been
moved in any direction after it has been started,
it will automatically stop regulation mode and the
start indicator box will turn red. When in “Precision”
mode, this happens when no movement of the
machine has been detected for two minutes. A
system message will appear on the screen to warn
the user the machine has stopped. This box is cleared
by pressing the “OK” button. In “Cruise” mode, the
machine will stop stitching after about three seconds
if no movement has occurred.
For information on other buttons on this screen,
please refer back to the Manual Mode screen.
