Preparations

Connecting the foot control and the 

power supply

Foot control to use with this machine:
Type 4C-345B22 for USA/Canada
Type 4C-345G22 for Europe
Type 4C-345G25 for UK
Type 4C-345G23 for Australia

Before plugging your machine in, make sure the voltage 

is the same as indicated on the plate under the machine. 

Specifi cations vary from country to country.

•  Connect the foot control/electric power cord to the 

socket on the machine.

•  Plug the power cord plug into the electric outlet.
•  Push the power switch to “1” to turn on the machine.
•  Press the foot control to start sewing. Use the foot 

control to adjust the sewing speed. The harder you 

press, the faster the machine will sew. 

  On the right side of the foot control is a speed control 

slide (A) for selecting full or half maximum speed. If 

you press the foot control to the bottom, the machine 

runs at the maximum speed set by the speed control 

slide. To stop the machine from sewing, remove your 

foot from the control.

Note: Your machine is adjusted to provide the best stitch result 

at normal room temperature. Extreme hot and cold temperatures 

can affect the sewn result.
•  Push the power switch to “0” to turn off the machine.
Note: When the front cover is open the safety switch is activated 

and prevents the machine from sewing, even if the foot control is 

pressed.

Setting up the spool stand

Insert the spool stand then push to right as illustrated.

Setting up the telescopic thread stand

Extend the telescopic thread stand to its full height, then 

turn until it clicks into place. Place the thread spools over 

the cone holders on the spool pin. 
If the machine is already threaded, straighten the threads 

to prevent tangling.

POLARIZED PLUG INFORMATION

(FOR U.S.A. & CANADA ONLY)
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider 

than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, 

this plug is intended to fi t in a polarized outlet only 

way.  If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse 

the plug.  If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed 

electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify 

the plug in any way.
