With Foot Treadle
Become acquainted with your treadle. First, hold hand
wheel from turning, then loosen the handwheel knot as
shown.
Place both feet on treadle. Turn hand wheel over
toward you and allow your feet to move freely and
lightly, following the motion of the treadle. Practice this
motion until you are able, with your feet alone, to re-
start the machine with the hand wheel turning toward
you and maintain a steady speed.
When you have become accustomed to the treadle
motion, tighten the hand wheel knob by turning it away
from you. Place a piece of material under the presser
foot and lower the presser foot lifter. Now operate the
machine (without thread) until you become accus-
tomed to guiding the material.
