2 GETTING READY TO SEW
2 – 1 Setting up your machine
After removing Styrofoam packing materials from the box, gently lift your Baby Lock serger by grasping
the handle provided on the top of the machine. Place on a serger sewing table or any level surface
providing ample work area to the left of the machine. Please protect fine furniture surface to avoid
scratches or stains.

Raise the telescopic thread guide to its highest
position. You will find that the shaft may be rotated
left and right. Continue raising the telescopic thread
guide until each section “clicks” into a locked
position. Place foot pedal under the sewing table
(may be held in place with an optional pedal stay).
•
First plug terminal into machine, then insert plug into wall outlet. The On/Off switch is located on the
lower right side of the machine. Make sure power is always off when machine is not in use.
Your machine is equipped with a two – step electronic foot control. This control will allow you to
control maximum speed at which you can sew depending on where the switch is set. When the
switch, located on the front of the controller, is set on HIGH, the machine will sew at maximum of
1,500 S.P.M. When the switch is set at LOW, the machine will sew at a maximum speed of about
800 S.P.M.

To open the front cover, place your thumb against
the tab, and slide the cover to the right. A slight pull
forward will allow the cover to swing down, providing
access to the loopers, knives, and thread guides.
The side cover is opened by gently pushing the front
of it to the left. It is hinged in back and will swing
open for easy cleaning.
