Tighten the thumbscrew firmly.

4.  Press “Init” key to initialize the settings. Press “Adjust” key   

 

to lower the foot. 

 

There should be no gap between the foot and needle plate,  

 

but no pressure applied to the needle plate. Check it by    

 

tapping the toe of the foot with fingertip as shown. 

5.  If there is a gap, press “+” key to lower the foot until the foot

Do not press “–” at the end of this adjustment.

*  The value of “Adjust Step” should be within the range of    
 

970 to 1030. If the value is far out of the range, check

7.  Turn the power itch ON again to enter the ordinary

“Auto-5”. Press the presser foot button to lower the presser  

 

foot. Be sure that there is a clearance between the presser
