5. ELECTRONIC NEEDLE CONTROL
Your machine is electronically controlled
to stop with the needle in the up position
every time you remove pressure from foot
control.
NEEDLE UP/DOWN SWITCH
If you wish the machine to stop with the
needle in the down position (as in turning
a corner), push the left switch. A red light
will appear showing you that the machine
is so set. To return to the Needle Up
position push the left switch again and
when the light disappears, machine is
again set to stop with the needle in an up
position each time.
BASTING SWITCH
Tap the foot control with the right switch
pushed and lighted and the machine will
take one stitch only and stop with needle
in the up position. This feature provides
an electronically controlled basting or
tacking to take the chore out of hand
basting.
6. MAXIMUM SPEED CONTROL
You may want to vary the speed of the
machine, sewing slowly in special tight
places or if you are a new seamstress.
This control can be moved to the left to
slow the sewing of the machine. To
increase to the maximum speed, slide the
control to the right.

7. ACCESSORY BOX
Accessory box is opened by lifting the lid
up and swinging it toward you as shown.
Inside you will find many of the acces­
sories that you use each time you sew.
The box may be fully removed from the
machine to convert it for free arm
stitching. See page 8.
