Have take-up lever at its highest point before starting to sew. Do not try to help the feeding by pulling the material as

this may deflect the needle and cause it to break.

NEVER RUN MACHINE WITHOUT MATERIAL UNDER PRESSER FOOT.

Place material and threads in position under the presser foot and lower the presser foot. You are now ready to begin sew

ing. By having the needle at its highest point, it is not necessary to touch the balance wheel to start the machine. You merely

press the control. The speed of the machine is regulated by increasing or decreasing the amount of pressure exerted on the
control.
