Make
sure
stop

knob
b
is
tightened before
you
begin sewing
(clockwise
as indicated
by
white
arrow).
If
you
want
to
turn
balance
wheel
a
by
hand
(although normally
there
is
no
need
to
do
so),
alwoys
turn
it
toward
you
(counier.clockwise
as
shown
by
black
arrow).
Never
run
a
threaded
machine
unless
you
have
fabric under
the
presser
foot.
The
machine
will
feed
the
material
under
the
sewing
foot
automatically.
All
you
have
to
do
is
guide
the work.
Never
try
to
hasten
feeding
by
pushing
or
pulling
the
fabric
while
stitching
because
the
needle
may bend
or
break.
Before
you
begin
and
after
you
have
completed
a
seam,
always
operate
the
Stopmatic
lever
to
raise
the
take-up
lever
to
a
position
about
5/35
below
the
top
of
its
stroke
(see
ill.).
When
in
this
position,
the
needle
can
be
threaded
with
the
needle
threader,
or
the
work
be removed
from
the
machine.
The
Stopmcttic
Push
the
raised
presser
bar
lifter
toward
the
machine
as
far
as
it
will
go
--
and
the
motor
will
automatically
lift
the
take-up
lever
and
the
needle
to
the
positions
re
quired
for
threading
the
needle
and
re
moving
the
work.
(Don’t
forget
to
plug
in
the
machine,
though.)
Whenever
you
have
to
raise
the
needle,
operate
the Stopmatic
lever.

Each

be
sewn
in
different
lengths.

without
changing
the
stitch
length.
The
pattern

is
controlled
by
lever
E,
which
has
seven
graduations
--
four
numbered
(1,
3,
5
and

and
three

is
obtained
by
