HOW TO ADJUST THE STITCH
LENGTH
.
The stitch length dial located on the right side of the
machine should be set at the 3 mm (1/8-inch) setting
for most sewing conditions.
.
When sewing heavy weight fabrics, adjust the stitch
length to 4 mm (5/32-inch).
.
Adjust the stitch length to 2 mm (5/64-inch) when
sewing light weight fabrics to obtain excellent seams
without puckering.
HOW TO ADJUST THE SEAM
WIDTH
.
An overedge seam width can be adjusted by
repositioning the needle position and also with the
width adjustment.
1. Adjusting the seam width by changing the needle
position:
a) When only left needle is used ............... 5.7 mm
(7/32 inch)
b) When only right needle is used ............. 3.5 mm
(9/64 inch)
2. Adjusting the seam width with the adjustment knob:
a) When only left needle is used ........ 3.5 to 5.7 mm
(13/64 to 17/64 inch)
b) When only right needle is used ..... 3.0 to 4.5 mm
(1/8 to 11/64 inch)
3. Using the width adjustment knob:
Caution: Be sure to turn the power switch to the “Off”
position before making any adjustments to the machine.
a) Remove the waste container.
Note: Opening the front cover will make it easier to make
any adjustments.
b) Push the upper knife to the right and while holding
the knife in this position, turn the adjustment knob
left or right to get the desired width using the
graduation on the needle plate as a guideline.
Note: Placement of the upper knife in non-working
position will make adjustment easier.
Caution: Always close the front cover before operating
the machine.
