HOW TO USE THE PEDAL   

Pressing the pedal with toe (position A) starts the 
machine.  Releasing the pedal (position B) stops the 
needle at the top/bottom of its stroke (adjustable with 
the motor).  Pressing the pedal with heel (position C) 
raises the needle.  As soon as the needle stops at the 
top of its stroke by pressing the pedal with heel, the 
thread trimmer gets actuated (if the needle stops at the 
top of its stroke as adjusted, the thread trimmer gets 
actuated without pressing the pedal with heel). 
After the needle and looper threads are cut with the 
needle stopped at the top of its stroke, the looper 
thread is held by the clamp spring and the needle 
thread is moved up to the presser foot by the air wiper. 
Keep on pressing the pedal with heel to raise the presser foot. 
Then remove the fabric.  If you want to raise the presser foot while the machine stops, 
press the pedal with heel (position C).

ADJUSTING THE THREAD TRIMMER   

6-1 Position of the movable knife 

Adjust movable knife A so that the bottom of movable 
knife base D is flush with that of movable knife A. 
Adjustment is made by loosening two screws C. 
The point of the movable knife should be 0.6mm to the 
left of the center of the needle hole. 
With the movable knife retracted, front E of the needle 
plate support bracket should be almost aligned with 
front F of the movable knife base. 

6-2 Position of the stationary knife 

With the movable knife fully retracted, there should be 
a overlap of 0.3mm between stationary knife G and the 
movable knife.  Adjustment is made by loosening 
screw H. 

< Note > 

If the gauge width is large, the overlap of the stationary 

knife and the right m vable knife should be equal to that 

of the stationary knife and the left movable knife. 

o

To achieve this adjustment, check to see if the stationary 

knife is placed in a horizontal position.
