Placing and removing the fabric - sewing process
By pressing the left hand treadle the cloth support arm is lifted.
Place material under the needle plate and leave the left hand treadle. The
machine starts sewing by operating the right hand treadle.
The machine runs at maximum speed when the right hand treadle is
completely pressed down (see “4.9 Motor”).

equipped with pneumatic lifting. Place the fabric under the needle plate
while the cloth support arm is lifted and close the arm by slightly pressing
the treadle (+1).
The machine is now ready to sew.
If the fabric is not placed correctly, the cloth support arm can be lifted
again by heeling the treadle back into its initial position. At the end of the
sewing process the thread trimmer (optional extra) is operated and the
cloth support arm is lifted by heeling the treadle (-1).
