KNOWING YOUR SEWING MACHINE Main Power and Sewing Light Switch This switch turns the main power and sewing light on or off. Checking the Needle The sewing needle must always be straight and sharp for smooth sewing. ■ Checking the Needle Correctly 1 Put the flat side of the needle on a flat surface. 2 Check the needle from the top and the sides. Dispose of any bent needles safely. 1 Turn on (toward the 'I' mark) 2 Turn off (toward the 'O' mark) Foot Controller When you press the foot controller down lightly, the machine will run at a low speed. When you press harder, the machine's speed will increase. When you take your foot off the foot controller, the machine will stop. You should make sure that nothing is placed on the foot controller when the machine is not in use. 1 1 Foot controller CAUTION ● Do not allow pieces of cloth and dust to build up on the foot controller.
