If the feed dog has been replaced by one that does not match the feed amount that is currently being used, the feed dog may
touch the needle plate if the stitch length dial or condense dial are mistakenly set to settings that are larger than the maximum

In order to prevent dial setting errors such as this, change the maximum feed amount setting for the sewing machine to match
the maximum feed amount for the feed dog.
1. Tilt back the machine head.

loosen the two screws (1)
so that the quick reverse
