Knee-Lift Your machine comes with an electronic knee-lifter that allows you to lift the presserfoot with your knee. The knee-lifter is very helpful when sewing, since it allows you to handle the fabric with your hands while your knee lifts the presser foot to the desired height. Match the ribs on your knee-lifter with the notches in the knee-lifter socket. Adjust the rectangular bar on the knee-lift until it is positioned at a comfortable height for you (A). Move your knee lifter with your knee, and the presser foot will raise. You can raise the presser foot to three positions with your knee-lifter; pivot height, up, and extra lift position. When moving the presser foot to the A extra lift position, the machine drops the feed teeth, allowing you to easily place thick fabrics underneath the presserfoot. The feed teeth will raise automatically when you start to sew. To remove the knee-lift, just pull it straight out of the hole. Speed Control Lever The speed control lever sets the maximum sewing speed. To increase sewing speed, slide the lever up, to decrease sewing speed, slide the lever down. A pop-up appears on screen when adjusting the slider, indicating which speed level is set. The speed setting is also shown in the information area. Thread Sensor If the needle thread breaks or bobbin thread is running low, the machine stops and a pop-up appears on the screen. If needle thread breaks: Remove the thread completely, re-thread the machine and touch OK in the pop-up. If bobbin thread is running low: You can continue sewing without closing the pop-up before the bobbin thread runs out completely. This gives you an opportunity to plan where to stop and change the bobbin. When the bobbin is replaced with a full one, touch OK in the pop-up. Preparations 24
