Manual Thread Cutter

There are three manual thread cutters on your machine.
The first one (A) is close to the bobbin winder spindle for
cutting the thread before and after winding.
The second one (B) is on the left side of the machine for
manually cutting top and bobbin thread. Pull both threads
into the cutter from the back to the front and pull down
quickly.
The third one (C) is next to the bobbin area for cutting the
bobbin thread after placing the bobbin in the machine.

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.

Speed Control Slider

The speed control slider sets the maximum sewing speed. To
increase sewing speed, slide the slider to the right, to decrease
sewing speed, slide the lever to the left.
A pop-up appears on screen when adjusting the slider,
indicating which speed level is set. The speed setting is also
shown on your screen.

Telescopic Thread Guide

The telescopic thread guide is always used when threading
your machine for sewing/embroidery and bobbin winding.
The telescopic thread guide helps straighten the thread,
preventing it from tangling or breaking. The thread guide
together with the vertical spool pins make it possible to
successfully use even very large thread cones.
Extending and Retracting the Telescopic Thread Guide
Hold the telescopic thread guide by the markings as
illustrated and pull it straight up until it clicks into place.
To retract, hold the thread guide by the markings and push it
straight down.
