SPEED OF MACHINE The maximum speed recommended for this machine is 900 RPM or “stitches per minute”. Use regular house-hold circuit 115 Volts, 60 HZ. The machine is equipped with a one tenth (1/10) HP motor with reduction pulley to provide good power at the recom- mended speed.

PREPARE FOR SEWING Thread the machine. Then pick up the bobbin thread as follows: While holding the loose end of the needle thread in your left hand, turn the balance wheel toward you by hand until the needle moves down and up again to its highest point.

TO REMOVE THE HOOK AND CLEAN THE RACE DO NOT FORCE ANY OF THESE OPERATIONS Turn the balance wheel by hand until the needle is at its highest point. Remove the bobbin and bobbin case. Turn knob (A) one half turn toward you. Turn knob (B) one half turn away from you.
