TO REGULATE PRESSURE ON THE MATERIAL

The pressure on the material is regulated by knurled

thumb nut O, Fig. 31. To increase the pressure, tighten

the thumb nut. To reduce the pressure, loosen the

thumb nut.

Heavier pressure is required for leather work than

for sewing cloth or cotton materials. The pressure

should be only heavy enough to enable the feed to

move the work along evenly.

Fig. 31. Regulating Pressure on Material

TO TURN A CORNER

Stop the machine with the needle in the work and

turn top of hand wheel over toward you until the

feeding foot rises. Then turn the work as desired,

using the needle as a pivot.

NOTE: If h and wheel is located on front of machine,

turn top of hand wheel over to the right.

TO CHANGE DIRECTION OF THE FEED

While stitching, the work is moved along by the

action of the feeding foot only.

The direction of the stitching can be changed as

desired by turning the foot around by means of the

two handles E, Fig. 32.

Fig. 33. Changing Feed Direction

TO CHANGE THE NEEDLE PLATE

1. Raise the needle bar to its highest position.

2. Loosen screw Q, Fig. 33 and, by lifting upward,

remove needle plate and hinge pin P.

3. When replacing the needle plate, place flat side

of pin P toward screw Q.

4. Tighten screw Q on flat side of pin P.

TO REGULATE THE AUTOMATIC LIFT

OF THE FEEDING FOOT

While the machine is in operation, the feeding foot

rises after it has moved the work forward; then the

foot moves toward the needle and descends again

upon the fabric. It is advisable that the lift of the foot

should be only sufficient to clear the thickest part of

the work.

To adjust the lift, raise the feeding foot by means of

lifter B, Fig. 31. To increase the feeding foot lift, loosen

wing screw N and move the screw toward you. To

reduce the lift, move the screw away from you. When

the desired height of lift is obtained, tighten the wing

screw.
