How to use

Set the machine on a stable surface and connect to mains power.

Place fabric under the presser foot, lower the presser foot, and begin sewing at a moderate speed, guiding the fabric gently without pulling. Adjust stitch length where available for seam strength or decorative effect. For hems and repairs, use appropriate presser foot pressure and fabric support to maintain even stitching.

Usage recommendations

Use light to medium-weight fabrics for best results; test stitch settings on a scrap of the same material before sewing the final piece. Regularly clean lint from the bobbin area and oil moving parts as described in the manual to maintain smooth operation. For thicker fabrics, use a suitable needle type and slow machine speed to avoid strain.
