Using the Foot Controller

You can also use the foot controller to start and stop 
sewing.

Memo

• When the foot controller is being used, you 

cannot start sewing by pressing the “Start/
Stop” button.

 CAUTION

• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button after 

the threads have been cut. Doing so could 
tangle the thread or break the needle and 
damage the machine.

• Do not press the “Thread Cutter” button when 

there is no fabric set in the machine or during 
machine operation. The thread may tangle, 
possibly resulting in damage. 

Note

• When cutting thread thicker than #30, nylon 

monofilament thread, or other decorative 
threads, use the thread cutter on the side of 
the machine.

Memo

• This machine is equipped with a bobbin 

thread sensor that warns you when the bob-
bin thread is almost empty. When the bobbin 
thread is nearly empty, the machine auto-
matically stops. However, if the “Start/Stop” 
button is pressed, a few stitches can be 
sewn. When the warning displays, re-thread 
the machine immediately.

 CAUTION

• Do not allow fabric pieces and dust to collect 

in the foot controller. Doing so could cause a 
fire or an electric shock.

Memo

• When the foot controller is being used, you 

cannot start sewing by pressing the “Start/
Stop” button.

• The foot controller cannot be used when 

embroidering.

• The foot controller can be used for sewing 

utility and decorative stitches when the 
embroidery unit is attached.
