Make sure you select a pattern for the side cut-
ter.

Clean the side cutter after use, to avoid having
dust and scraps of thread build up on it.

*

Add a small amount of oil as required to the
cutting edge of the cutter.

Note

The fabric will not be cut if the whole fabric is
simply spread out underneath the presser foot
guide plate. Set the fabric as explained in step
8, and then start sewing.

–

Check that the needle is raised when the presser
foot lever is raised.
