Using the thread cutter
To use the thread cutter:
1. Press the pedal to position -2 (3).
The thread can be cut both with the machine running and with 
the machine at a standstill.
Important
If set incorrectly, the thread cutter may prevent a proper sewing 
start after the thread has been cut.
If a proper sewing start following the cutting of the thread is not 
possible, check the following:
• Check and, if necessary, readjust the thread tension
• Activate soft start (see  Instructions for use DAC basic/classic)
• Increase the number of stitches during soft start 
(see  Instructions for use DAC basic/classic)
• Increase the length of the needle thread end by setting the 
pre-tensioner (5).
When the machine is at its upper automatic position, the 
length of the needle thread end should be 60-80 mm.
The longer the needle thread end is, the less likely is the 
occurrence of skipped stitches.
Information
The shorter the needle thread is, the more likely the machine is 
not to start sewing.
Activating or deactivating the thread cutter

1. Press the button for the thread cutter on the OP1000.
 When the thread cutter is activated, the LED on the OP1000 
will be on.
When the thread cutter is deactivated, the LED on the OP1000 
will be off.
