Troubleshooting Tips
Always turn the handwheel towards you
• Counterclockwise.
No Power
• Check main power supply is turned on, foot
control is connected.
Machine Not Feeding Fabric
• Check that the Feed Dogs are raised and clean.
These are the teeth under the presser foot that
feed the fabric when stitching. When the drop
feed lever is moved from the lowered position
to the raised position the feed teeth do not
come up at the needle plate until you turn the
handwheel wheel towards you.
• Check that the stitch length is set for correct
weight of fabric.
Skipped / Bad Stitching
• Rethread the machine with the presser foot
raised and the take up lever in the highest
position. Follow the threading guides and check
that the thread is in the take up lever.
• Check that the needle is inserted correctly, fl at
side to the back.
• Check that the needle is not bent or blunt and is
the correct type of needle.
• Check that the tension setting is correct
(average setting for a straight stitch is
approx. 4).
• Check that the tension disc area is clean.
• Check that the bobbin is placed in the bobbin
case correctly.
