Cruise
If “Cruise” mode is selected, when you press “Start” on
the handles the machine will immediately begin stitching
at the percent speed indicated below the “Cruise”
button. The “Cruise” speed is the minimum speed the
machine will stitch, regardless of how slow you are
pushing the machine. This means that when you slow
down to a stop, the needle will continue stitching at the
set cruise speed until you begin moving the machine
faster than what the cruise speed is set to or you press
the “Stop” button on the handles. The “Cruise” speed
can be adjusted using the “+” and “-” buttons that
appear below the “Cruise” button when “Cruise” mode
is selected. “Cruise” speed can be adjusted between 3%
and 50%. (Figure 32)
The start indicator box (Figure 33), which is the box at
the top center of the screen, will change from red to
green as soon as you press the “Start” button on the
handles. If you are in “Precision” mode, the needle will
not start moving until you start moving the machine, so
this green indicator shows that the “Start” command was
accepted and the machine is ready to begin stitching.
In “Cruise” mode, the red box will turn to green and
the needle will begin stitching immediately at the set
“Cruise” speed.
On/Off Indicator
If the machine does not sense that it has been moved
in any direction after it has been started, it will
automatically stop regulation mode and the start
indicator box will turn red. When in “Precision” mode,
this happens when no movement of the machine has
been detected for two minutes. A system message will
appear on the screen to warn the user the machine
has stopped. This box is cleared by pressing the “OK”
button. In “Cruise” mode, the machine will stop stitching
after about three seconds if no movement has occurred.
