When you press the foot controller down lightly, the 
machine will run at a low speed. When you press 
harder, the machine’s speed will increase. When you 
take your foot off the foot controller, the machine 
will stop. 

You should make sure that nothing is placed on the 
foot controller when the machine is not in use.

Note

● When the foot controller is plugged in, the

stop sewing (only for models equipped with 
the start/stop button).

to turn off the sewing machine in order to
