1. Power On: Turn on your sewing machine or serger using its main power switch.
2. Foot Placement: Place your foot comfortably on the pedal.
3. Speed Control: Apply gentle pressure to the pedal to start the machine at a slow speed. Increase pressure to increase the machine's speed. Release pressure to slow down or stop the machine.
4. Practice: If you are new to using a foot pedal, practice controlling the speed without fabric to get a feel for the responsiveness of the pedal.
5. Consistent Pressure: For smooth stitching, try to maintain consistent pressure on the pedal.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life of your foot control pedal:

• Cleaning: Wipe the pedal surface with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
