2. Foot Pedal Connection
For hands-free speed control, connect the foot pedal to the Foot Pedal Port on the machine.
3. Attaching the Extension Table

4. Threading the Machine
The machine comes pre-threaded from the factory for testing purposes. If re-threading is needed, follow the numbered threading path indicated on the machine. Incorrect threading is a common cause of issues.

5. Needle Installation
When installing a new needle, ensure the flat side of the needle faces the right side of the machine (throat plate) and the thread passes through the needle from left to right.
6. Bobbin Installation
Insert the bobbin into its compartment, ensuring the thread pulls out in a clockwise direction. Incorrect bobbin installation can lead to stitching problems.
Operating Instructions
1. Selecting Speed
Use the speed button on the machine to switch between "high" and "slow" speeds. The slow speed is recommended for beginners or intricate work.
2. Starting and Stopping

Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Regularly clean lint and dust from the bobbin area and under the needle plate using a small brush. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
