Important Safety Information

CAUTION: Before commencing sewing, it is crucial to turn the handwheel slowly towards you (counterclockwise) to ensure the needle does not make contact with the presser foot sole. Always use a screwdriver to securely tighten the screw that fastens the presser foot. Failure to do so may result in the needle breaking and causing personal injury.

Section A: Preparation and Attachment

Follow these steps to prepare your machine and attach the new foot:

1. Turn off the sewing machine. [Refer to machine manual]
2. Raise the needle and the presser foot to their highest positions. [Refer to machine manual]
3. Remove the existing presser foot, its retaining screw, and the presser foot holder.
   (Diagram A-1 illustrates the removal of the old presser foot assembly.)
4. Attach the adjustable zipper/piping foot.
   (Diagram A-2 shows the correct attachment of the new foot.)

[Please consult your sewing machine's Operation Manual for specific instructions related to these steps.]

Section B: Adjusting the Presser Foot

To ensure optimal sewing, adjust the presser foot position while monitoring the needle's path.

1. Loosen the screw located at the rear of the presser foot.
2. Slide the presser foot along the feed dog, positioning it over either the left or right feed dog.
   (Diagram B provides visual guidance on sliding the foot over the feed dogs for precise adjustment.)
3. Slowly rotate the handwheel towards you (counterclockwise) and carefully check that the needle does not touch the presser foot.
