●Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may
result in fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine.
●Make sure that the plugs on the power cord are firmly inserted into the electrical outlet and
the power supply jack on the machine.
●Do not insert the plug on the power cord into an electrical outlet that is in poor condition.
●Turn off the main power and remove the plug in the following circumstances:
•When you are away from the machine
•After using the machine
•When the power fails during use
•When the machine does not operate correctly due to a bad connection or a disconnection
•During electrical storms
●Use only the power cord included with this machine.
●Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances plugged in to
them. Fire or electric shock may result.
●Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock may result.
●When unplugging the machine, always turn off the main power first. Always grasp the plug to

shock.
●Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted,
or bundled. Do not place heavy objects on the cord. Do not subject the cord to heat. These
things may damage the cord and cause fire or electric shock. If the cord or plug is damaged,
take the machine to your authorized dealer for repairs before continuing use.
●Unplug the power cord if the machine is not to be used for a long period of time. Otherwise
a fire may result.

(For U.S.A. only)
●Foot Controller: Model KD-1902
This foot controller can be used on the
machine with product code 885-X08.
The product code is mentioned on the
machine rating plate.
Checking the needle
The sewing needle must always be straight and sharp
for smooth sewing.
■Checking the needle correctly
Put the flat side of the needle on a flat surface.

The numbers marked on the stitch length dial represent
the stitch length in millimeters (mm) (1/25inch).
THE HIGHER THE NUMBER, THE LONGER THE
STITCH. With the “0” setting, material is not fed. This is
used when sewing a button.
The “F”-“1” range is for making a satin stitch (closed
zigzag stitch), which is used for making buttonholes
and decorative stitches. The position needed for making
the satin stitch varies according to the material and
thread being used. To determine the exact dial position,
first test the stitch and length settings on a scrap piece of
fabric to observe the feeding of the material.

CAUTION
Stitch width dial
Raise the needle by turning the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) so that the mark on the wheel points
up. The numbers marked on the dial represent the stitch
width.

●If the stitches are bunched together,
lengthen the stitch length and continue
sewing. Do not continue sewing without
lengthening the stitch length, otherwise
the needle may break and cause injury.

CAUTION
Reverse sewing lever
You can use reverse sewing for back tacking and
reinforcing seams.
To sew in reverse, push the reverse sewing lever in as
far as possible and hold it in that position while you
lightly push the foot controller. To sew forward, release
the reverse sewing lever. The machine will then sew
forward.

CAUTION
●After adjusting the stitch width, slowly
turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the presser foot. If
the needle hits the presser foot, the
needle may bend or break.
●If the stitches are bunched together,
increase the stitch length. Continuing to
sew with the stitches bunched together
may result in the needle bending or
breaking.

●We designed the bobbin that comes with this machine. If you use bobbins from other models,
the machine will not work properly. Only use the bobbin that comes with this machine or
bobbins of the same type (part code: SA156, SFB: XA5539-151). Using other bobbins may

•Start sewing after threading the lower and
upper thread. When sewing gathers or darts,
you can draw up the lower thread by hand so
that some thread will be left over. Refer to the

●When threading the upper thread, carefully follow the instructions. If the upper threading is
not correct, the thread may become tangled or the needle may bend or break.
●Never use a thread weight of 20 or lower.

left over. Before you draw up the lower thread, put
Making a buttonhole is a simple process that provides
reliable results.
With the 1-step Automatic Buttonhole Stitch pattern, a
buttonhole is sewn by automatically changing the
sewing direction when the buttonhole lever and
buttonhole foot are used.
Note
●When sewing a stitch pattern other than for
a buttonhole, do not lower, touch or move
the buttonhole lever, otherwise the stitching
may become misaligned or sewn
incorrectly.
Memo
●We recommend that you practice making a
buttonhole on a scrap piece of fabric before
you try it on an actual garment.
●When making buttonholes on soft fabrics,
place a stabilizer material on the underside
of the fabric.
■Making a buttonhole
1
Using tailor’s chalk, mark the position and
length of the buttonhole on the fabric.

Add together the diameter and thickness of the
button, and then set the button guide plate to the
calculated length. (The distance between the
markings on the presser foot scale is 5 mm (3/16
inch).)

If the stitching on the two sides of the buttonhole is not
the same, you can make the following adjustments.
1
Set the stitch length dial between “F” and
“1.5” and sew the buttonhole on a scrap
piece of fabric to observe how the
material is fed.
2
If the right side of the buttonhole is too
open or tight, adjust the feeding of the
material with the stitch length dial.
1Right side
2Shorter
3Longer
3
After obtaining a satisfactory feed on the
right side, stitch the buttonhole and
observe the feeding.
4
If the left side is too open or tight
compared with the right side, adjust the
buttonhole fine-adjustment screw as
described in the following paragraphs.
●When opening the buttonhole with the
seam ripper, do not place your hands in
the cutting path, otherwise injuries may
result if the seam ripper slips. Do not use
the seam ripper in any other way than
how it is intended.

●Turn the handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) and check that the
needle does not touch the zipper foot
before you start sewing. Choosing a
different stitch will cause the needle to
hit the presser foot and break, and you
may be injured.
