 CAUTION

• When using zipper foot “I”, make sure the 

straight stitch, middle needle position is 

selected. Turn the handwheel to make sure the 

needle does not strike the presser foot. If 

another stitch is selected, the needle will strike 

the presser foot, causing the needle to break 

and possibly causing injury.
