stitch length in mm is opposite the mark (3).

Set the smaller stitch length with the lower setting wheel (4). Turn

the setting wheel (4) so that the number (2) indicating the required

stitch length in mm is opposite the mark (3).

The stitch length are the same for both, forward and backward

sewing.

CAUTION Danger of breakage!

The stitch length set with the lower setting wheel (4) must not exceed

the stitch length set with the upper setting wheel (1).

remains unchanged should be activated with key (4) see chapter
