18. Disengaging the upper knife
If you would like to sew without cutting the edges at the same time, you
can disengage the upper knife.
1. Switch off the machine and pull out the mains plug.
2. Open the looper cover (13).
3. Ensure that the stitch finger control (40) is set to "R".
4. Use one hand to hold the free arm in place, and turn the dial for the
knife fitting (14) to the right.
5. Then turn the knife fitting clockwise forwards until the knife has
been rotated through 270°.
6. Ensure that the pin in the knife fitting catches in the dial groove to
ensure the safe hold.
7. Close the looper cover and continue your sewing work.
8. Proceed in the reverse order to re-engage the knife.
CAUTION!
Risk of crushing
The spring of the knife fitting dial is under high tension and the dial can
therefore spring back when returning to the original position and there is a
risk of crushing fingers.
Always hold the dial firmly and let it gently click into place in its original
position.
