3.1. Controlling Sewing Speed

1. Accendere la macchina: Flip the power switch on your sewing machine to the ON position. The machine's light may illuminate.
2. Applicare pressione: Place your foot on the foot pedal. The sewing machine's speed is directly controlled by the amount of pressure you apply to the pedal.
3. Aumentare la velocità: Press down gently for slower speeds. Increase pressure for faster sewing speeds.
4. Stop Sewing: Release pressure from the pedal to stop the machine.

4. Cura e manutenzione

Proper care ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your foot controller.

• Pulizia: Wipe the foot controller and cord with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure no liquids enter the pedal mechanism.
• Magazzinaggio: When not in use, store the foot controller and cord in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid kinking or tightly wrapping the cord.
• Ispezione: Periodically inspect the cord for any signs of damage, such as fraying, cuts, or exposed wires. If damage is observed, discontinue use and replace the unit.

5. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

If you encounter issues with your foot controller, refer to the following common problems and solutions.

5.1. Sewing Machine Does Not Power On

• Controllare le connessioni: Ensure the three-pin connector is fully inserted into the sewing machine's port and the power plug is securely in the wall outlet.
• Verifica potenza: Test the wall outlet with another appliance to confirm it is receiving power. Check your home's circuit breaker if necessary.
• Machine Power Switch: Confirm the sewing machine's power switch is in the ON position.

5.2. No Speed Control or Machine Runs at Full Speed

• Pedal Functionality: Ensure the foot pedal mechanism moves freely and returns to its resting position when pressure is released.
• Problema interno: If the machine consistently runs at full speed or has no speed variation despite pedal pressure, there may be an internal issue with the foot controller or the sewing machine itself. Consider contacting SINGER customer support or a qualified technician.

5.3. Intermittent Power or Operation

• Danni al cavo: Inspect the entire length of the power cord and foot controller cord for any visible damage, such as cuts, kinks, or exposed wiring. Damaged cords can cause intermittent power.
