IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS. |

This machine has been carefully constructed and
thoroughly tested at the factory. a i

If you have occasion to write about your machine, always
give serial number of head on stitch regulating plate.

Allow no adjuster, who is not an established agent of this
company, to repair or touch this machine. Competing agents
are often unscrupulous enough to put the machine out of
order in an attempt to sell a new one. ip ;

See that your needle is the proper length and straight.
Skipping stitches and crooked sewing is often the result of
either, The needle eye should be as close as possible to the
point of the shuttle, and just below it when the loop is
formed. Buy needles only of “Rotary” agents or send to
the factory. When ordering, give the serial number of
your machine. 1 |
Do not run the machine when the presser foot is down
without cloth between it and the feed, It tangles the thread,
roughens the foot and dulls the feed points.

Do not pull the cloth along when stitching. This is liable

to pull the point of the needle onto the needle plate and
either break the needle or roughen the needle plate, A rough

needle plate or needle plate hole may cause trouble and

breaking of thread. The feed will move the goods along
properly.
