Memo
● If error message "F1" through "F9" appears in the LCD while the sewing machine is being used, the
machine may be malfunctioning. Contact your dealer or the nearest authorized service center.
Probable Cause
The start/stop button or the reverse/rein-
forcement stitch button was pressed (The
foot controller was depressed if it is con-
nected.) while the presser foot is raised.
A stitch other than the buttonhole or bar
tack stitch was selected and the start/stop
button was pressed (The foot controller
was depressed if it is connected.) while
the buttonhole lever is lowered.
The buttonhole or bar tack stitch was
selected and the start/stop button was
pressed (The foot controller was
depressed if it is connected.) while the
buttonhole lever is raised.
The reverse/reinforcement stitch button or
needle position button was pressed while
the bobbin winder shaft is moved to the
right.
The start/stop button was pressed, even
though the foot controller is connected.
The motor locked up because the thread
is tangled.
Remedy
Lower the presser foot
before continuing the
operation.
Raise the buttonhole lever
before continuing the
operation.
Lower the buttonhole lever
before continuing the
operation.
Move the bobbin winder
shaft to the left before con-
tinuing the operation.
Disconnect the foot
controller, and then press
the start/stop button.
Otherwise, operate the
machine by using the foot
controller.
Turn off the machine and
remove the tangled thread
before continuing the
operation.
