The purpose of simulation test is to check if the machine will sew at right position.
Press this key, the machine will move one step, and "press ON" this key, the machine will continue to move. 
You need to watch the needle trace carefully, make sure all stitches are in right position

Step 21, after finish the simulation test (clamp automatically move to "origin position" again), press the key of "CLEAR" for quit simulation)

Step 22, Press key of "SPEED", then press key "8" and "2" to adjust the sewing speed, according to thickness of rope, finally press key of confirmation.
Now the machine is properly set for your rope!

Step 23, Thread your machine, usually we thread your machine before delivery (as reference)
