Can you chain off and how easy is it to remove the fabric from the coverstitch mode? Does the tension release when the foot is raised? TIA

When you stop sewing a coverstitch, DON'T SEW OFF THE FABRIC, just stop, raise the presser foot and use an awl to pull the needle threads forward about six inches. Still holding the thread forward, move the fabric backward from under the presser foot and clip the threads. This can be difficult because the pressure foot lever goes the opposite direction of conventional levers, but move it higher to release the fabric.

Yes, you can back the tension right off. There's a large knob you simply screw in or out to change the resistance.

Yes the footrest are swing away and can easily be taken off by lifting up off the twp pins that hold them in place

Actually it is very easy to adjust the tension on the chain. The handy tool that comes with it makes for a quick and easy adjustment. This little saw is great for just about any trimming you need to do. I had a branch fall on my roof and was able to cut it down without using a ladder. I love this gizmo...

The seat is removable. It just pulls up and out. You remove the seat and then run the cable under the lower pulley. You sit on the floor to do the low rows.

When needed, the foot rests simply fold up and out of the way. There is no need to remove them or have the rider/patient stand. I like this hassle-free, quick change option.

I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves. When the pulleys need to be disconnected from the glide board you reach under the glide board and unhook the rope. Takes 2 seconds.The other things I do to switch are to change the difficult setting, i.e. raise or lower the glide board. This takes about 15 seconds. Getting in and out of the foot strap is a bit awkward, maybe 30 seconds. Swapping the pulley handles for the bicep bar doesn't always go easily; getting the handles out of the clips takes some work. Swap is still under a minute though. A couple other things take just a few seconds. I never have any need to remove the pulleys themselves.

I don't think the fabric detaches from the framework. I have never tried. The rain keeps it clean.

Bring the foot rest all of the way up manually, it will click, then push it down all the way and ratchet it back up in increments. This is just like your lawn chair lounges, same concept. It doesn't lock, it goes up all the way, then down to the bottom and ratchets up to straight again, until it reaches the top then it automatically goes down for the slow return up. Hope that helped.

Besides the already mentioned advice the only time I've had the chain slip off was when I twisted it while cutting. Sometimes the angles can get a little awkward or you get a little rushed and you just need to be patient and keep the saw perpendicular to the cut until it's complete. It's only slipped off very few times for me and each time I knew it was my fault and not the saw's. Fortunately it only takes about 5 minutes to reset the chain even if it does slip loose.

I have used mine Several Times and only had the chain come off once, you need to open the plastic cover, place the chain in the groove, and then tighten the chain,

Oh yes it pulls off easily...grab/lift to move it from the back support area.At least that's what I do :)

You can change the tensioner safely without the tool. The tool if for replacing the chain cassets.

Its very easy to remove. In fact the fabric starts to stretch over time and becomes loose.

Well, I've never used it that way but you could use it to pull the bottom part of the leg opening over your foot I would think. Its kind of long to use to pull them all the way up.

Long time since I had mine but from memory it is motion that sets it off, like picking up the bike. If you put to cover on before activating it should be OK.

I have taken the cover off and washed in the washmachine. It takes some doing. You have to undo all the straps and watch just how they go before taking them off. Once all the straps are off the cover will be easy to get off.
