If your Juki HZL-210 Excite's automatic thread cutter is cutting your thread when you're trying to straight stitch, there are a few things you can check:
Make sure you're using the correct presser foot: If the wrong presser foot is installed, it can activate the automatic thread cutter when you don't want it to. Ensure that you're using the appropriate presser foot for your straight stitch.
Check your thread tension: An incorrect thread tension can also cause the automatic thread cutter to activate at the wrong time. Make sure your thread tension is properly set for the type of fabric you're using and the type of stitch you want to make.
Clean the machine: Accumulated lint or debris can cause the automatic thread cutter to malfunction. Use a brush or compressed air to clean the machine, particularly around the thread cutter mechanism.
Reset the machine: Turn off the machine and unplug it for a few minutes, then plug it back in and turn it on again. This can sometimes reset the automatic thread cutter and resolve any issues.
If none of these solutions work, you may need to take your machine to a professional for servicing or repair.
Shirley may be the best to help you.
Did you make sure the foot pedal works?
Be careful with electricity (I'm sure you will...)
Sometimes switches are made such that a tiny bit of something can get lodged in and prevent the switch for working properly.
Good luck. Can't help much without details. I think Shirley can help you better, too.
1. Make sure the machine isn't set for bobbin rewind. Also, try to move the control hookup around slightly to ensure it is making a good connection.
2. Is it possible the power switch looks like it is on but isn't because of the surrounding light? Check this and the outlet you are using.
3. Is the sewing machine light on? A puppy biting in the wire could have caused a short so a pro will have to check the guts of the machine.
There are a couple of things I recommend that you check. First, make sure that the bobbin is evenly wound. This is a function of the bobbin winder tension; see the manual (page 15) for that adjustment. Next, check if the bobbin case tension is correct. Place the bobbin in the bobbin case and dangle the unit from the thread. Try to shake the bobbin case up and down, sort of like a yo-yo. The thread should advance by a bit. If the thread length doesn't change, loosen the set screw on the side of the bobbin case a small amount. If you get a really long tail of thread, tighten the set screw. See page 21 of the manual.
Next check for any loose threads and dirt in the housing around the bobbin case. Depending on the length of time that you have been using the needle, replace the needle.

all machines thread the same. TTN tension,take up,needle.
Beginning with the spool, guide the
thread through the thread guides to the tension assembly. Pull the thread
through the tension assembly and test it to make sure the tension is working
correctly.
(To do this test, adjust your tension setting to normal or medium or 5 or
something in the middle. Raise the presser foot and pull the thread through the
tension. It should pull easily!! Lower the presser foot and pull the thread. It
should pull noticeably harder.) If it passes this test, continue up through the
take up lever,then down through the thread guides to the needle. Make sure your
needle is fully inserted and turned the correct way.( If you load your bobbin
case from the left side,the needle rule is normally FLAT to the RIGHT is RIGHT.
There are some exceptions. If you have a newer style drop in bobbin or your
bobbin case loads in the front then the rule is FLAT to the BACK.
