Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of an electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
modify the plug in any way.
Before Using Your Sewing Machine
Before using your sewing machine for the first time,
place a
piece of waste fabric under the presser
foot and run the machine with thread for a few
minutes. Wipe away any oil which may appear.
For Your Safety
* While in operation, always keep your eyes on the
sewing area. Do not touch any moving parts such
as the thread take-up lever, handwheel or needle.
* Always turn off the power switch and unplug from
the power supply:
— When leaving the machine unattended.
— When attaching or removing parts.
— When cleaning the machine.
* Do not place anything on the foot control when not
sewing.
