  1. Do not use the appliance as a toy. Caution is advised when the appliance is used by children, or 

near children. This sewing machine can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and 

persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowl-

edge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the sewing machine 

in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall not play with the sewing 

machine. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.

  2. Use this appliance only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only attachments 

recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.

  3. Never operate this appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it 

has been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the appliance to the nearest au-

thorized dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.

  4. Never operate the appliance with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the 

sewing machine and foot control free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth.

Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is required around the sewing machine needle.

  6. Always use the proper stitch plate. The wrong plate can cause the needle to break.

needle breakage. In addition, do not attempt to cut anything other than fabric and thread with 

the upper/lower knives.

threading needle, changing needle, threading looper, or changing presser foot and the like.

opened to thread the loopers, when lubricating or when making any other user servicing adjust-

ments mentioned in the instruction manual.

15. To disconnect, turn all controls to the off “O” position, then remove plug from outlet.

16. Do not unplug by pulling on cord. To unplug, grasp the plug, not the cord.

17. Basically, the machine should be disconnected from the electricity supply when not in use.

18. If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or sim-

ilarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
