Caution
▶
Turn off the power switch when routing the upper thread.
▶
If the operator mistakenly steps on the pedal while switched on, the machine will start automatically
and can cause physical injuries.
▶
When using the clutch motor, be aware that the motor will continue to rotate for a while after the
power is switched off due to inertia.
▶
Start to work on the sewing machine only after the motor has come to a complete stop.
