Caution
▶
In case of taking up the upper thread, be sure to switch off the power supply. If the user
presses on the step by mistake, the machine will start automatically, and this might lead to
physical injuries.
▶
When using the clutch motor, remember that the motor revolves for a while even after
switching off the power supply due to inertia. Make sure to start working only after the motor
has come to a complete stop.
