Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may result in fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine. Turn off the main power and remove the plug in the following circumstances: • When you are away from the machine • After using the machine • When the power fails during use • When the machine does not operate correctly due to a bad connection or a disconnection • During electrical storms Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances plugged in to them. Fire or electric shock may result. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock may result. When unplugging the machine, always turn off the main power first. Always grasp the plug to remove it from the outlet. Pulling on the cord may damage the cord, or lead to fire or electric shock. Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. Do not place heavy objects on the cord. Do not subject the cord to heat. These things may damage the cord and cause fire or electric shock. If the cord or plug is damaged, take the machine to your authorized dealer for repairs before continuing use. Unplug the power cord if the machine is not to be used for a long period of time. Otherwise a fire may result.

Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injury. The sewing machine needle that should be used depends on the fabric and thread thickness. Refer to the following table when choosing the thread and needle appropriate for the fabric that you wish to sew. Use the same size thread for the upper (spool) and lower (bobbin) threads. 90/14 (Ball point) Cotton Wrapped Polyester Polyester Long Fiber Memo 15 • The smaller the thread number, thethicker needle. the thread; and the larger the needle number, the thicker the • • • Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur.

If the combination of the fabric, thread and needle is not correct, particularly when sewing thick fabrics (such as denim) with thin needles (such as 65/9 to 75/11), the needle may bend or break. In addition, the stitching may be uneven or puckered or there may be skipped stitches. to be straight according to the instructions "Checking the needle" . O Sewing with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is being operated.
