precautions

concerning

the power supply.

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.

to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug.
If it ,,till does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do
not modify the plug in any way.

When connecting the foot controller,

When you press the foot controller down lightly, the
machine will run at a low speed. When you press
harder, the machine's speed will increase. When you
take your foot off the foot controller, the machine
will stop.

You should make sure that nothing is placed on the
foot controller when the machine is not in use.

•

Do not allow pieces of cloth and dust to build
up on the foot controller. Doing so could
cause a fire or an electric shock.

•

A new sewing machine or one that has not
been in use for a long period of time should
be oiled as described on page 39. After oiling,
be sure to wipe off any excess oil.

If the sewing machine has been placed on an uneven
surface, turn the rubber cushion in the right-front
comer of the base plate to adjust its height until the
sewing machine is stable.

Only use home sewing machine needles. Use of any other needle may bend the needle or damage the
machine.
Never use bent needles. 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.

Use the ball point needle when sewing on stretch fabrics or fabrics where skipped stitches easily occur.
Use a 90/14 to 100/16 needle with transparent nylon threads, regardless of the fabric being sewn.
A 75/11 needle is already installed when the sewing machine is purchased.
