Operation
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Improper handling of the sewing machine may result in injury.
− Keep fingers away from moving parts. Exercise caution in the
area surrounding the sewing needle.
− Switch off the sewing machine and unplug it from the power
outlet if you are not using the sewing machine and leaving it.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the sewing machine may result in damage to
the machine or lead to messy sewing results.
− Make sure that the upper and lower thread have been guided
through the sewing machine properly. If thread is not properly
guided through the thread guide, thread may tear, stitches may
be missed, or the fabric may curl up along the stitching. The
sewing machine may be damaged under certain circumstances.
− Practice sewing on a piece of fabric before you actually begin
sewing. Check the thread tension.
− Make sure that the fabric and threads have been properly guid-
ed through the sewing machine before operating the on/off
switch or the foot pedal. The sewing machine will immediately
begin to sew after the on/off switch or the foot pedal is pressed.
− Do not pull on or push the fabric when sewing to avoid break-
ing the needle or damaging the sewing machine.
− When sewing in reverse (manually operated), the sewing ma-
chine does not sew fabric. Using the reverse mode for a pro-
longed period damages the sewing machine and can damage
it in the long term.
