Setting Up Your Acclaim - Baby Lock Acclaim BLES4 Instruction And Reference Manual

Setting Up Your Acclaim

1. Remove machine from box
After removing the packing materials from the box, gently lift your Baby Lock serger by grasping
the handle provided on the top of the machine. Place the machine on a serger sewing table or
any sturdy level surface that provides ample work area to the left of the machine. Place the foot
control in a pedal stay, if desired, and position it under the sewing table.
2. Plug in the machine
Plug the power cord into the machine first, then into a wall outlet. The power switch is located
toward the back on the right side of the machine. Always make sure the power is OFF when the
machine is not in use. Available foot control for U.S.A and CANADA. : Model YC-482.
Lay the foot control cord and power cord along the inside of the channel located on the bottom
right side of the overlock machine. (fig. B)
3. Polarized plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. (fig. A) If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
4. Foot controller
The sewing speed of the machine is determined by the amount of pressure applied to the foot
controller. When not in use, do not place anything on the foot controller, or the machine could start
inadvertently and the controller or motor could burn out.
5. Position the telescopic thread guide.
Raise the telescopic thread guide to its highest position. Rotate the shaft to the left and right until
each section "clicks" into a locked position. (fig. C)
6. Opening front cover
The front cover may be opened simply by placing your fingers behind the cover at the upper right
side and gently pull toward you. (fig. D)
7. Opening cutting blade cover
To open the cutting blade cover, place your thumb against the tab, and slide the cover to the right.
A slight pull toward you will allow the cover to swing down, providing access to the loopers,
blades, and thread guides. (fig. E)
Note: The front cover has to be opened before opening the cutting blade cover.
