SEWING
CAUTION
• To avoid injury, pay special attention to the
needle while the machine is in operation. Keep
your hands away from moving parts while the
machine is in operation.
• Do not stretch or pull the fabric during
sewing. Doing so may lead to injury.
• Do not use bent or broken needles. Doing so
may lead to injury.
• Do not attempt to sew over basting pins or
other objects during sewing. Otherwise, the
needle may break and cause injury.
• If stitches become bunched, lengthen the
stitch length setting before continuing sewing.
Otherwise, the needle may break and cause
injury.
• This machine is equipped with a thread
detection device. If the "Start/Stop" button is
pushed before the upper threading is done, the
machine will not operate properly. Also,
depending on the stitch pattern selected, the
machine may feed the fabric even if the needle
is raised. This is due to the needle bar release
mechanism. At these times, the machine will
make a sound different from what is made
during normal sewing. This is not the sign of a
malfunction.
