GENERAL DIRECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Safety For safety reasons, the sewing machine must be disconnected from the mains: - Whenever the machine is left unattended - Whenever preparing the machine for sewing - Whenever servicing - Whenever replacing mechanical or electrical parts or accessories Needles Usually needles of the system 130/705 H may be used.
RECOMMENDATIONS 1. Never connect the machine to a different voltage than that marked on the specification plate. 2. For safety reasons, never perform any repairs on the power supply circuit without first removing the mains lead from the machine. Never plug in or run the machine unless all the connections are correctly set. When changing the light bulb, it is neccessary to disconnect the mains lead.
MECHANICAL SEWING DISORDERS First of all, please refer to the paragraph entitled "maintenance" in the instruction manual, especially when machine does not turn freely by turning the flywheel by hand. If necessary, check and adjust tightness of motor belt. Given below are the most frequent disorders. In most cases, they can be remedied by checking the adjustments in the following order.

MECHANICAL SEWING DISORDERS 3. Thread breakage Before checking the adjustment, make sure of the good quality of the thread and the needle, the correctness of threading and the smoothness of all the thread passages. Quite often, a damage to thread passage is the cause of thread breakage. If all these points are in order, check the following: - Dull point of needle or bent needle - replace.
