Before using your sewing machine

Before using your sewing machine for the first time, place a
waste fabric under the presser foot and run the machine
without thread for a few minutes. Wipe away any oil which
may appear.

For your safety

* While in operation, always keep your eyes on the sewing
area. Do not touch any moving parts such as the thread
take-up lever, handwheel or needle.
* Always turn off the power switch and unplug from the
power supply:
- When leaving the machine unattended.
- When attaching or removing any parts.
- When cleaning the machine.
* Do not place anything on the foot control, when not
sewing.

Controlling sewing speed

Sewing speed is varied by the foot control.
The further down you press on the foot control, the faster
the machine runs.
Operating instrucitons:
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. If the plug
does not fit 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.
Foot control model YC-542 is used with this sewing
machine.
