Incorrect stitch
If the machine does not sew the
stitch indicated by the display, it is
possible that the electronics have
been disturbed in some way, per-
haps by a short power cut or electri-
cal disturbance. Shut off the main
switch, wait a few seconds and try
again. If the fault remains, contact
your dealer.
Machine runs sluggishly
Dirt or lint has built up under the
stitch plate. Loosen the plate and
brush clean between the feed teeth
and in the bottom area. See page 52.

The machine always retains the last
made balance setting.

Expert assistance
Have your machine "tuned up"
regularly by your dealer. If you have
followed the preceding points and
still do not get satisfactory results,
you should contact the dealer where
you bought the machine. When the
machine is being checked, it is a
great help if it can be test sewn un-
der as similar conditions as possible
as when you used it.
Remember to take a sewing sample
along with you, preferably of the fa-
bric and with the thread you intend
to use.
A sewing sample will often give
much better information than words.
Non-original Parts and
Accessories
The warranty does not cover any
