Control and adjustment of the sewing machine
▶Always turn off the power when mounting a needle. If the operator mistakenly steps on the

injuries.
▶When using clutch motor, be aware that the motor will continue to rotate for a while even after
the power is switched off due to inertia. Start to work on the sewing machine only after the
motor has come to a complete stop.
