Sewing

Points to note before sewing

• Attach all safety devices before using the sewing machine. If the machine is used without these
devices attached, injury may result.
• Turn off the power switch while threading and replacing the bobbin, and when not using or going
away from the sewing machine. The machine may operate if the treadle is depressed by mistake,
which could result in injury.
• Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any objects against the sewing machine while sewing.
Otherwise, it may result in injury or damage to the sewing machine.
• Secure the table so that it will not move when tilting back the machine head. If the table moves, it
may crush your feet or cause other injuries.
• Do not touch the face plate knives when opening the thread take-up guard cover. Otherwise it may
result in injury.
• Use both hands to hold the machine head when tilting it back or returning it to its original position. If
only one hand is used, the weight of the machine head may cause your hand to slip, and your hand
may get caught.
