Electrical Safety; Safety Of Persons; Careful Handling And Use Of The Device - Silvercrest SCNM 100 A1 Operating And Safety Instructions Manual

Safety instructions

Electrical safety

• Only use the original power cord supplied with the sewing machine. Other power cords may damage the device. Do
not use the supplied power cord with other devices.
• Make sure that the mains voltage corresponds to the voltage indicated on the labelling of the device (devices labelled
230V or 240V can also be operated with 220V).
• The connection plug of the device must fit into the socket. The plug must not be modified in any way. Unmodified plugs
and matching sockets reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, heaters, cookers and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Keep the unit away from rain or wet conditions. The ingress of water into the device increases the risk of electric shock.
• Do not misuse the power cord to pull the plug out of the socket. When unplugging, grab the plug and not the power
cord.
• Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts of the device. Damaged or tangled power
cord increases the risk of electric shock.

Safety of persons

• Be careful, pay attention to what you are doing and use common sense when working with the device. Do not use
the device when you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of carelessness when
using the device can lead to serious injury.
• Avoid unintentional starting up. Make sure the device is switched off before connecting it to the power supply, picking it
up or carrying it. If you connect the device to the power supply when it is switched on, this can lead to accidents.
• Wear appropriate clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry or long hair can be caught by moving parts.

Careful handling and use of the device

• Do not overload the device. Use the designated sewing machine for your sewing work. With a suitable sewing ma-
chine you will work better and safer in the specified power range.
• Do not use a device whose switch is defective. A device that can no longer be switched on or off is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Never place anything on the foot controller.
• Unplug the device from the wall socket before making any adjustments to the device, changing accessories or putting
the device away. This precaution prevents the device from starting unintentionally.
• Keep the unused device out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons who are not familiar with the device or have
not read these instructions to use the device. Sewing machines are dangerous when used by inexperienced people.
• Maintain the device with care. Check whether moving parts of the device function properly and are not jammed,
whether parts are broken or damaged in such a way that the function of the device is impaired. Have damaged parts
repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained sewing machines.
DANGER! DANGER OF LIFE AND ACCIDENT FOR TODDLERS AND CHILDREN! Cleaning and user mainte-
nance must not be carried out by children without supervision.
• Use the device, accessories or insertion tools (e.g. needles, bobbins, etc.) according to these instructions. Take into
account the working conditions and the activity to be carried out. Use of the device for applications other than those for
which it is intended may lead to dangerous situations.
