Scratched Sensor Surfaces of the Bobbin
NOTICE
Malfunction of the lower thread indicator. If the sensor surfaces of the bobbins are scratched or dirty, the
bobbin thread indicator will no longer detect the low thread level.
> Always position the bobbins in the bobbin holder with the silver sensor surface to the right.

2.3 Connection and Switching On
Connecting the Foot Control
The cable of the foot control is rolled up on its underside.
> Unroll the cable of the foot control to the desired length and fix it in the cable holders of the foot
control.
> Insert the plug of the cable into the foot control socket of the machine.
> Place the foot control under the table.
> If the cable is too long, roll up the excess length and fix it in the cable holders of the foot control.
Connecting the Machine
To ensure safe operation of the machine, only the supplied mains cable may be used. The supplied power
cable is designed for the voltage range applicable in the country of use. If the machine is to be used in a
country other than the country of origin, the power cable suitable for that country must be obtained from
the Authorized BERNINA dealer.
The power cable for the USA and Canada has a polarized power plug (one contact is wider than the other).
To reduce the risk of an electric shock, the plug can only be inserted into the socket in one way. If the power
plug does not fit in the socket, reverse then insert the power plug. If the reversed power plug still does not
fit, an electrician must install an appropriate socket. Do not modify the power plug in any way.
