Safety instructions

Read all the safety instructions and information before using the sewing machine. Failure to com-
ply with the safety instructions and information may cause electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information in a suitable place near the appliance for future referen-
ce. Also hand over the user manual when passing on the device to third parties. The term "device"
used in the safety instructions refers to the sewing machine (with power cord and foot controller).
Safety at the workplace – This sewing machine is intended for household use only. Be sure to
use the sewing machine in the temperature range from 5ºC to 40ºC. If the temperature is exces-
sively low, the sewing machine can fail to operate normally. Do not install the device at an alti-
tude of more than 2000 meters above sea level. Do not use the device if it is wet or in humid en-
vironment. Always use the device only in dry rooms. Place the sewing machine on a stable, flat,
dry and stable work surface. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Disorder or unlit work areas
can lead to accidents. Install the power cord so that there is no tripping hazard. Keep children
and other persons away while using the device. You may lose control of the device if distracted.
Electrical safety – Only use the original power cord supplied with the sewing machine. Other pow-
er 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 la-
belled 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, hea-
ters, 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 unplug-
ging, 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 wor-
king 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 uninten-
tional 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. Care-
ful handling and use of the device – Do not overload the device. Use the designated sewing machine for
your sewing work. With a suitable sewing machine 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 de-
vice 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.

ning and user maintenance must not be carried out by children without supervision. Use the
device, accessories or insertion tools (e.g. needles, bobbins, etc.) according to these inst -
ructions. Take into account the working conditions and the activity to be carried out. Use of the de-
vice for applications other than those for which it is intended may lead to dangerous situations.
Safety instructions for service – Have the device repaired only by qualified personnel
and only with original spare parts. This ensures maintaining the safety of the unit. If the LED
lamp is damaged or defective, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its customer ser-
vices to avoid hazards. The device may only be used with a specific foot controller and/or pow-
er cord in order to avoid hazards. If the foot controller and/or power cord is damaged or defecti-
ve, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its customer services or a similarly qualified person.
Safety instructions for all applications – This sewing machine is to be used for sewing household
textiles. Observe all warnings, instructions, illustrations and data provided with the device. Failure to ob-
serve the following instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. This device is not
intended for processing other materials (e.g. leather, canvas, sailcloth and similar heavy fabrics). Ap-
plications for which this device is not designed pose a risk; there is a danger of injury. Do not use any
accessories that are not specifically intended and recommended for this device by the manufacturer.
Just because you can attach the accessory to your device does not guarantee safe use. Keep other
people at a safe distance from your work area. Keep the power cord away from moving accessories.
