Handling the appliance safely
•
Place the sewing machine on a sturdy, level work surface.
•
During operation, the air vents must not be blocked: Do not allow any objects
(e.g. dust, threads, etc.) to enter the vents.
•
Only use the accessories supplied.
•
Only use special sewing machine oil to oil the appliance. Do not use any other
liquids.
•
Be careful when using the moving parts of the machine, in particular the
needle. There is the risk of injury even when the machine has been turned off.
•
When sewing, make sure that your fingers are never underneath the needle
holding screw.
•
Do not use bent or blunt needles.
•
When sewing, do not hold the fabric tight or pull the fabric. The needles could
break.
•
When you have finished sewing, always move the needle to its highest
position.
Cleaning and storage
•
Before cleaning, remove the plug from the mains socket. Use a dry, soft cloth
to clean the appliance. Avoid the use of chemical solutions and cleaning
products because these may damage the appliance surface or markings.
•
Always store the sewing machine using the cover hood provided to protect
the machine from dust.
