CAUTION: Always make sure that the machine is
unplugged from the power source and the power switch is

or removing parts.
1. This machine is equipped with a polarized plug which
must be used with an appropriate electrical outlet.

then plug the machine to a power source as shown in
Fig. 1.
3. Turn the power switch "On".

CAUTION:
- Do not use extension cords or multi-plug adapters with
many other appliances plugged in to them. Fire or
electric shock can occur.
- Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Electric shock
may result.
- When unplugging the sewing machine, always turn the
power switch to the "Off" position first. Then grasp the
plug to remove it from the outlet.
- Do not allow the power cord to be cut, damaged,
modified, pulled, twisted or bundled. Do not place
heavy objects on the cord. Do not subject the cord to
heat. These things may damage the power cord and
cause electric shock or fire.
Attention: Consult a qualified electrician if in doubt as to
connecting the sewing machine to a power source. Unplug
the power cord when the machine is not use.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in
any way. (Fig. 2)
