Correction
• Check that the machine is threaded correctly. Make certain that
thread is "flossed" snugly in place between the two tension discs.
If machine is threaded correctly, tighten top tension by rotating the
tension knob clockwise.
• Refer to threading diagram and threading instructions (page 16).
• Turn the machine on by using the switch on the back electrical
control cover.
• Check that the power connector is plugged into the back of the ma-
chine and the three-prong end is plugged into power source
• Make certain that the fabric is not rolled too tight, causing the fab-
ric to stretch. Check that poles overlap and snap together with the
snap button so bowing won't occur.
• If fabric is beginning to stretch or fray, contact your authorized Baby
Lock retailer for replacement leaders.
• Check that all cables are connected tightly.
• The alarm indicates that the motor is not responding properly to
the speed controls. This may be caused by a thread lock, mechanical
obstruction or an electrical problem.
• Clear any thread from the bobbin area only after turning off the
power to the machine.
• Turn the handwheel and check for tightness.
• The motor stall may re-occur if it is caused by an electrical problem.
Turn the machine off and then back on again to reset the computer.
