Proper Use
Your BERNINA machine is conceived and designed for private household use. It is intended for sewing fabrics
and other materials as described in this instruction manual. Any other use is not considered proper. BERNINA
assumes no liability for consequences resulting from improper use.
Equipment and Scope of Delivery
Example images are used in these instructions for the purposes of illustration. The machines shown in the
images and the accessories shown therefore do not always match the actual items included with your
machine. The supplied accessory can vary depending on the country of delivery. You can acquire any
accessories mentioned or shown that are not included in the scope of delivery as optional accessories from a
specialist BERNINA dealer. Further accessories can be found at www.bernina.com.
For technical reasons and in order to improve the product, changes may be made to the equipment of the
machine and the scope of delivery at any time and without prior notice.
Servicing of Double-insulated Products
In a double-insulated product two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding
means is provided on a double-insulated product nor should a means for grounded be added to the product.
Servicing a double-insulated product requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should only be
done by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts for a double-insulated product must be identical to
the original parts in the product. A double insulated product is marked with the words: «Double-Insulation»
or «double-insulated».
The symbol may also be marked on the product.
Environmental Protection
BERNINA International AG is committed to environmental protection. We strive to minimize the
environmental impact of our products by continuously improving product design and our technology of
manufacturing.
The machine is labeled with the symbol of the crossed-out wastebin. This means that the machine should
not be disposed of in household waste when it is no longer needed. Improper disposal can result in
dangerous substances getting into the groundwater and thus into our food chain, damaging our health.
The machine must be returned free of charge to a nearby collection point for waste electrical and electronic
equipment or to a collection point for the reuse of the machine. Information on the collection points can be
obtained from your local administration. When purchasing a new machine, the dealer is obliged to take back
the old machine free of charge and dispose of it properly.
If the machine contains personal data, you are responsible for deleting the data yourself before returning the
machine.
