Now the carrying case can be opened (Fig.lc). Grip the machine on the upper arm and
take it out. When packing the machine away, be careful to have the handwheel on the
correct side, as otherwise the carrying case cannot be closed. On the inside bottom of
the case there is a drawing
which shows how to place the
machine.
The fixing screws should be
kept for use when the machine
at any time is sent by public
transport.

Electrical part
The drive of the BEIiNINA Record Model 630-2 and Model 532-2 is by the universal
motor placed at the rear. Motor and rheostat control are concealed beneath the protec¬
tive housing, which bears a plate specifying the voltage and power of the motor (Fig. 4).
Prior to connecting the flex to the mains, make sure that the voltage indicated on the
plate corresponds to the mains voltage. The mains voltage is indicated on the electric
meter of your home. This must always be checked, particularly if the machine is to be
used away from homo. Ilo not rely on the voltage indicated on plugs and sockets.
After connecting the curd extension to the machine, start machine by exerting slight
pressure on the knee control lever with your knee. The farther the lever is displaced
to the right, the gronti i the speed of the machine. Practise speed control several times
without lliicoiling the miichine.
The lamp is arranged in the swivelled head cover so that it will evenly distribute light
over the sewing area. It is switched on and off by pressing the light button. The bulb
can be changed when necessary; turn it anticlockwise to remove, clockwise to insert.
/ ■ 'not Control connect the lead from the foot control to the machine and then connect the
main electric lead. Stall machine by slight pressure of the foot on the foot control plate.
The further the foot control plate is depressed the greater the speed of the machine.
