CHUTION
OBSERVE THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Though Pegasus takes the utmost care to produce safe sewing machines and devices, operators
should follow these basic safety rules.
• To prevent accidents, do not remove safety devices or parts while operating the machine.
• Do not leave tools or other unnecessary objects on the machine table while operating the
machine.
8 Before maintenance, adjusting, cleaning, threading or replacing the needle, and to prevent
accidents, be sure the power is turned off, Check that the machine will not operate when the
pedal is pressed.
NOTE
In case a crutch type motor is used, it will keep on rotating by inertia after turning off power supply
CD. If the machine pedal ® is stepped on inadvertently, it is dangerous because the machine will move
unexpectedly. Keep
on stepping on the machine pedal (2.) until the machine comes to a stop after turning
off power supply CD.
