Do not wipe the sewing machine with solvent
such as thinner.
Do not put the sewing machine under the
direct sunlight or in a humid place.
Be sure to use the sewing machine in the
temperature range from 5ºC to 40ºC.
If the temperature is excessively low, the
machine can fail to operate normally.
For the combination of the material and the thread and needle, in particular, refer to the explanation table
in "Replacement of the needle".
If the needle or thread does not match the material used such as in the case that an extra heavyweight
material (e.g., denim) is sewn with a thin needle (#11 or higher), the needle can break resulting in an
unexpected personal injury.
WARNING
Other precautions
Be aware that the following state can take place since the sewing machine incorporates semi-conductor
electronic parts and precise electronic circuits.
* The operating temperature of the sewing machine is between 5ºC and 40ºC. Do not use the sewing
machine under the direct sunlight, near the burning things such as a stove and candle, or in a humid
place. By so doing, the temperature in the interior portion of the sewing machine can rise or the coating
of the power cord can melt, causing fire or electrical shock.
When the sewing
machine is soiled,
put a small quantity
of neutral detergent
on a piece of soft
cloth and carefully
wipe off the sewing
machine with it.
Do not dispose of electrical appliances as unsorted municipal waste, use separate collection
facilities.
Contact your local government for information regarding the collection systems available.
If electrical appliances are disposed of in landfills or dumps, hazardous substances can leak into
the groundwater and get into the food chain, damaging your health and well-being.
When replacing old appliances with new once, the retailer is legally obligated to take back your
old appliance for disposal at least for free of charge.

ON
OFF
Before connecting the power
supply, make sure that the
voltage and frequency shown on
the rating plate is conforming with
your mains power.
Place the machine on a stable
table.
1. Connect the power cord to the
machine by inserting the 2-
hole plug into the mains plug
socket.
2. Connect the power line plug to
the wall outlet.
Connect the foot controller
plug if you use.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. The sewing lamp will light up
when the switch is turned on.
5. After switching off, it will take
some time to consume the
residual power in the circuitry.
The light does not turn off
immediately after switching off
the power. This is normal
phenomenon for an energy
efficient appliance.
Attention:
Always make sure that the
machine is unplugged from power
source and the main switch is off
("O"). when the machine is not in
use and before inserting or
removing parts.
Polarized plug information
Foot Control
This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade wider than the
other), to reduce the risk of
electrical 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 to install the proper
outlet. Do not modify the plug in
any way.
With the sewing machine turned
off, insert the foot control plug into
its connector on the sewing
machine.
Turn on the sewing machine, and
then slowly depress the foot
control to start sewing. Release
the foot control to stop the sewing
machine.

The presser foot pressure of
the machine has been pre-set
and no need for change unless
sewing particular type of fabric
(light-or-heavy weight).
If you do need to adjust the
presser foot pressure, turn the
presser adjusting screw by
ones finger.
For sewing very thin fabric,
loosen the pressure by turning
the screw counterclockwise to
move the screw upward and
the pressure decreased. If kept
turning the screw, it could be
take out. By that time, just turn
the screw clockwise, it could be
locked back and readjust the
pressure.
For heavy fabric, tighten the
pressure by turning the screw
clockwise to move the screw
downward and the pressure
increased. Once screw could
not be moved any further, it has
been reached the bottom,
do not turn any more.please
