Instruction
Book

Dear Customer,
We congratulate
you
on
your choice.
You
are now the proud
owner
of
the
new
KAYSER
sewing
machine
with its
sleek,
modern
lines and
remarkable
sewing capabilities.
We
know
you
can’t wait
to see
the many
useful
and beautiful
things you can
make
on
your
machine.
The demonstrator
has no doubt
given you
many
practical hints.
But it’s obvious
that she
could
not
possibly
cover everything
that is
likely to
occur in
practice. That’s
why we
have
given you
this instruction book
which holds
the
answers
to
all
the
questions
you
may
have.
With
the help
of the
diagrams and
names
of controls
on pages 2 and
3
you’ll
soon
find
out
how
it
goes.
Should
you
ever
have any
sewing problems,
don’t
hesitate to
contact
your nearest
dealer
who
will
be glad
to
help you.
