●The machine must be used only for the purpose intended.

Use of the machine without the safety devices belonging to it is not permitted.

●When gauge parts are exchanged (e.g. needle, presser foot, needle plate, feed dog and bobbin) during

threading, when the workplace is left, and during service work, the machine must be isolated from the mains

by switching off the main switch or disconnecting the mains plug.

●On mechanically operated clutch motors without start inhibitor it is necessary to wait until the motor
