2. GETTING
READY TO SEW
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Remove plug
from the socket
outlet when changing
needles, feet,
or
needle plates, or when leaving the machine unattended. This
eliminates
the possibility
of starting
the machine
by
accidentally
pressing
the speed
controller.
2. Before removing
the bobbin case, remove plug from
the socket outlet.
3. Because
of the up and
down movement
of the needle, you
must work
carefully
and watch
the sewing
area when
operating
the machine.
4. Do not pull the fabric while you are stitching as this
may deflect the
needle, causing it to break.
5. Before
cleaning your machine, remove plug from the socket outlet.
6. Do not attempt to adjust the motor
belt Contact your nearest Service
Center or an authorized Singer
dealer should any adjustment
be
required.
7, Before changing light
bulb, make sure you have removed
plug from
socket outlet. Be sure to replace the face plate which covers
the light
bulb before operating the machine.
8. This machine is designed to use a 15-watt maximum
light bulb.
This
product is suppressed for radio and television
interference with
the International
Electro-technical Commission requirements of the CISPR.
Machines for Great Britain and some
other countries having similar wiring
standards are shipped
from
the factory without
a plug for connection
to the
mains.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured
in accordance with the
following code:
Blue: neutral (N)
Brown: live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the mains
lead of this appliance may not
correspond
with the coloured
markings identifying
the terminals in
your
plug, proceed
as follows:
The wire which
is coloured blue must be connected to
the terminal which is
marked with
the letter N or coloured black, The wire
which is coloured
brown mustbe connected
to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or
coloured red.
If a 13 Amp. (BS 1363) plug Is used, a 3
Amp. fuse must be
fitted,or if any othertype
of plug is used, a 5 Amp. fuse must befitted either in
the plug or adaptor or at the
distribution board.
Neither core is to
be connected to the earth
terminal of a three-pin
plug.
