IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
•Before connecting machine, be sure that the voltage on the AC adapter
matches your electrical supply.
•Always disconnect the foot switch or AC adapter when changing needles,
removing the bobbin, or cleaning the machine.
•Always disconnect the AC adapter whenever machine is unattended.
• Work carefully and watch the sewing area to avoid the needle during operation.
•Do not pull the fabric while mending as the needle may bend and break or
cause other damage
• Check that the machine is threaded carefully before mending.
•The bobbin case tension is Pre-set at the factory and cannot be adjusted.
• If the thread gathers underneath the material, this indicates that the tension
needs to be increased e.g., for cotton material the tension should be
tightened as far as it will go then turned anti-clockwise 2 and a half turns.
•Please avoid sideways pressure on the needle when sewing around corners
as this could cause the machine to jam and render it inoperative.

pulling it upwards.
Check that bobbin case is in proper posi-
tion. The bobbin case is held in place by a
position plate which is designed to flex
slightly to allow the bobbin case to move
back and forth freely, about 1/16"
Screw head should line up with seam in
plastic casing of machine and bobbin case
should move back and forth slightly (about
1/16'') when handwheel is turned. If not,
refer to page 17 for repositioning instruc-
tions.

The seam ripper may make removal easi-
er.
Place bobbin on bobbin winder, aligning
hole in bobbin with driving pin on bobbin
winder. You may have to turn the handwheel
