TO AVOID THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
FIRE, BURNS, OR PERSONAL INJURY
WARNING — Outdoor use is not recommended. Use the sewing machine only as designed
and intended. Do not use the machine with accessories not provided for sale
by Spiegel. Use of unapproved accessories could result in injury and/or
damage to the machine, and will void your limited Spiegel product warranty.
This machine should not be operated near oxygen tanks or where oxygen is
being administered. Do not operate the machine in proximity to any aerosol
chemical.
Your sewing machine has a polarized electrical plug (one blade is wider than
the other). Always plug the blades in correctly to an approved, listed wall
outlet to reduce your risk for electrical shock. Never force the plug. If the
plug does not fit, make sure you have aligned the polarized blades correctly.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrical technician. Never
modify the electrical plug in any way.
NEVER operate the sewing machine if the power cord is damaged or
exposed wires are visible. The sewing machine should not be operated after it
has been exposed to water, after it has been subjected to impact damage, or if
it has otherwise been damaged. Always have your sewing machine examined
and repaired by an authorized Spiegel dealer if it has been damaged.
Do not leave the sewing machine plugged in while it is unattended. Always
unplug the sewing machine from the electrical outlet when it is not in use.
Never clean or maintain your sewing machine while it is plugged in. Do not
unplug the machine while power is switched on. Always switch the power
off before unplugging the machine, and never pull the power cord by the
cord itself. Always hold the power cord by the plug.
Always switch off the sewing machine whenever you are changing the
needle or whenever you are otherwise adjusting the sewing machine.
Do not block the ventilation slots of the sewing machine. Proper air flow is
required for operation of the machine. Do not allow fabric, dust, or debris to
block the air vents. Never insert objects into any openings or seams on the
machine.
