When using a sewing machine, basic safety precautions should always be taken,

including the following:

“Read all instructions before using.”

DANGER – To reduce the risk of electric shock.

1. The sewing machine should never be left unattended while plugged in. Always unplug the sewing ma-

chine from the electrical outlet immediately after using and before cleaning.

2. Always unplug before changing the light bulb. Replace bulb with same type rated 8V 2.4 watts.

WARNING – To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons.

1. Do not allow this sewing machine to be used as a toy. Close attention is necessary when the sewing

machine is used by or near children.

2. Use this sewing machine only for its intended use as described in this manual. Use only accessories

recommended by the manufacturer as contained in this manual.

3. Never operate this sewing machine if it has a damaged cord or plug, if it is not working properly, if it has

been dropped or damaged, or dropped into water. Return the sewing machine to the nearest authorized

dealer or service center for examination, repair, electrical or mechanical adjustment.

4. Never operate the sewing machine with any air openings blocked. Keep ventilation openings of the sew-

ing machine and foot control free from the accumulation of lint, dust, and loose cloth.

5. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.

6. Do not use outdoors.

7. Do not operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

12.Do not use bent needles.

13.Do not pull or push fabric while stitching. It may deflect the needle causing it to break.

14.Switch the sewing machine to the symbol “O” position when making any adjustments in the needle area,

such as threading needle, changing needle, threading bobbin, or changing presser foot, and the like.

“SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS”

“This sewing machine is intended for

household use.”

FOR USERS IN THE UK, EIRE, MALTA

AND CYPRUS ONLY.

If your sewing machine is fitted with a three-pin non-rewireable BS plug then please read the following.

IMPORTANT

If the available socket outlet is not suitable for the plug supplied with this equipment, it should be cut off and

an appropriate three-pin plug fitted. With alternative plugs an approved fuse must be fitted in the plug.

NOTE

The plug served from the main lead must be destroyed as a plug with bared flexible cords is hazardous if

engaged in a live socket outlet. In the event of replacing the plug fuse, use a fuse approved by ASTA to BS

1362, i.e. carrying the

mark, rating as marked on plug.

Always replace the fuse cover, never use plugs with the fuse cover omitted.

WARNING

DO NOT CONNECT EITHER WIRE TO THE EARTH TERMINAL WHICH IS MARKED WITH THE

LETTER ‘E’, BY THE EARTH SYMBOL OR COLOURED GREEN OR YELLOW.

The wires in this main lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Blue Neutral

Brown Live

As the colours of the wiring in the main 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 or blue.

The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter ‘L’ or

coloured red or brown.

3. Set the thread spool. The thread end should come from the

bottom front of the spool. The spool cap closest to the thread

spool size should be used to hold the spool securely on the

spool pin.

1 Spool cap

2 Spool

CAUTION

If the spool is placed onto the pin in the wrong direction,

the thread could entwine itself around spool pin.

4. Pass the thread through the thread guide as shown by the

arrows. Threading is easy if you hold the thread gently with

your right hand while guiding the end of the thread with your

left hand.

1 Run thread all the way through the thread guides as shown.

If using a fine thread such as cross wound thread, slightly

separate the spool cap (small) from the thread on the spool

before using.

1 Spool cap (small)

2 Space

3 Cross wound thread
