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.

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.

How to clear the language selection
Example: To change the display language from
Spanish back to English
1. Touch the “ENGLISH” key.
This will cancel the Spanish language setting.
The display will then return to the screen which was
previously being displayed.
CAUTION
– This function should not be used as a translation
function.
– If the power supply is turned off, the current lan-
guage setting will be retained and will not be
cleared.
While touching a selection key, turn the power off and
then back on again.

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
