Baby Lock Eclipse DX (BLE1DX-2) Instruction and Reference Guide - Manual (Page 10)


After removing the packing materials from the box, gently lift your Baby Lock serger by gasping
the handle provided on the top of the machine. Place the machine on a serger sewing table or
any level surface that provides ample work area to the left of the machine. Place the foot control
in a pedal stay, if desired, and place if under the sewing table.
Plug the power cord into the machine first, then into a wall outlet. The power switch is located
toward the back on the right side of the machine. Always make sure the power is OFF when the
machine is not in use (fig.A).
Available foot control for U.S.A.: Model YC-482, or YC-420W
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.
The sewing speed of the machine is determined by the amount of pressure applied to the foot
control. When not in use, do not place anything on the foot control, or the machine could start
inadvertently and the foot control or motor could burn out (fig.A).
Raise the telescopic thread guide to its highest position of 14". Rotate the shaft to the left and
right until each section "clicks" into a locked position (fig.B). The front cover may be opened
simply by placing your fingers behind the tab at the right side and pulling toward you (fig.C).
To open the cutting blade cover, place your thumb against the tab, and slide the cover to the
right. A slight pull forward will allow the cover to swing down, providing access to the loopers,
blades, and thread guides (fig.D).
