Safety instructions
Like any other electrical device, a sewing machine
can cause serious, even life-threatening injuries.
To avoid these, and to work safely:
• Always disconnect the power supply when leaving
the machine unattended. This will prevent the
risk of accidents if the machine is switched on
accidentally.
• First pull the power plug before changing the bulb
or performing maintenance work on the machine.
This will prevent possibly life-threatening electric
shocks.
• Do not pull the plug out of the wall socket by the
lead. When pulling out the plug, always hold the
plug, not the lead.
• Only use the sewing machine in dry rooms.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables
to be replaced at once by qualified technicians
or our Customer Service Department.
• This appliance is not intended for use by indivi-
duals (including children) with restricted physical,
physio-logical or intellectual abilities or deficien-
ces in experience and/or knowledge unless they
are supervised by a person responsible for their
safety or receive from this person instruction in
how the appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that
they do not play with the appliance.
• Never use the machine when the ventilation
apertures are blocked. Keep the ventilation
apertures of the machine and the foot switch
free from fluff, dust and waste material.
• Should the cable connected to the foot pedal
become damaged, to avoid potential risks it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, his customers
services or a similarly qualified person.
Warning about injuries and
material damages:
• Keep your work space tidy. An untidy workplace
can lead to accidents.
• Provide adequate lighting when working!
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these
can be caught in moving parts. You should also
wear a hair net if you have long hair.
• Avoid adopting an unusual posture. Remain steady
and in a well-balanced position at all times.
• If accidents occur as a result of handling the ma-
chine with insufficient care, or failure to follow
the safety instructions in this manual, then the
manufacturer cannot accept liability.
• Never cover the ventilation slots! Risk of over-
heating!
