SINGER W311 BBS - Manual (Page 33)

for portable installation
Please read these important instructions which were written
to aid you in placing your new sewing machine on its portable
base.
First, remove the nail which holds the foot control inside the
base to avoid damage in shipping. If a small plastic clamp is
fastened to the back and not to the top of the partition at one
end of the base, remove it, too.
After' unpacking the sewing machine unit, being certain to
take out the instruction book, guarantee and accessory box, lay
the unit face down on a table. You will see two clamping
screws A entering head hinge holes B on the underside of the
back.
On the base you will find two head hinges C which will fit
into holes B. Lower the base onto the sewing machine fitting
hinges C into holes B. Tighten screws A securely with a screw
driver.
With machine in sewing position attach plastic clamp D to
top of partition with screw provided so that it may be turned
across the bed of the machine, to hold it down. (On some bases
the clamp may be positioned in the proper spot).
To make the electrical connection draw the two wires through
the slot in the partition of the base. Plug the cord labeled “Motor”
into the receptacle marked “Motor” on the block attached to
the outer section ot the base. Then insert the other cord into
the “Light” receptacle.
Place the foot control on the floor, insert plug into a wall
outlet (110-115 volts) and you are ready to sew. But first read
the instruction book to become familiar with the threading of
the machine, tension adjustments and all the other features de­
signed to make sewing a pleasure.
