OPERATING THE MACHINE
Connecting machine
• Before plugging in your machine, be sure
the electrical information on the side of the
machine A, below the hand wheel agrees
with the range marked on your electrical
meter.
• Connect plug B to machine and plug C to
your socket outlet.
• To turn the machine and light on (D) or
off (E), press switch as shown.
• To run the machine and control speed,
press the speed controller F with your foot.
The harder you press, the faster the ma­
chine will sew.
CAUTION: Disconnect the power line plug from the socket
outlet when changing needles, feet or needle plates or when
leaving the machine unattended. This eliminates the possibili­
ty of starting the machine by accidentally pressing the speed
controller.
IMPORTANT
Machines for Great Britain and some other
countries having similar wiring standards
are shipped from the factory without a plug
for connection to the mains.
The wires in this mains lead are coloured in
accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral (N) Brown - Live (L)
As the colours of the wires in the mains
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.
The wire which is coloured brown must be
connected to the terminal which is marked
with the letter L or coloured red.
If a 13 Amp. (BS 1363) plug is used a 3
Amp. fuse must be fitted, or if any other
type of plug is used a 5 Amp. fuse must be
fitted either in the plug or adaptor or at the
distribution board.
