5 Special care is required when sewing:
Always pay close attention to the needle. Do not use bent or damaged needles.
Keep fingers away from all moving parts. Special care is required around the machine needle.
Switch the sewing machine to the symbol “O” position to turn it off when making any adjustments
in the needle area.
Do not use a damaged or incorrect needle plate, as it could cause the needle to break.
Do not push or pull the fabric when sewing, and follow careful instruction when freehand stitching
so that you do not deflect the needle and cause it to break.
