appear.

area. Do not touch any moving parts, such as the thread
take-up lever, handwheel or needle.
* Always turn off the power switch and unplug from the
power supply:
- When leaving the machine unattended
- When attaching or removing any parts
- When cleaning the machine
* Do not place anything on the foot control, when not
sewing.
Polarized Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of an electric shock, this plug
is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit 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.
